What is this about?

[Kerrigan]

Godzira

[Dakarʒ]

It's based on a H.G. Lovecraft novel, and it's code-named Cloverleaf.

if the internet scuttlebutt is to be believed.

[Kerrigan]

I thought it was "Cloverfield"

Untitled J.J. Abrams Project (2008)

[robshoy]

From what I've heard (which is quite a bit), it's a psychological thriller first, monster movie second. The trick isn't on making the character go mad though, it's on the audience. Rumor has it, you never see the monster in the entire movie. That's a very Hitchcocky thing to do. He always said that it's scarier for the mind not not to see something, because the mind automatically puts in the scariest thing for that person.

My mistake.

[MacosNerd]

Wow that looks cool, but looks like we have to wait a little while before it hits the theaters.

This is how you use the spoiler tag

Wow, this could be amazing if that holds true…

It'll get crucified by the public if it does.

[TheoCryst]

Holy hell, that could be really really good.

[robshoy]

Ahem, my bad. x_x Didn't know about the spoiler tag.

[Kerrigan]

It's cool. maybe what you said wasn't even a spoiler. carry on

[IceEnclosure]

I said no such thing.

[RAILhead]

It's based of off Lovecraft's Cthulhu legend. What you're seeing in the previews are the "spawn of the stars".

[SirCastor]

I saw this trailer when I went to see Transformers. I want to see it, but I doubt my wife will go with me...

[KeriVit]

The day I WISH a new president would be inaugurated....

PLEASE!!!!

Sorry. the movie looks good too.

[Visnaut]

The trailer looked alright in terms of the effects and building suspense.

But hell, if there's anything I hate more than an entire movie shot in Blair Witch shaky cam, it's J J Abrams' style of mystery: always more questions, scarcely any answers.

I f'in hate it, and I avoid any of his shows. Not seeing the "monster" the whole way through the movie? Completely plausible, judging by his previous work...

I'm going to wait until my friends have seen this one, and if they say the movie has a satisfying conclusion, then I might see it.

[Lava Lamp Freak]

[Dakarʒ]

It's actually named Colossus, however.

[rickey939]

I'm already scatching my head on this one.

[Cipher13]

HP Lovecraft is legendary, and I very highly doubt this will live up to him.

This movie better have some serious game if they want to take on the Cthulu mythos.

(That's if this is indeed based thereupon...)

[Dork.]

Not sure if I'm going to see this one, even though the Cthulhu mythos is all over the Internet, and I probably know most of it already. I just don't go for that type of film.

 

And Jan 18 is my birthday. No fooling! Don't tell besson3c, I'd like to keep it our little secret!

[PB2K]

it will involve a giant bad robot

[ajprice]

Names I've seen or heard of so far: 011808, Cloverfield, The Cloverfield Project, Parasite, Monstrous, Colossus. Any more for any more?

[MOTHERWELL]

Usually January is crappy movie month.

[Cthulhu]

H. P. Lovecraft.

I can neither confirm nor deny I have my own movie. I bet it's driving you insane, isn't it?

[Dakarʒ]

Heh, that post is up to two mistakes now.

[Rumor]

We share the same b-day. I don't know why I'm putting this in /spoiler mode. But I kinda like it.

"Slusho" is also a name for it, I think.

I'm very intrigued by the trailer. Looks very interesting.

[Rumor]

I heard it was going to be named, "Oh crap, a big ass thing is coming to step on us."

That may just be an unsubstaniated rumor though.

Penny Arcade! - The Last Christmas

[JohnM15141]

Yep, this has all the earmarks of Gojira!

The reference to japan: "have a good time in Japan, Rob!"

and my Japanese acquaintances immediatly said "Gojira" when they heard that monster sound!

It looks like another Godzilla movie with a modern spin, I can't wait, and...

I hope this time its good!

[Angelo78]

For some odd reason that movie poster reminds me of the video game Rampage.

Reminds me of this .

[TailsToo]

I hope they include the big werewolf!

[xi_hyperon]

It looks good. Having dug around on the Internets, though, I'm not yet convinced it's based off of the Cthulhu mythos (we've got one teaser, and a 100 different opinions floating on the web about wtf the monster is).

Heh.

[ajprice]

?

[Atomic Rooster]

Believe it or not it's a STAR TREK prequel with two actors playing Spock. The only original character as the others are not born yet.

All the names that are mentioned here have been denied. It was in today's Toronto Star.

EDIT: Sorry, only Cloverleaf was denied.

[Dakarʒ]

[Graviton]

I'm hoping it's Cthulhu.

The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man would be equally cool though.

[moonmonkey]

How the hell did they film that???

[RAILhead]

Photoshop.

[osiris]

I'd like to see this monster, perhaps have a word with it.
I'm not going to be bought so easily by cool CG anymore.
