CLOVERFIELD trailer in HD and a glimpse, barely, of the creature!

Motion sickness... by -guyinthebackrow	Nov 19th, 2007 01:47:30 PM
Is not my friend.

mmmm sound design is going to be amazing
2nd by turbonerd	Nov 19th, 2007 01:48:43 PM
who cares - someone screengrab the monster - i dont see it!
Meh by lantern48	Nov 19th, 2007 01:49:54 PM
they're hiding all the details because it's not going to be that good. This is how they're gonna get people to pay to see mediocrity.
ahhhhh shucks by StrokerX	Nov 19th, 2007 01:49:54 PM
missed it...but i saw the trailer in front of Beowulf...seemed pretty intense. Though I was stoned out of my mind...so that may have helped. The shadow of the little monster reminded me of that turtle monster from Godzilla.
dramamine by fxmulder35	Nov 19th, 2007 01:50:10 PM
Back to Blair Witch territory. Movie looks super-cool. But I wonder if the whole movie is gonna be like that. With the herky-jerky thing going on. If so...wonder if they'll provide barf-bags at the door...cause 2 hrs of that is just gonna be AW-FULL!
I'm glad he stuck with that name for the title by Sith Witch	Nov 19th, 2007 01:50:17 PM
It has a nice ring to it; especially given that it's ironic in light of the disaster that thematically counters it.
Too much hype by Mr.King_Maximus	Nov 19th, 2007 01:52:53 PM
Good thing this is coming out in January. I'd hate to wait until the summer for the disappointment this movie will bring.
Nice.... by modlight	Nov 19th, 2007 01:53:07 PM
Looks like it not only destroys cities, but makes women fat real quickly. Maybe the title should be Starbucks.
the lion by lantern48	Nov 19th, 2007 01:53:53 PM
I can't wait to see the lion!!! You conspiracy gus DIS see the lion in this trailer, right?
I'm willing to lay down money... by DorkmanScott	Nov 19th, 2007 01:57:04 PM
That even in the film, we're never going to clearly see the monster or find out what it is. Part of the choice to do it from the point of view of "some random kids who happen to have a camera on" is the choice, presumably, that they're NOT going to be in the right place at the right time to get all the information they want or need. They're just going to be trying to survive. Personally I like the idea, I've been hoping to see a movie like this since Blair Witch.

Was that one girl... by -guyinthebackrow	Nov 19th, 2007 01:57:13 PM
exploding? Maybe she had the same noodles that John Hurt had.
i dont get it by ballsxcrew	Nov 19th, 2007 01:57:21 PM
really though...it does look pretty jerky, but NOWHERE near as disorienting as Blair Witch. and im sure that its not going to be shaky cam the whole time. there will be scenes where the characters are not running away, but are reacting to the attack (which seems to look like the whole point of the film, "I don't care what's out there, shes going to die.")
Didn't WE create the hype? by SkeletonParty	Nov 19th, 2007 01:58:37 PM
As far as I know, they simply released a trailer and some related web sites. We freaked/geeked out and talked about it way too much. I really can't blame the marketing too much on this.

this is The Blair Witch Godzilla by Cedar_Room	Nov 19th, 2007 01:59:16 PM
why all the hype on this site? This doesn't look anything extraordinary, and I really couldn't care less what the title is. And the way dates are written is Day-Month-Year.

I hope its good... by lovecraftian	Nov 19th, 2007 02:00:37 PM
There seems to be a lot of this going around now... Mulberry Street, The Mist and now this... I just hope it proves to be worth the wait. If it's not... well I'll pay for it anyway. Hell, has to be better than Crazy Eights... Blech!
I SUPPORT THE SHAKY CAM CTHULHU ON THIS ONE ! by Pound Sand	Nov 19th, 2007 02:04:57 PM

Cedar Room re: Dates by ShiftyEyedDog2	Nov 19th, 2007 02:06:05 PM
I know much of the world goes Day-Month-Year, but in the US, as far back as I can remember, it has always been Month-Day-Year. And seeing how how this is a US movie, and the advertisement is for its US release, yes, they go Month-Day-Year.
Who cares, Mr. Whipple just died. by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 19th, 2007 02:06:50 PM

