Cloverfield
 

Remember the trailer with the party then everyone starts to freak out and theres people screaming about what ever, then the Statue of Liberty's head gets hurled down the street, and then there was no title? Well this is drawing all kinds of internet hype, IGN is all over it, and there is a bunch of blogs, and viral marketing sites.

It seems really cool (I just pray it's not the same camera style as the teaser... ala Blair Witch) and theres all kinds of speculation about it, Is it an "end of the world" movie, is it Godzilla, is it Voltron (lol) is it Chtulu... er how ever you spell that.

When I saw that, I immediately thought Godzilla...however Voltron would be awesome! :)

It's J.J. Abrams' new project. Its codename is "Cloverfield", with a temp title of "The Parasite."

It's filmed with only the home video cameras.

I had made a mental note to look it up but totally forgot due to transformers being awesome! Thanks for the remind!

I hope it's somehow centered around Aliens! If it's a natural disaster movie, I will be disappointed.
I want to see Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith kicking some Alien ass!

That sucks, I did think it worker really well for the teaser but who wants to see a home video on the big screen?

Same people that liked Blair Witch, which was plenty. I loved it, and am definitely gonna see this.

The trailer totally reminded me of the trailer for Alien. Except this guy didn't even give us a title.

Godzilla did come to mind as well, then I thought maybe it's a remake of some old sci-fi movie. So who knows.

Its not a remake, it IS a giant monster/robot movie. But not Godzilla or Transformers.

But I told J.J. Abrams the other day "Dude," I said, "make a Godzilla movie!" and he went "Okay, but don't tell anyone."

You know, I'm a sucker for these movies, nothing like a giant monster trashing cities. And certainly, the genre could need new blood, but there honestly isn't anything wrong with Godzilla... apart from the 1997/8 live action debacle. Now I must go and borrow my friend's Godzilla DVDs...

I've read other rumors that it is the movie adaption of the ever-awesome game Rampage. I've read some really idiotic one aswell, one guy at IGN thinks that it's Star Trek (trec as he put it). But the worst one of all was when I actually saw this teaser in theatres the hill billy behind me told his kid that it was Bigfoot :o :lol: :lol: :o

Y'know... I went into the theater knowing about this preview and all about the 'reverse psychology tactics' they're employing with it.

And it so totally works. I really wanna see what it's about now.

Want to see the trailer without having to go to the theater? Seen the trailer but want to peep at it again?

Here you go, folks.

I must say, that certainly doesn't look as weak as The Blair Which.

It does look a hell of alot better, but I still hate the "home movie" feel.

When i saw I thought Godzilla too, but then being the nerd that i am i realized the roar could never have been my favorite king of all monsters. The reverse psychology realy worked because whatever it is i wanna see it.

I'll definitely be there but as most people have said, the first thing I thought was "Blair Witch meets War or the Worlds."

I guess Godzilla is a very likely answer. It's easier to see Hollywood remaking that than coming up with something completely original at this point, and I actually mean that as non-cynically as possible. It's just sorta the thing to do these days, obviously.

That being the case and hearing that there's some large monster destroying the city, it's hard to assume otherwise.

Some weird drink website?
HP Lovecraft references?
oooooohhhh

Blair Witch was a great idea, especially filming it the way they did. Mainly people just don't like new approaches is all.

This is beyond weird... I'm hooked!

I totally leaned over my friend(big LOST fan, like myself) during the trailer and said, "It's like LOST and the Polar Bears". Then JJ Abrams popped up.

It was a very cool trailer.

Im going to go see this no matter what because it it comes out on my birthday. But thats not the only reason I also really like the style of filming and I never saw Blair witch.

And Hollywood's Hype engine kicks in again.

...Oh wait, it's good ol' talentless JJ Abrams, master of cliches, begins the lesson but can't finish the lecture. Mission: Impossible III did not remotley make a dent, his unusedSuperman script was beyond redemption, and he's likely going to make the next Star Trek film a highly convulted mess fans will understand, but the audience that guarantees larger money won't swallow.

lol, blair witch project, the name sounds corny but let's prey they keep the awesomeness, when i saw this trailer i got chills right off. Especially when they ran outside and you saw the first explosion.. I almost cried when i saw the liberty's head fall, i guess i forgot to tell you guys, i'm patriotic.

i so can't wait for this movie because its effects are awesome and you could feel like you're in it. I think they did the ultimate scheme by doing what they did, the first ones to do this sorta thing in a long time, just drives people insane not being included, we'll be seeing more of this sorta scheme being used everywhere knowing how successful it is.

I don't know what this movie is...but I want to see it when it comes out.

My brother saw a nameless trailer. He remembers seeing a lion and perhaps a sword. Hence he suspects it is Voltron indeed.

I must have been in the bathroom at the time.

It's not Voltron, no lions are mentioned, all you hear is a scream, an explosion, a statue's head.

The usual cryptic JJ Abrams crap.

Looked this guy up and I've never seen any of his work. Though I saw Joyride but he only produced that and that movie was horrid.

Everyone always raves that Lost is a good show so who knows. Only thing is going from doing a TV series to a movie is a big jump.

If you want to see the lions and perhaps a sword yourself or prove your brother wrong (hint: He's either wrong or he's seen something that doesn't exist) click here.

I like how it looks and all but boy oh boy is that cgi bad or what?
That statue of liberty head looks so cartoony.

Putting the cheap back in horror. They're just actually doing some computer work on the film. Has that been done before in current horror films?

Its just a teaser trailer so thats to be expected.

There's more than a scream, some guy runs by the camera-man and says "I saw it, it's alive, it's huge!". That's what I heard in the theatre, but afterwards I saw a few people on the internet saying that the dude didn't say "alive", but "a lion" and now I can't make up my mind. But yea, no sword and no visible lion.

Excuses excuses...:lol:
I do have to admit it does sound like he says "huge Lion!"

The local papers must have given him a bad review on his last stand-up gig.

Because Hollywood likes to ruin 80's cartoons?
hahahah

It could certainly be a Voltron trailer with whatever Voltron would be fighting destroying the city and not necessarily Voltron.

I heard, "It's a lion." too
