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

Yes it was, and rightfully so.

Re: 1-18-08 JJ Abrams new movie
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! :D

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.

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....

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...

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

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.

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

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...

:bump:

The first real trailer has been released: http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/cloverfield/

Blog with some info and screencaps: http://www.cloverfieldnews.com/2007/11/19/official-2nd-trailer-for-cloverfield-up-at-applecom/#more-124

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.