Blair Witch Godzilla, exactly by ShiftyEyedDog2	Nov 19th, 2007 02:07:47 PM
well put. I also think we'll never see the creature clearly, which is just a cop out for keeping the budget down, because WHY would the kids stand around pointing a camera at military people firing and not at the thing they are firing AT?!?
And people gonna watch this? WOTW was 100 times better by Proman1984	Nov 19th, 2007 02:07:48 PM
And without the stupid shaky cam. Eat it!
SkeletonParty, way to blow our minds. by modlight	Nov 19th, 2007 02:09:00 PM
what are you trying to say, that this site and our excitement exists in a vacuum? That we hype things among ourselves to a point that we can't possbibly be pleased with the outcome and that pretty much the rest of the world just goes with whatever movie they can get tix for at the multiplex?
I don't think the whole thing is in shaky cam by TruPhan	Nov 19th, 2007 02:10:04 PM
Some of it in the trailer looked steadycam to me
i think by ballsxcrew	Nov 19th, 2007 02:10:46 PM
that part of the hype is the talent behind this film. it was made very cheaply (has been said by one of the actresses) so its all going to be camera work, sound design, and acting. i don't know, personally, im more excited about this than some dick shit getting way too much money to show some giant robots wrecking stuff, but still not actually show the work the animators did. This looks to be a project that a lot of people worked hard on and are very proud of. Not just some arrogant blockbuster in it for the money. you can't say that about a lot of american films (at least within the studio system) today. and then we can't say the marketing didn't work...even if people hate it, theyre still talking about it and spreading the word. Because no one knows ANYTHING, and everyone thinks thinks they know EVERYTHING.
Blair Witch Meets Tri star Godzilla by Le Phantom	Nov 19th, 2007 02:15:13 PM
Blair Witch POV shakey cam...Meets Tri star Godzilla...with a little of the Korean flick thrown in. And we'll get the sheep to all line up to see it with a Euro-tech yuppie idiot mystery ad campaign!!! I hope that I am wrong but it smells like the hype will outweigh the product.
You can't tell me that monster ain't Cthulhu... by Abin Sur	Nov 19th, 2007 02:16:39 PM

WTF my Quicktime is broken too. Damn you Steve JObs

its a lion. and we've never EVER heard that.
CTHULHU by GCH888	Nov 19th, 2007 02:18:05 PM
It would be unbelievably cool if these creatures are in fact the Great Old Ones and the movie is a modern retelling of the Cthulhu mythos. However I doubt it very much as I suspect the average popcorn munching cinema goer won't know anything about the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

unless the monster is made of smoke or fire by Datascream	Nov 19th, 2007 02:19:59 PM
it wasn't in the trailer from what I could tell. I saw a lot of explosions (cool), a silhouette of some chick getting inflated (sad, but cool) and lots of running around. I think people are just seeing monsters. However it looks like a fun flick. Honestly I hope they never show the monster in the movie at all. Else people will get the Godzilla feeling...if ya know what I mean.
King Kong Escapes Michael Bay by Le Phantom	Nov 19th, 2007 02:20:27 PM
why not just give the bayster 150 million and let him do a remake of "King Kong Escapes"! 2 big cgi monkeys flipping each other into buildings might be moderately amusin! Then we will let Tarantino do a 3 hour version of "War Of The Gargantuas", where the monsters do wire -fu and sit around talkin' sh*t!!!
Grumpy Grumpies! by HyphenatedWords	Nov 19th, 2007 02:22:07 PM
My goodness. I really think Harry should change the name from Talkback to Bitchback. Better yet, at the bottom of each article have two buttons. On the left, Talk, on the right, Bitch, then list them in two columns like pros and cons. Because honestly, people, this looks fantastic. Most people couldn't wet dream a concept as well as Abrahms can.

monsters. This film has more than one. and what the hell was going on in the scene with those er, whatever they are dressed in blue and that woman. I think it looks epic looking. Remember the trailer is 2 mins 6 secs.
Looks like a great story that by veritasses	Nov 19th, 2007 02:25:36 PM
might be ruined with vomit inducing shaky cam. I hope that's not the case. Directors really need to keep that stuff to a minimum. Damn hard to tell what's going on while everything's jerking around too.
modlight, I find it odd to complain about the hype. by SkeletonParty	Nov 19th, 2007 02:25:52 PM
It seems to me complaining about the hype assigns unspoken blame on the marketing when, in this case, the blame seems unwarranted as the marketing doesn't seem unusual. And, Cedar Room, there is no eighteenth month. The date is month-day-year. Movie looks great to me. Sure, there will be shaky-cam home movie stuff. But some of the surviving film should be from News agencies and professionals so we should get some smooth coverage, too.
chick was definitely exploding by drewlicious	Nov 19th, 2007 02:27:15 PM
If you go frame by frame she swells right up. Can't wait to see it, hope it comes to the Arclight so I can reserve a seat because I don't even want to risk sitting in the front row for this one. I'll get a headahce.
Datascream: by Barry Egan	Nov 19th, 2007 02:28:22 PM
This is JJ so there is a good chance the monster is made of smoke.

