onewheeled999 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I know this was a while ago, but before the movie Transformers, there was a very peculiar preview for a movie without a title. The trailer can be seen here: Now titled 'Cloverfield', producer J. J. Abrams has released minimal information about the film. Only a release date, and a second trailer have been released. Trailer 2 This is a thread to discuss the movie, what we think it is, etc. To begin, what do you guys think the creature is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 http://www.1-18-08.com/ Does anyone read Chinese symbols? If so, find the picture with the guy holding the platter and shake it. If you can read the first line, you're awesome. I'm assuming it's a recipe, but I don't know. And judging by the clip in the Theatrical (#2) trailer, the monster doesn't look as big as I though it was going to be. I was picturing it King Kong-big, not Sasquatch-big.

Disney Dood Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I hate when people think the guy says "it's a lion!" in the trailer. No he didn't say its a lion you fudging d****bag he said "it's alive", maybe you just need a hearing check. The monster is going to be something original, not Godzilla or Cthulhu or Gamera or a lion or Hilary Clinton. But anyway, I saw a poster for it at my local movie theatre when I went to see "I Am Legend" the other day, I got fairly excited. Can't wait!

alpengeist04 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Possible spoilers ahead: Dark Horizons Reports yesterday of there being small raptor-like monsters appearing in the big J.J. Abrams-produced monster movie opening in January are correct it seems. Two agency sources today have sent along the following confirmed MAJOR SPOILER tidbits from the highly anticipated release: - All the monsters are carnivores and eat people throughout. - The smaller monsters grow from scales shed by the big monster. - There is no back story as such like for "Godzilla" or "The Host", the big one simply emerges and the present script draft has it ultimately vanishing back into the sea. - Also don't expect much in the way of survivors at the end, literally anyone can be killed at any time, including the leads.

raptorcrew2002 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 It’s Voltron vs. Godzilla. (Better then nipples on the bat suit) Minus the shaky cam pov (which is how the whole movie is shot) it might have been fun if they could have tossed some level camera video also. I thought the Blair witch sucked and most likely with this whole movie being in that concept I have to expect the same unless somehow the guys pov who is recording it happens to have a tripod as he’s running around town trying to get away from Godzilla. Seems cheesy, and I’m tired of poor NY always getting the boot. Time to lay out LA or something. And yes with the parasite idea, raptor like not exactly. In one of the previews you can see the shadow of one of the smaller creatures attacking someone behind a white sheet. (I won't give it away tho.) “It’s a lion” Was the Voltron joke going around for a while, long time back. Now they just say it to screw with the die hard people who can’t get girl friends, or take a joke. (Just letting you know how it started) ** "The Happening" with Marky Mark. Looks to be another of this type of movie minus the hand cam..

coasterfreak101 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 www.ethanhaaswasright.com *EDIT: Site has nothing to do with Cloverfield. And just to throw it out there, I like the handicam idea. I think it gives the viewer a better sense of being part of the movie and not just a spectator.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedracer Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 (Better then nipples on the bat suit) Minus the shaky cam pov (which is how the whole movie is shot) it might have been fun if they could have tossed some level camera video also. Ain't nothing better than bat suit nipples! I agree with the documentary shaky camera style, absolutely hate it! Bad enough when they do it on TV, on a movie screen, makes me want to hurl. Love me a good giant lizard flick, but I'll probably pass on this one just because I know the extreme shaky cam work will ruin any fun for me.

Bucket Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 ^I thought the shakiness was only for the trailer? Ah, I was exited about this movie for awhile but now it just looks like those huge buildups that is just going to be a letdown. I am curious to see what the monster is going to look like though........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptorcrew2002 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Spoiler.. Heres the first image release of the monster. Don't scroll down if you don't want to see it. And yes the whole movie is shot like the trailer, pov. The only good thing I could think of is this. Unknown cast, check. Cheap way to film, check. Apply money in the special fx, maybe "But doubt it, studios are so cheap" I'm just looking forward to Indy, Batman, and Iron Man right now. NY is screwed..

bigstevet07 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 And yes with the parasite idea, raptor like not exactly. In one of the previews you can see the shadow of one of the smaller creatures attacking someone behind a white sheet. (I won't give it away tho.) I originally thought that too, until one of the TV spots show that the things behind the sheet are 2 guys in Haz-Mat suits escorting a women away. Right before you see the sheet, you can hear someone say "she was bitten," or something like that, and there is a quick shot of a woman and her face is blue. This movie is going to be awesome, whoever said the monster isn't going to be that big, look closely at any of the previews when they show and empty street and it looks like part of the building if falling. If you pause it at the right time, you can see the back of the monster, and its as big as the buidling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpfan101 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think it looks really good even though the previews don't release a lot about the movie itself. I think it is just going to build the anticipation. Hopefully it doesn't make everyone suffer from anticipointment though. --David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewheeled999 Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Yay! Cloverfield is coming to theaters this Friday! Too bad that's the day that I leave for my church's Winter Camp. Maybe I'll have a little party and go to it with my friends or something. Oh, and I have absolutely no information on the movie, besides the commercials with the Slusho (You can't drink just six!), they have SOME connection to the movie. And I think I already said this.

SonOfBeastSucks Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have to write a review of it for my school paper and I get in for free anyway because I work for AMC, so I'm going to go to the midnight showing tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroworldfan1 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 It looks like a nice movie, but not the best. I saw on Entertaiment Tonight, they were comparing the movie to 9/11. Skyscraper collapes, people run and seek shelter in stores and a black typhoone of dust and debress covers New York. I guess I should watch it. -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI Jizzman Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Seeing it tonight! The monster is rumored to be tentacled. And the small monsters are supposedly spider-like; the bite from them causes you to inflate until you explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
