Cheeks Spread for Digital Only Future
Do you mean scream, because scary movie was never prestigious.

Or...This is the End or Pacific Rim 2. I could see a lot of crossover potential.
Edit: Fuck, The Road. Why not.
Has to be Scream. The first Scream was like "Whoa, WTF am I watching? This is cool as fuck." The sequels were just tired wink fests.
98.5% of prequels suck. It takes a special premise to make them work. Most of the time it's just a lazy cash grab that serves no purpose.

I'd pay to see Cabin in the Woods 2: Until Dawn.
The first one was right up there with Scream as a lampoon of horror movies, albeit not as "subtle." Scary Movie 2 quickly changed this and turned the series into latent homophobia jokes. Now we have the Spartan Movie. And I only use "prestigious" in a legacy kind of way, as in no one likes any of the movies now because of the shit that followed the first.

That was my original thought but the circumstances are so different. The first CitW was a wide release Hollywood film. It would be a hard sell to essentially remake the first film but play even more with the tropes and such.
Edit: Unless you're specifically referring to ED3 as a sequel, not the prospect of CitW2 mirroring ED2 in its approach.

so it will be a prequel? would be cool to see another type of horror monster get the job done and avoid the first ones ending. Long as its not a found footage or webcam villain.

I'd be curious about the creation process of the monsters.

Even if they come up with a good story line, they won't be able to capture the shock and awe of the first movie's plot. It would be similar to The Matrix for me in that part of the reason the first movie was so good was because of the mindfuck called reality the movie portrayed.
Would rather they just leave it at Cabin in the Woods.
Now.. A new movie and genre from them, I'd be interested in.
Why CGI? Their practical effects were fucking fantastic.
It ended. Leave it be.

However, if they WERE to do an actual sequel, they'd have to make it just as unique and special as the original. They would need to come up with a very unique, unexpected spin to general "sequels" and subvert all tropes that sequels fall in with.
If they can pull that off, just like they did the original, that'd be fucking perfect.

Obviously the sequel will be about
humans fighting the old gods the came crashing through and up from the Earth

If they do it, they'd better have the guts to actually make a direct sequel. Taking the easy way out with a prequel or retcon or some such would instantly kill my interest.

a Transformers crossover with Autobots to the rescue?

Set the sequel hundreds of years in the future. Humanity survived by looking to the stars, but they still need to appease the Gods and so the horror continues in space.
I don't see a sequel to this working at all.
Not just because of the ending, which I guess you could write around if you were desperate enough, but IMO the movie also relied heavily on the twist. Without the twist it kind of just becomes what it's making fun of, unless you just go full on wacky comedy or something.

Just ignore the first movie and do something new or remixed, like Evil Dead 2
Not that it's that big a of a surprise, as it's heavily telegraphed, but it's definitely the crux of the entire movie IMO.

I've long since stopped worrying about sequels sullying already good self contained movies, so if they say they have good ideas I'd trust the team that made the first as great as it was.

There is actually already a prequel where that happens, it's a movie called The Faculty and they actually reference it in-universe at the beginning of CitW (although with the way CitW is set up, just about any horror movie is a prequel, but they specifically refer to The Faculty as the only other time the US has failed)
I put how it could continue right in the OP guys, that spoiler isn't just something I thought up myself. It's the actual sequel idea Goddard and Whedon came up with, in the official art / "companion" book for the first movie. They talk about it at least twice. They may go down a different route if/when they do make a sequel, but the answer to your question already exists.
Here it is again for people who missed it in the OP:
Q: How can you make a sequel to Cabin in the Woods?
A:
The Intern is the only survivor and he now rules over the Ancient Ones.
Source:
There might be more to it that I can't remember (i can't seem to find my copy of the book) but that's the basic idea they have/had at the time.