CUE MR. NICE GAIUS...did someone say 'CHTHULU'? by Pennsy	Nov 19th, 2007 02:29:18 PM

Skeleton, I agree by modlight	Nov 19th, 2007 02:29:58 PM
With Viral Marketing, the hype is directly proportionate to the people's response to it. And if people are sick of it already they probably shouldn't have gone out to buy posters for a movie they haven't seen yet. I think it looks great, and I think the rest of America (who has more time on their hands) loved the teaser, and will probably love this too and flock to this movie.

Good thing talkbackers opinions don't matter by MattmanReturns	Nov 19th, 2007 02:36:18 PM
Otherwise Snakes on a Plane would've been the biggest movie of last year. I just don't understand it... Abrams releases an obscure shakycam trailer for a monster movie and you guys go nuts. The world of movies would be a very sad place if you guys had any control.
Did the Statue of Liberty Head get bigger? by SkeletonParty	Nov 19th, 2007 02:38:36 PM
Looks like the SOL Head is bigger now. Am I wrong? Also, when they are in the convenience store (00.01.20) off-camera guys says, "Rob, Rob, I saw it. Rob, Rob, it's a lion!" and then the glass explodes just like when a lion hits glass. But seriously, did anyone notice the statue head is bigger?
Thank you as always, MNG... by Abin Sur	Nov 19th, 2007 02:38:41 PM
That was a rousing rendition. You know, if it IS Cthulhu, it would really be a win-win...the average moviegoer won't care as long as they get a kick-ass monster movie, and at the same time J.J. would CEMENT his geek cred with those that know all about the big guy.
already happened by ballsxcrew	Nov 19th, 2007 02:38:54 PM
the world of movies is already turning into a sad place brother. if beowulf's success turns film into that kind of garbage, there will be many tortured souls turning in their graves. this film on the other hand is exactly what it looks like. a cult film for people who love giant monster movies.

Wow, that actually looks horrible. by SamLowry27	Nov 19th, 2007 02:47:53 PM
The acting looks completely horrid. Which is what 90% of this will be, a bunch of crappy 20-something actors trying to prove their worth. You can just sense what this movie will be like from that trailer. I will be on the edge of my seat though... because I will be running back and forth to the toilet to puke my brains out due to the motion sickness.
after the fact by Salacious_Crumb	Nov 19th, 2007 02:49:40 PM
From the preamble (the area formerly known as Central Park?) and the digi-scramble of the soldier's face, I am going to guess that this movie is told both in the context of what happened on 01/18/08 and then the human response to it. Like how Bay's (godawful)Pearl Harbor is both the day that lived in infamy and the derring do that followed. Since we keep hearing that the whole thing wont be Blair Witch-y handheld--though the trailers dont show this. That could explain why the name of the site, and why the pics it shows is 01/18/08. That way you get the huge distruction and disaster, AND you get the monster's comeuppance!If NY and other places have laid in ruin for YEARS after this initial attack, then there is no sympathy for Cthulhu (or whatever) when they destroy him in the final act. And that would pack them into the theatres because people (especially the red states) would equate it with 9/11--and people with a direct connection to 9/11 could watch because it isnt 9/11. If that isnt the movie that they have made then they should go back to the drawing board with some smart writers...what? Writers are on strike? Well good luck to us all.

those aren't little creatures... by Preacher2	Nov 19th, 2007 03:03:19 PM
I watched that scene about 20 times and have come to the conclusion they are men in puffy hazard suits with misleading sound effects laid over the scene. Look at the shadows, they have hands, they are not attacking the girl they are trying to take her away. Watch the scene carefully, if they were monsters attacking a girl behind a thin sheet of plastic, would that guy being sitting there so calmly in the foreground? What is interseting about that scene is the shadow of the girl Watch it frame by frame, towards the end of that sequence, and this could just be a visual trick brought on by the plastic, but she seems to start expanding, swelling up, it looks weird. Anyway, just want to say that unless that scene is an outtake from TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze, those are merely guys in bio-hazard suits trying to subdue a woman who may or may not be having some sort of reaction to something that is causing her to possibly swell up...

