New Cloverfield Rumors

[Update] – Check out more of our Cloverfield Coverage!

Ye Olde series of tubes blog Ain’t It Cool has released a new article about Cloverfield’s plot. The article mentions that the information comes from two untested, and thus somewhat unreliable, sources. The article mentions that the trailer we’ve seen was the beginning of the movie, a shortened version of the opening at that. After the trailer the main characters are in a dark corridor, and one of them is a girl whose badly bruised.

Blah blah blah, so on and so forth. I could repeat everything the article mentions here, but honestly, I don’t think it’s significant. Much of the rumors that AICN posted sounds like a blow by blow translation of the Korean Monster movie The Host. Some people survive a monster attack, one of them is seemingly “infected” and they’re quarantined by their government while the monster spouts out some minions and the government fails to stop it. The entire rumor, should be taken as just that, a rumor. Much of the official information we’ve seen says that the opening of the movie is a group of people mulling around a destroyed New York City finding the camera with all of the information. Not much, could have been avoided in the write up, but somewhat important to point out. Another piece of information is that there have been several Myspace accounts set up echoing the characters from the movie, might be fake, but doesn’t appear so. The accounts show more than three main characters like AICN says. Hit the jump for more.

Cloverfield Mystery Solved ?

[Update] – Ok so this post is BS, but we do have tons of clues in our Cloverfield Coverage!

After taking another look at the Cloverfield trailer there are multiple references to animal sounds. “What animal sounds like that?” then a huge explosion occurs with some sort of lion roar. After the crowd runs in fear someone says “I saw it, it’s a lion it’s huge.” In the past people once thought the guy said “it’s alive.” The question is, which one is correct?

Rumors are circulating that Voltron is coming to the big screen. With the major success of Transformers, fans have been clammering for a Voltron film. Is J.J. Abrams a fanboy?

What Cloverfield is and what it isn’t.

[Update] – Check out more of our Cloverfield Coverage!

Yesterday I posted an article about some Cloverfield information, along with a poster with a possible title. Well during the Paramount board at Comic-Con Abrams briefly touched on the subject of the movie. First off, it’s not called Monstrous, but that poster IS indeed the official poster. Secondly, there’s no way that it’s anything but a unique character. It’s not Godzilla, King Kong, Cthulhu, Voltron, Ghostbusters 4, or even Blair Witch 3. Its a unique creature that’s going to be America’s monster movie monster.

So for now we have no name, no pictures of the monster, nothing really new. What we do have is a rumor debunked, and confirmation that it’s not a preexisting creature. If anything new comes out about the movie, I’ll post it here as soon as possible.

A small Cloverfield update

Cloverfield poster

So we have a few new updates on the Cloverfield front lines. First off, that picture that David posted two days ago has resurfaced, this time in focus. In the new picture you can easily see a lot of details that the older picture made difficult. The Statue of Liberty, just like in the teaser trailer, lacks a head. The poster has the same date as Cloverfield, and it sports the Paramount logo. While it’s not entirely confirmed that this is the title or even a poster, it looks very real. The title itself, I gotta say, I like. Monstrous has a very mysterious sense to it, much like all of the marketing that has gone into making the movie. Monstrous suits the movie well.

The official website has released a new picture as well.

Cloverfield

Just like all the others, it’s vague and doesn’t show much, but there is one thing that has been pointed out about the picture. The timestamps between the last few pictures and this one show that the military response is… well too damn fast. The national guard would require the Governor’s order, and an Army response would require the president’s order. The latter is highly unlikely for such a rapid response, with the former being likely, but still likely to take a while, like around 2 hours at the quickest. This suggests one of two things, a flaw with the script or marketing focus, or the government new that a Giant monster was going to attack New York and was slightly ready. Conspiracy theory ahoy!

I’ve got a report that Heroes star Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman, the cop) has a role in the movie. It probably won’t be significant as Grunberg says “It’ll probably be something where no one will be able to tell it’s me,” but he does give some insight on the experience on being on the set. “I actually went to the set the other night, and it was really exciting and cool. The budget is not astronomical. But they’re doing incredible things,” now I would say that this would endorse the claim of a 30 million dollar budget, but I can’t really say it is as half of the budget is used for visual effects and the set would probably be fairly unimpressive on a 15 million dollar budget.

Here I had planned on putting a video of the movie being made, but the video’s been pulled. It had no major significance, just striked me as somewhat interesting. Either way, this is about all the news I have. Tomorrow is the Paramount Comic-Con with Abrams, the Comic-Con website says he’s there for the Star Trek movie, but it also says there might be some surprises. So keep your eyes trained here. I’ll try to post the news, if there is any, as soon as possible.

Cloverfield Poster - cellphone

A guest posted a message on the Unfiction.com forum and is reporting that they saw a poster for the upcoming J.J. Abrams film Cloverfield. Of course it was taken with a cell phone so this could be more viral marketing…

The forum poster said, “I just wanted to let you know about something I saw at a warehouse sale called Frank & Son’s here in Southern California. Basically they sell collectible stuff like cards, comics, toys, etc. It is like a mini convention hall every wed and saturday.

Anyway, I was at a large booth where they sell movie posters. One of the posters there had a snapshot of the statue of liberty overlooking the city of new york. The statue was missing it’s head and at the top in large white letters it said “Monstrous”. The lower right corner had in smaller white letters, 1-18-08.”
