Cloverfield

[Mr. Credible]

cmon...didn't that roar SOUND like that of a huge robotic lion?

it sounded like a huge robotic something... and i still swear that guy said "it's a lion, and it's huge!!!"

could just be me. but i'm intrigued by this movie, either way.

Voltron is going to be a PG-13 summer popcorn futuristic action movie, we already know this. Why would they be advertising it as a low budget horror movie set in modern times? Also, why would Voltron be attacking New York city and destroying the statue of liberty? Also, he cleary says "It's alive and its huge!" not "It's a lion and it's huge" you f**king ******s...

 

[dark_b]

what JJ Abrams series are you referring to where at the end of the series nothing big happened?

If you're referring to 'Lost', just go away already. Season 3 of 'Lost', was one of the greatest seasons of a mythology-based show ever. AND ITS NOT OVER YET! You can't complain about being let down by the end that won't happen for 3 more years...

Unless you're a lazy TV viewer who got sucked into the 'its in vogue to say 'Lost' sucks' camp.

In that case, go watch 'Three and a Half Men' or some crap like that. It will consistently disappoint you every week in addition to the years-off finale you have cooked up in your head where Charlie Sheen does something wacky... but it could have been wackier.

come to me and tell me this in the face t:

As bad as I want to see a Voltron movie, it's a bit too convenient to tag a teaser of it to Transformers; I wouldn't buy that happening.

I'd like if it were Godzilla...Out with the Emmerich, in with the Abrams.

it sounds like he says "it's a lion, it's huge!" not "it's a lion, and it's huge!"

why would he say it's alive, and it's huge? that makes no sense. of course it's alive, it just blew stuff up... why would he say that it's alive?

and, apparently, he doesn't say it so 'clearly', if so many people aren't sure what they heard him say.

it's not terribly nice to call people f**king ******s. i've seen people banned for less. there's no need to be a butthole about a movie preview.

 

[Gilpesh]

Alright. He called you a name based on a little evidence of your train of thought. You got Voltron from a guy on the street running for his life and a bunch of unidentified roars. Not only that, you seem to disregard the information about Voltron being a summer popcorn flick and this teaser has said January release date, if that is even a release date.

So I think with your giant leap based on a few scraps of information gently cherry picked from a whole bunch of information, you could cut him a little slack with his leap to the conclusion about your mental faculities.

 

[Jess]

I'm guessing it's just an original project. If it were an adaptation of something that people were already eagerly anticipating they proabably wouldn't need the secrecy. The secrecy is to build the hype to get the original film some publicity.

Again, just a theory.

The "why would he say that" argument is irrelevant when you stop the consider the fact that he's running for his ****ing life. He's not going to make coherent sentences. And yes, for the last ****ing time, he does not say lion.

 

[CFE]

I know this isn't what the project is at all...but what if Abrams was doing a "Jack Kirby's New Gods" movie?

Oh, that would be so f**kin' awesome.

Many believe slusho.jp has something to do with the movie. But the registration info doesn't make it look like it is, dunno. The big thing is that it was registered on June 27th, which is a few days before Tranformers even was released. So this guy had to know about the Slusho T-shirt in the trailer.

[Gilpesh]

Yeah. I went there and looked for all of five seconds before going, "This is nothing... but pretty effed up."

 

[BobJM]

If the Ethan Haas sites prove to be something completely separate from Cloverfield, half of the film's appeal will be gone.

Wikipedia (I know its not that reliable, but whatever) is calling the site an online game, with no relation to the film.

Plus, without the Haas sites, there goes the Chutlu theories...

 

[Gilpesh]

I would be fine with it not being Cthulhu. Cause... that limits the movie and ruins a big character in mythology.

 

[BobJM]

I'm just saying that everyone was getting hyped up about a movie that has nothing to do with the sites that was hooking everyone's interests.

Just, at this moment, its a bit of a letdown.

yeah but NOTHING ever said hey these sites have something to do with the "cloverfiled" movie. people just assumed that it did and then they were wrong. thats their fault for getting so excited about it.

 

[Spidey Lover 10]

I'm wondering that too...

me too...

 

[SuperHeroHype]

Yeah. I went there and looked for all of five seconds before going, "This is nothing... but pretty effed up."

You need to read the company's history. It talks about something found in the sea that grew something into the size of a whale.

 

[user123456789]

wow Mirko must be hella hyped for this movie to be posting in this thread like this

i've never seen you more active t:

 

[Castlewood]

So it's NOT Chutulu.

That's interesting.

Upon further review of the official High-Def trailer on Apple, I've jumped on the Cloverfield bandwagon.

I'm pumped.

So now that Ethan Haas is out of the picture, what do we know for SURE? All we know, is what's in the trailer. Isn't that strange? Do we even know if "Cloverfield" is an official name?

Where did the "cloverfield" name come from? Because all I personally know is that it's an untitled movie coming out on 1-18-08.

 

[Jess]

I believe it's just so they have something to referance it. A hudden working title like how The Dark Knight is Rory's First Kiss or Return of the Jedu was Blue Harvest.

 

[demento]

Moriarty of AICN says that internally at the studio, the creature is called "The Parasite," not "Voltron" (puh-leeze!) or "Cthulhu." Granted, Abrams is playing this one very close to the vest, but 'twould seem that this a new and original city stomper.

 

[Gilpesh]

Don't worry demento. People know it is not Voltron and now know it is not Cthulhu.

Well smart people. Just wait five minutes for the "It's alive"/"It's a lion" debate to start again.

EDIT: Someone beat me to it.

 

[demento]

Not worried, just amazed at what some posters are theorizing.

Anyway, if the trailer is any indication, I think it's highly possible that we won't ever get a good look at the beastie in the film. That is, if it sticks with the average terrified citizen w/a camcorder pov...

God I hope so. Really, it's the best way to go because on a $30 million budget, whatever we get would probably be disappointing.