...or the Whales will kill us. A green movie where mother nature fights back. Yay. Seriously though. It's a whale. With killer barnacles. Remember the Slusho site, "undersea ingredients"? Remember JJ Abrams saying the monster would be "uniquely American"? Remember the inclusion of several "little monsters"...all I'm saying is that barnacles and parasites grow off whales...and whales live underwater...and they do live predominantly in American waters...so...

Why the Statue of Liberty gets blown up by chrth	Nov 19th, 2007 03:21:30 PM
Because the French built it, and if the Maginot Line proved anything it proved that the French are lousy engineers. Just kidding. Sheesh, I'm coming off like some Right Wing Christian Nut in this talkback. Imminent CTHULHU arrival always makes me this way.

Davey Jones' design borrows heavily from Cthulu so by saying it looks like Dave Jones you kinda support the Cthulu idea, but I just wanted you to know that it's not POTC Abrams is potentially ripping off, it's Lovecraft.

For anyone interested by SkeletonParty	Nov 19th, 2007 03:27:42 PM
I screen captured the same frame of the Statue of Liberty head from the teaser and the trailer and posted them at http://tinyurl.com/24n4bp Interestingly, the CG model head switches in the middle of the whip-pan to the landing. The head that hits the building and smashes the PT Cruiser is the same from the teaser. Then it switches models on the whip. Kinda cool.

"uniquely American" whale does make sense by Laserhead	Nov 19th, 2007 03:45:22 PM
When it comes to whales, who's the iconic whale everyone knows? What's arguably the greatest American novel ever written, recognized the world over as a masterpiece? Moby-Dick. I'm just saying, Moby Dick is American, uniquely so, so a big walking whale could be uniquely American. I have no idea if it'd make a good monster, though.

Even when they think they've escaped in the helicopter they end up crashing. The film must of been retreaved from the crashed helicopter is my guess... and we only ever get to glimpse the monster throughout fragmented snapshots the entire time. I bet ya

It better not be a freaking huge whale, whales don't make good g by pelos_locos	Nov 19th, 2007 04:12:31 PM
First of all, whales are mammals. The only good giant monster mammal is King Kong. Giant fucking monsters should all be reptilian or marine non-mammal. Also, the most American monsters ever are taxes and giant turkeys, since turkeys were at some point considered to be the national bird. Besides giant monster turkeys make excellent hungry man tv dinners. In conclusion, the monster is an aquatic turkey, not a freaking whale.

Does the average audience need to know anything about Lovecraft? by Jor-El23	Nov 19th, 2007 04:25:40 PM
The fact that they're not marketing it as Lovecraft makes me think it is Lovecraft. I don't know much about his work other than what I've read in summaries but on a basic level it sounds fantastic and perfect for a big screen treatment. if you come out and say it's Lovecraft people will have no idea what it is and will be turned off by it. But if you just get them in the theater on the mystery and the trailers they won't care what it is, they'll just be entertained.

Looks like they took hollywood models/actors, meticulously lit scenes, shot handheld with better-than-warranted HD cameras that they "floated around" to make it feel somewhat amateurish (while still making sure to compose a shot as desired), and reacted in a scooby-doo big eyes way. Oh wait....they did.

Greengrass perfected the art of the big screen action barf cinema. On TV your eyes can keep good track of the imagery, but on a 30 foot screen its like getting whacked around for 90 minutes and then try to stand up. The snack counter better offer up dramamine and cue the iguana.

My theory - There are going to be two big monsters in this film by GornPirate	Nov 19th, 2007 05:15:16 PM
I think the big one being fired at by the army guys in the clip, let's call him Monster A, is kind of like Gamera. Big Turlte/Flying Lizard thing. The other monster, let's call it Monster B, we won't really know about it until the end because the characters and audience will think they are the same creature. It will be even weirder and shoot "quills" that infect it's victim with it's parastic young who start bursting out of infected humans from the first attack. Monster A emerged from the depths to kill Monster B and it's young.

BLAH. Fuck Cloverfield. by JackBauer24	Nov 19th, 2007 05:35:31 PM
Seriously, I don't get what the big deal with it is - it really doesn't look that exciting to me. It'll just be your standard monster/end of the world movie but instead of decent special effects and cinematography, it'll be shot wiggly-jiggly handheld with lots of unscripted people shouting "Oh my God!" and "Heather, that is so not cool.". Wahey. You want my opinion (rhetorical q) you're all marketing stooges. You fell for it with Blair Witch and now you're falling for it again, but moreso. How is it exciting that they're NOT SHOWING US ANYTHING about the movie. To me that says, they have nothing to show. Plus I hate JJ Abrams. The man is the most shameless self-promoter since Quentin Tarantino. He's not even directing the fucking thing and yet his name is plastered all over the product. I'd like to see any of you guys name the director of the movie right now without looking it up. It's the same with Lost - he wrote and directed one episode and everyone thinks he's the mastermind behind the entire thing. Most casual viewers probably don't even know who Lindelof and Cuse are (I love Lost, by the way). So hey, if the movie does turn out to be good - you can bet it won't be because of JJ Abrams (alias - meh. MI III - meh. Star Trek XI - will be meh, trust me) End rant.

