Cloverfield

*ToTheNines* · 07-10-2007, 10:16 AM

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!

*Brodie* · 07-10-2007, 12:11 PM

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.

PipingPringle · 07-10-2007, 02:19 PM

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

*Revan* · 07-10-2007, 02:27 PM

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.

*Spitfire* · 07-10-2007, 03:02 PM

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.

*Brodie* · 07-10-2007, 04:03 PM

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

*Anarky* · 07-10-2007, 04:31 PM

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...

*ToTheNines* · 07-10-2007, 05:23 PM

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

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.

*KROW* · 07-12-2007, 11:23 AM

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.

*gobo* · 07-12-2007, 11:57 AM

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

*ToTheNines* · 07-12-2007, 12:30 PM

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

Zog the Equalizer · 07-13-2007, 11:44 AM

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.

Krueger · 07-13-2007, 02:33 PM

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

*Dr. Doom* · 07-13-2007, 03:01 PM

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.

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