Jul 10 20071-18-08 Trailer Officially Up
After pulling all the bootlegged trailers from YouTube, Paramount has finally decided we're worthy of seeing the trailer to J.J. Abrams' secret project, thus far being referred to as 01-18-08 or Cloverfield. Now that I've finally seen the home video-style footage in high definition, it really makes me hope the rest of the movie is shot this way, and that Bob Saget does funny voices over it.

Can we stop calling him JJ Abrams and just call him "Jabrams?"

I was kinda hoping it would be the HUlk remake and Edward Norton got into a slap fight with the Statue of Liberty

Ohhhh this ones got me. The theories of what the creature is are abound but my conclusion after tons of cyber searching is that Cthulu is coming to kill the world. check the cool marketing strategy at ethanhaaswasright.com

is it just me or did i hear the guy scream "It's a Lion, It's Huge" when they ran onto the street? Maybe they are just looking for ways to recycle the props from narnia.

Marcus if this is in any way Lovecraftian I will be absolutely ecstatic!
6. Marcus - July 10, 2007 1:49 PM
Mcmagic- Pretty sure they say "its alive, its huge".

So does ethanhasswasright.com have anything to do with this?

This is what a trailer should be... don't give away major plot points, thereby ruining the movie, but show enough to make you really interested.
I am officially really interested.

The only way this trailer could make me more adamantly refuse to see this movie is if it included Will Smith or John Travolta.

Voltron, fucking lions.
When did this site confirm something for voltron again?
13. joflo - July 10, 2007 8:11 PM
this scares me like jurassic park did when i was 9. a lot.
14. Vink - July 10, 2007 9:42 PM
lol @ Street Sharks
Biker Mice From Mars!
15. erik - July 10, 2007 10:12 PM
He says "IT'S ALIVE" ... not "lion."
A Voltron movie is the dumbest idea.

THIS FUCKING WEBSITE SUCKS. OLD NEWS, NERDS!

I am interested as well, but what the hell is Abram's deal with unseen monsters?
I bet you anything it'll be like Lost, where they wait forever (in this case, the end of the film) to show you the monster, and it'll be something you'll never expect.
I put my money on a giant package of Depends or a monstrous Juicy Juice box.

You guys need to pull JJ Abrahams balls out of your mouths and realize he is an overhyped hack who hasn't done anything cool since the 3rd episode of 'Lost' when that show started going down the toilet. Is it even still on?

This viral marketing campaign really is fascinating. The Gossip Rag has started a "Clover Watch" to track the latest surrounding the project. Pretty interesting.

Sorry Vink its Battle Toads lol. It aslo reminded me of the Jurrasic park Trailer. Well there taking another crack at the Hulk maybe this is another crack at Godzilla. Or its some sort of Apocolyptic (did I spell that right?) End of the world Jesus is going to kick your ass movie that whould be hot. a Giant Jesus smacking shit up lmao

I thought it was Godzilla at first, and was like "oh God, spare us!" -- but I love that shot of the statue of liberty's head bouncing and coming to a stop. Genius.
22. Cire - July 19, 2007 2:56 AM
It is most definatly not godzilla. Abrams is more creative then to stoop to that level.
23. jeremy - July 20, 2007 8:33 AM
IT'S THE VIDIO GAME " RAMPAGE " monsters fighting in the city, explains maybe why the statue of liberty is thrown away from the explosion!
24. John - July 21, 2007 10:18 PM
I don't care what the hell this movie is about, it's still fucking Godzilla, even if it's not actually Godzilla. As far as I can tell, JJ Abrams only talent is creatively marketing derivative entertainment.

Just a side note for people on the EHWR site. If you click the far left star, you can send an email to Van@.
The email response text is as follows:
=================================
Time is running out!
If this is the first message you have received from me do not give up hope! There are others that have gone before you, the way has been found, you only need to search and you will find the answers you seek. We will all have a role to play. We are getting stronger, our voices will be heard!
I have more of Haas’s writings, I found a secure way to transmit them but I cannot make it easy to find them. There are others who would destroy them if they could.
know the stars of Cassiopeia and you will know when you've reached your destination.
The more I read the more I realize Haas was right………

==========================================================
So the whole Cassiopeia thing is a bit odd. The 5 stars that form the basis of the constellation are as follows: Caph, Schedar, Cih, Ruchbah, and Segin.
But please note Cassiopeia may not be referring to the constellation itself. Although the website tagline is "Look tot he stars for help", Cass is also referenced as the name of a rail service in Japan, a Japanese jazz fusion music group, a brazillian animated film, a character from Battlestar Galactica, etc. So maybe for those who wanna do the leg work, the "stars" of Cass could be taken to mean stars as in celebrity. Who knows.
Good luck with the hunt all.

And for those of us still behind the curve on this one.

Ummm is it me or is the statue of liberty head WAY out of proportion. You could walk inside it, yet it's no bigger than a car. That's a really poor goof for a trailer.
31. Uruwai - July 31, 2007 10:17 AM
OBVIOUSLY will be a prehistoric godzilla monster of some kind.
Can´t you see the scratches on the statue and the buildings?
Godzilla again... yawn...
32. Jake - August 15, 2007 1:41 PM
hold on. u guys are all wrong. It's a heard of midgits that are trying to take over the world. better yet its a ship load of giant native american indians.