Darth Razor and frame 1:44 by SkeletonParty	Nov 19th, 2007 06:50:09 PM
Darth, I think that image is of three people. Probably Rob and his two female companions. They are leaving a dark hall and entering a lit hallway with a stair rail. The girl in the lead is best seen. She appears to be tip-toeing down the hall, maybe looking down the stairs. In the foreground shadows are the silhouettes of a girl in capri pants walking toward the stairs hunched over like she's in pain. On her right is a figure in long pants also hunched over. Perhaps he's helping the injured girl. I don't see any cilia or creature popping out.
Looks great except for the acting by IndustryKiller!	Nov 19th, 2007 06:50:27 PM
which looks pretty damn bad. Especially that lead guy who I don't read any panic in at all when he's talking to the camera and that over the top deep voiced soldier. "Whatever it is, it's winning!"? Gimme a break.

The way they SHOULD be doing it by performingmonkey	Nov 19th, 2007 06:59:14 PM
What should happen in Cloverfield is there IS no monster, it's the government trying to fuck everyone up by blowing the shit out of the city and projecting holograms of planes, er I mean (bwaha) holograms of monsters. Now THAT would rule. I don't want yet another monster movie, I want something more interesting, more frightening. The guy holding the camera could discover the truth about what's happening and he's arrested. The camera footage he shot survives and is played for the U.S. audience. We cut to non-handheld camera stuff and we see the guy being interrogated. Suddenly King Kong and Godzilla appear and start beating the shit out of each other. Then Cthulu destroys them all. The end. And it's all a conspiracy!!

I tend to like your work. And the premise sounds cool and all, but that tiny trailer on my monitor had enough static and quick cuts to make me sick to my stomach. In fact, it was so nausea-inducing, it actually pissed me off. If you think I'm gonna buy a $12 ticket for a headache in January, you're outta your gourd. I don't want to see your movie.

If you think about it . . . by Turingtestee	Nov 19th, 2007 08:10:02 PM
Cthulhu has a face and head that with the ring of tentacles might come off as slightly lionish . . . not to support the whole lion thing (which does seem to be dying off anyway). I think Football is right . . . no one will see the creature and live. We in the audience might not see it either. God, I hope not. Didnt notice the chick swelling up until reading a post . . . gnarley At 1:44 might they be chased by something throwing a shadow from the other room? Havent been stoked on a movie like this since . . . um, well . . . Land of the Dead, and . . . yeah, that one was a real winner.

By the way, the movie's concept is laughable. by JackPumpkinhead	Nov 19th, 2007 08:14:16 PM
If JJ Abrams had any concept of how the real world works, he would have known that the monster would have quickly been taken down by the Powerpuff Girls.
Monster Movie with a twist by Salacious_Crumb	Nov 19th, 2007 08:27:01 PM
You guys are looking at the wrong things. 1)In the context of the movie this is footage that was found in the area once known as Central Park 2)There is a scene where a soldier's face, is digitally obscured. This along with assertions that there will be non shaky parts of the movie, tells me that parts of this movie will be told AFTER 01-18-08. My guess is that film will be set in the future and that the "archival" Cloverfield footage(which will end up being named for someone--ala the Zapruder films)will tell the story to kids of how the monsters took over the earth.

that i don't believe there are going to be any small monsters that are going to jump off the big monster. And, if by chance there are, they are not going to be biting anybody. This is not how people get infected. it's the "deep sea honey" or whatever the crap it's called, that infects people. I think this is probably eggs or something like that, and people who ingest it become infected, or impregnated in some way, with small monsters. That's what i think anyway.

Cthulhu should NEVER be a cool gimmicky substitute for Godzilla. And last time I checked, Cthulhu wasn't created by Slusho. Cloverfield is NOT Cthulhu.

