Forums: Cloverfield

ok i went to go see transformers today and during the previews there was a preview for a movie but it did not have a title... During the preview there was a going away party and the person that was going name's was rob. During the party there was a "earthquake" and everybody ran outside. Everybody looked towereds downtown New York City and there was a fireball and a strange roaring sound. It did not show what the name of the movie was or when it was coming out and it looked really good and i was just wondering if anyone new what the name of the movie was or when it is coming out. Thanks:smile:

Cloverfield is the working title, apparently. It's a hush-hush film from JJ Abrams of LOST, Alias, and M:I3 fame.

...

first of all, Cloverfield is the working title. Chances are they will end up giving it a title that makes more sense. Second, I really wasn't as blown away by this as most people were.

...I have to explain...this thread was accidentally deleted, so I've tried to salvage all of your posts and put them here. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It's insane, I'm only going to see Transformers tonight, but I already heard so much about the trailer that plays before it... Anyone heard about it? A JJ Abrams (from LOST) production that seems to be a monster movie filmed with hand held cameras. Except that no one really knows what monster it's about. Best guess seems to be Godzilla, but some people say it's Voltron or something??!? I would bet in Godzilla though (unfortunately, because I think another remake after the Matthew Broderick flop is a bad choice).
LOL I love internet buzz though I can't wait to watch the trailer tonight . Some say it's one of the best trailers ever?

it looked pretty good, but its a pretty stupid marketing idea to release a teaser for a movie that doesn't have a title yet. That's what made Michael Bay so pissed off about the way Dreamworks advertised The Island in America.

I supose the whole point is creating a lot of mystery around the whole thing, to increase the buzz.. Hence we don't even know the title.. I guess it's working too..

The Island trailers were funny because they practically told us the entire plot of the movie. XD I hate that!

As I said in the trailers section, this was probably the best TEASER Ive ever seen. The only bad thing is the fact that it doesnt have a title. Without a title people in the audience were left thinking "what the hell was that?" instead of "that movie looks awesome!"

Yeah, the funny thing is, everyone's discussing it anyways, even without knowing the title (there are numerous blogs that try to keep up to date news about it).

Oh, I saw Transformers last night (which was awesome) but they didn't show the trailer, must be a US only thing :| But I managed to watch it somewhere on the internet, and I must say, I was really impressed.

Doesn't seem to me it's about Godzilla anymore though.

Also like adonihs says back at DeviantART:

"At the end a girl goes "What is it? Is it coming this way"
and to her response, a man goes "I saw it! It's a lion, it's huge!""

But still, I don't think a movie about Voltron would be shot in this way. That's insane. So it's probably something completely new and exciting that sprang out of JJ Abrams mind.

This trailer most certainly confused me. Though it seems all hints point towards the Voltron movie, it doesn't seem like Voltron is far enough into production to tease people with a 2008 release for January.

How'd it get deleted. We have such crappy mods here ; )

Oh Banshee I only named the thread "Cloverfield" (note the quotes that I didn't use in the word Transformers) because it's what people are calling it, making it easier to be recognized.

What is Voltron?

Look familiar?

Not at all, sorry. But, again, giant-ass robots are not my thing at all. That's why I'm not and have never been interested in Transformers.

Heres the trailer for those have yet to see it. The quality is sh*tty but it's the best I could find.

Regardless of the quality Bolger, thanks for the chance to see it. Camera phones. You gotta love 'em!

YouTube took it down. Must be pretty hush-hush.

Alright MovieWeb just added the trailer to the vault!

....Orrrrr you could just read the synposis on IMDB:

A giant monster movie (currently referred to internally as Cloverfield; the monster itself is referred to as "The Parasite", not to be confused with the film project The Parasyte) that is shot using home video cameras from the point of view of people who are experiencing an attack on New York City.

You can check out 1-18-08.com for more info and rumor has it ethanhaaswasright.com as well.

Wow that's really specific. So it's what, a giant tapeworm?

I dunno, its hard for me to get excited for this. Mainly cus i hated Open Water so much, and its the same idea only a different genre.
