Cloverfield
Cloverfield - Newest project from JJ Abrams, producer of Lost and Alias.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ogrl/55m-4.jpg It's a giant monster movie! Early rumors coined it "The American version of The Host." Initial Teaser can be found here on YouTube. I first saw it when watching Transformers in the theater. New Theatrical Trailer. Paramount's Website IMDB Entry. Wikipedia entry. If you Google, you find all kinds of related Blogs and fanboy/girl speculation. Honestly, I'm psyched. I would love to see a successful Monster Movie (honestly, I was a huge fan of The Host, so as long as this isn't pure mimesis, hopefully it will be good). Not to mention, I am also a big fan of Alias and Lost (though mostly the earlier episodes of those series). Not to mention, the parasitic marketing is intriguing and fairly well done. |
Looks intense, haven't had a good monster movie in a while.

The fact that they are keeping the monster so secretive makes me want to see it all the more.

That first teaser that I saw in front of the Transformers movie was absolutely brilliant... What I hope the intention of the handheld cam is to capture a lot of the panic (having the first person perspective of a panicked victim)... Monster movies are just as much about the human panic/element to it as it is the monster itself... I am VERY excited about the monster camcorder. :) I can't wait to see the Monster, too. Definitely browse through the Blogs... The hype and speculation is definitely part of the film (incidentally, ALSO like Blair Witch). |
There's 2 different drawings circulating the net that claim to be monster. Haven't looked at them myself, though.

My boyfriend has been tracking this thing religiously over the net ever since we saw the trailer. He's got every website even remotely associated with it bookmarked and he checks them almost daily from what I can tell.
Me, I'm steering clear simply because I like to judge a movie based on the initial impression I get of it and not the hype around it. But if it is like The Host (which we own, and love) I'm going to be all over this like white on rice. I was afraid it was going to be a completely different angle on Godzilla, ignoring the original one with Matthew Broderick in, it set in an alternate universe where such things didn't happen. I'm told that's reeeally unlikely now, so that's something of a comfort. At this rate, though, I think I'm going to ask the bf to take me on a tour through what he's uncovered just so I can get in on why he's so excited to see "Slusho" on Heroes. |
I can't wait to see this. I'm glad they finally gave it a title, though, without a title, it was so secretive. And that got me excited. Nonetheless, we have no glimpse of the monster, and I hope it stays that way until you see the movie.

Looks to be promising. I will definitely check it out.