It IS a Whale by Bobman46	Nov 20th, 2007 12:54:00 AM
Only, it's not a whale- they cast a bunch of Dolphins taped together that does - what they think - to be a convincing Whale ACCENT. Much like- yet again- casting a non scotsman as scottie. Yup, taped dolphins- hunners of them. Also, that bit in the trailer that have people all going, "oh there are little turtle things" - sorry if this has been pointed out but I can't be arse reading all the talkbacks- but IT'S GUYS IN CONTAINMENT SUITS BEHIND A SCREEN! Look at them- least- I hope it is cos if it's little turtle monsters, their outlines look shite!

BLAIRZILLA -- that silhouette looks like a giant hamster by KillaKane	Nov 20th, 2007 04:01:58 AM
This either succeeds or fails on the strength of the monster(s) and the implied terror of the shaky cam verite footage. The vibe is semi-there, but that shadow does'nt suggest a particularly terrifying mini-critter on the rampage. What worries me about this is that all the film's going to be viewed in FPP jarring hand held video with fragmentary shots of events (and I imagine fleeting glimses of the creature(s). Still not so sure about this one, would like to read some test screening feedback...

Shit by MaxTheSilent	Nov 20th, 2007 05:35:27 AM
Nice idea but the acting looks shit, which pretty much destroys any chance the movie has of succeeding on the level it's clearly intended. Blast BLAIR WITCH all you want (and if you do, you suck), but that movie worked because it was all improvised. Every line in this trailer is clearly scripted. All that's missing is a token black friend saying "I got a baaaad feeling about this!" My guess is, Abrams is such an maddeningly oblique cunt you'll never actually see the monster, and the Hugo Boss advert that is the cast of this movie will just gawk off-camera the whole time. If this movie sucks as badly as LOST derailed then God help THE DARK TOWER.

I thought, "Holy shit, we're all gonna die!". Complete and utter destruction (aka 'total fucking destruction'). Amazed and terrified at the same time...I woke up to quick to find out what happened but to think of the giant monster concept in reality isn't like actually seeing it...even if only in a dream.

This is what monster film used to be by emeraldboy	Nov 20th, 2007 01:51:12 PM
back in the days of the original and best king kong. even Jaws did. You got glimpses of the monster, here and there and monster attacked someone, it was done with shadow and menance and you knew the poor schlubs were in trouble the moment they turned. The directors of such of movies would play with you. pretending that someone was not going to be in trouble and then whack, poor guy gets eaten. What is differnt this time is that nobody gets to become the hero or whatever. Everyone dies. even the hero.

You fucking arrogant geek PRICK. Shut the fuck up with your spastic internerd 'FTW' shit and fucking admit you're wrong. This picture was posited as the Cloverfield monster on a variety of forums in July or thereabouts, just after the first trailer was released. Unsurprisingly, it was disproved almost instantaneously when someone found a link to the artist's site. This sculpture was created in 2003. It is not 'disinformation' or whatever the fuck else your arrogant geek mind may want to call it. It's very rare to find an internet poster whose tone, especially when dicussing a matter as ultimately trivial as the monster in a fucking movie, as as purely fucking ANNOYING as yours. And as for you, Valentine... keep up with that shit and I'll fucking have you stabbed. You heard. Cunts.

Or is the creature throwing/breathing fireballs at the beginning of the trailer? I think the chick is blowing up and not ripping off clothes (she may even be naked) There was a picture floating around of a model of a pillbug-looking crusteacian (too lazy to spellcheck) saying something like 'whatever this is it will f*ing kill you'. Anyone else see that?
Any possibility of Gamera here? by wellesfan	Nov 20th, 2007 09:12:36 PM
Gamera basically spits fireballs. A giant turtle could have giant sea lice. It would make more sense than a giant mutant whale -gorilla attacking from the ocean. Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris is a must see for giant monster fans, by the way.

"Star-spawn of Cthulhu The star-spawn of Cthulhu, or Cthulhi, have a physical simility with Cthulhu himself, but are of far smaller size. This race arrived with him, but relatively little is known about them. On earth they built the city R'lyeh, which later sank in the ocean, and where they still dwell with Cthulhu. A few are rumored to have escaped this incident, and can be found in hidden places on Earth."

So I'm asking you, could you please show a little holiday spirit and set aside your differences? Just for one night. Could you do that? For moi? Who knows?

