Intriguing. Might be awesome or it  might be a horrible monster flick where you only see fragments of the monster ("Surface" anyone ?)

[Ashrak]

didnt surface get canned after season 1?

[Col. Fishguts]

Yes it was, and rightfully so.

[Topgun]

surface could have been cool if it wasn't for that dumb kid...

[Dark_4ce]

I agree! A little too much ET for me... Though I didn't really like the female lead either very much. But the big monsters were nice.

But about this movie, many people think it could be Cthulhu!

[Mefustae]

Hey, I liked Surface!

Anyway, I really dig this cinematic style. I know it doesn't work for some people, but I find that this first-person pseudo-home video style really ramps up the immersion factor. Looking forward to this one.

[Flipside]

I don't see any real way to hide a creature that can knock the head off of the Statue of Liberty, mind

Certainly nice tension building though, interested to see what it's about....

[Dark_4ce]

I dont think they'll hide it. They might leave it to the very end of the movie though, ala blair witch. Or... hiding it would be even more BW...

[Mefustae]

Where's this "stir" you refer to? I'm on the internets now, and I feel no "stir". Perhaps my internets are broken?

[Col. Fishguts]

I think he's talking about the blogosphere.

If you google for JJ Abrams you'll find dozens of blog entries, all containing the same scarce info about the project.

[Dark_4ce]

Youtube has some stuff on it too.

[brozozo]

I've heard speculation of a Cthulhu film, and that would be A-Oh-freaking-kay with me.

[Ransom]

Knocking off the Statue of Liberty's head is a pretty out-of-character thing for Cthulhu to be doing.

[Dark_4ce]

Knocking off the Statue of Liberty's head is a pretty out-of-character thing for Cthulhu to be doing.

Dunno.. Cthulhu is known to be a temperamental guy...

[TrashMan]

MEh...

[BloodEagle]

Ugh.

Scroll down to the embedded video clip to get a clearer slow-motion view of the brief glimpse we see the monster. Looks like some huge bipedal monstrosity .... so Cthulhu is still in the race.