IT'S NOT A FUCKING LION!! by Maniaq	Nov 21st, 2007 02:27:19 AM
Looks like that sculpture has been debunked as the monster, although I'd like to pose a possibility for ppl to ponder: We saw that they changed the head of the Statue of Liberty between the teaser and the trailer - like one was an unfinished version of the other. Maybe the brief glimpse of the monster we see in this trailer is just another TEMP model - like that head - and we have not actually seen ANYTHING of the monster that will actually appear in the final product? Either way, it's not going to be a FUCKING LION!
A fucking lion by 'Cholera's Ghost	Nov 21st, 2007 03:06:52 AM
A lion with the strength to tear apart a city is more than capable of swimming the ocean. Crossing the Atlantic, even. Also the guy in the convenience store goes "Robbie, Robbie, Robbie...it's a lion", then as SkeletonParty pointed out, the glass shatters, exactly the way it would when a lion hits glass.

A Giant Igauna. Cloverfield is a remake of the host and JJ should come out put his hands and say that this is the case. In the korean movie it was american company that created the monster. but in JJ's movie it is japanese company that does the toxic dumping leading to the destruction of NY. the monster is possibly a hybrid creature. Whale/chameleon/iguana/squid creature. There are more monsters in this movie and ones that we havent seen yet. Take the scene with the copter. maybe there is a fyling monster.

I hope this movie doesn't blow(hole). Hopefully it will be whale-y good. Haha. It's a whale. No, it's Frank Whaley from......wait for it............Swimming with Sharks. It's a fucking whale.
NO MC-909 as Pillow and I confirmed by Kloipy	Nov 21st, 2007 09:05:12 AM
it is Kathy Bates with tiny warwick davis's climbing out of her gaping maw; ie vagina

Kloipy..there will always be non-believers... by just pillow talk	Nov 21st, 2007 09:19:02 AM
nothing pales in comparison to the WHITE SCREEN OF DOOM though. Will nothing stop your tyrannic rule????
Here's a picture of the monster NEW by Kloipy	Nov 21st, 2007 09:30:22 AM

Blair Witch Meets Godzilla by Abominable Snowcone	Nov 21st, 2007 09:47:36 AM
Looks cool, the reality TV-shakey cam stuff...but I can't get emotionally invested in a cast of 20-something carefree Gen Ys.
People assume it's a lizard monster by Abominable Snowcone	Nov 21st, 2007 09:52:48 AM
or something, when in fact the true giant menace in "Cloverfield" is this: http://tinyurl.com/292ssx
WTF - there's a real Cthulhu movie coming out ?? by pumaman	Nov 21st, 2007 09:54:51 AM

it's shit
Is there a name for the haircut by Abominable Snowcone	Nov 21st, 2007 09:56:27 AM
that all these 20ish guys have in movies that make them deliberately look like they just rolled out of bed? You know, that whole rooster-bedhead-I'm too hip to brush but wouldn't you know I did brush it into this shape for an hour haircut?
a name for the haircut - by finky089	Nov 21st, 2007 10:09:47 AM
I'd call it "lame" but perhaps that's b/c my jewfro does that shit on its own and I've been trying for years to keep it tamed. Unlike those wanna-be's who have to get it "styled" that way.
And, as long as I'm lurking here... by finky089	Nov 21st, 2007 10:12:01 AM
Is it possible that most of us on this board will eventually be underwhelmed with whatever the Cloverfield monster turns out to be after so much speculation? At this point I would find it most amusing for it to actually BE Kathy Bates.
Somebody find the replign machine and go forward by finky089	Nov 21st, 2007 10:13:03 AM
in time to find out what the monster is. Is Orcus the time traveler around? John Titor, please help us!
Finky by Kloipy	Nov 21st, 2007 10:18:53 AM
didn't you see the picture I just posted! JJ confirmed that it is the monster!

ya know what would be awesome? by just pillow talk	Nov 21st, 2007 10:42:30 AM
If the WHITE PAGE OF FUCKING DOOM would leave me in peace. That would just be peachy.
Kloipy...I was going to post that pic.... by just pillow talk	Nov 21st, 2007 10:45:20 AM
But you've used that one before, though I can't imagine a more reprehensible pic of THE Bates. Yo finky...I think Orcus only goes to the past. The future is a scary place.

The Statue head IS BIGGER! by batzilla	Nov 21st, 2007 11:59:30 AM
and a little different from the "teaser" trailer. The top part of the head in this new trailer is broken off and the head is about 20% larger. I watched both frame by frame and this new head is much better. : )

Revenge of the seafood brought to you by slusho by Chutch	Nov 21st, 2007 12:12:28 PM
a giant walking whale and a band of mutant crabs attack nyc. awesome. now just like all those voltron fucks, i'm gonna have to hate on the retarded cthulu followers, because this ain't it. btw lovecraft wasn't that good of a writer and most of his shit was racist. oh and the this trailer stole heavily from the style of the latest MGS4 trailer. bet this is typical january crap flick.
Teaser is 100x better than the Trailer by Drathan	Nov 21st, 2007 12:59:33 PM
Something is lost in the trailer, I dont know what exactly, but it feels like an ad for a blockbuster movie. The teaser didnt feel that way. Ah well. I regret the hours I sunk analyzing the frigging swf files off slusho.jp ...
You guys amaze me by EricST1	Nov 21st, 2007 02:20:10 PM
When the first trailer for this movie came out I was so fucking excited. I usually try to stay away from the AICN boards because a lot of you guys have so much pent up anger that you let go on these boards that it kills the fun of posting/reading. Why do you guys waste your time posting BS pics? We all know what's real...why can't we all patiently wait until something official comes along? It's almost December...in less than two months we'll all see this flick. Until then why not stop the hate and have fun with this thing?
EricST1, are you calling me a liar mother fucker by Kloipy	Nov 21st, 2007 02:32:18 PM
I told you Kathy Bates is the monster so you better damn well believe it
She's going to hobble NYC by Shaw	Nov 21st, 2007 02:40:34 PM

Dearest Kloipy by EricST1	Nov 21st, 2007 03:11:40 PM
the joke of posting fat, disgusting women wasn't even clever the first time...we get it...they're gross and look like monsters...haha...ha...ha...eh hh
This hype is fun by ufoclub1977	Nov 21st, 2007 03:23:24 PM
Can't wait to see this... check out this homemade horror gem of a monster movie: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DM_ If7Dj_Z8
The monster is a giant Isopod. by FexFX	Nov 21st, 2007 04:14:52 PM
What you see in the preview is a head on view of it beginning to turn. Do a google image search for Isopod.

How come no one thinks it could be Mothra? by kirttrik	Nov 21st, 2007 06:02:16 PM
Why not?
So all the rumors are dead on... by kirttrik	Nov 21st, 2007 06:03:43 PM
...kinda disappointing.
JJs kid found the monster in a store? by Boober	Nov 21st, 2007 10:55:43 PM
Is this a verifiable rumor. His kid found a small rubber/plastic toy monster and JJ just went SoC with it? Has it been talked about or refuted that Cloverfield could be a semi-remake/different angle on THIS:(?) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00 45546/usercomments
Yeah, this isn't so much..Godzilla meets Blair.. by Boober	Nov 21st, 2007 11:01:23 PM
as it is "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" meets Blair-cam.
Rodo by lethargy	Nov 21st, 2007 11:07:18 PM
Do people tell you to shut the F when ever you try to talk to them? I'm sorry if you are attempting to be funny or ironic, but most people would have to work really hard to post come up crap with that lame. Stop it. Just stop. Think about things for a few days. When you start to feel some genuine shame, come back and share it. And maybe one day someone will "suck it", after you stop babbling nonsense, get a job, and quit playing with transformer dolls. Yes, they're Dolls.

white screen of doom! by ironic_name	Nov 22nd, 2007 12:47:24 AM

Rodo, we're not listening because by The Inspector	Nov 22nd, 2007 05:42:35 AM
we all went here http://tinyurl.com/3belkw and saw the damn thing lined up side-by-side with two dozen other sculptures all displayed the same way with a description identifying exactly what it is. You keep insisting the same thing over and over, despite evidence to the contrary, and the rest of us have moved on.
Looks like some kind of Bat monster to me. by ELGordo	Nov 22nd, 2007 01:36:27 PM
So maybe it's Batzilla. Here is a grab from the trailer http://tinyurl.com/3d6fyv Here it is outlined. http://tinyurl.com/2mg3rv
Was that..... by TheProfessional	Nov 22nd, 2007 07:20:25 PM
Man-Bear-Pig!?! It may be produced by JJ Abrams but it was created and directed by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
if we don't see the monster, we riot by EricST1	Nov 22nd, 2007 07:27:52 PM
i don't know how...but that would really be some bullshiz
From the lack of posts it would seem that... by L.H.Puttgrass	Nov 23rd, 2007 02:19:29 PM
the monster frenzy is over. For now. And what have we learned? The monster is possibly: Rosie O'Donnell Kathy Bates A whale A mutated whale-squid thing A giant fish-man? Something only seen as a shaky-cam blur. Everybody's favorite, CTHULHU!! Voltron?. jeez... In other words, SQUAT! We got squat. So until the next trailer, the monster frenzy is over. For now.
This movie is going to rule the universe by SkeletonParty	Nov 26th, 2007 06:15:21 PM
