Jul 5 2007Cloverfield Teaser Trailer
If you decided to fight your instinctual love for giant robots and avoided Transformers over the holiday, you not only missed an illogical story--you missed the Cloverfield teaser!
A cloud of secrecy surrounds the project, with the teaser not even mentioning the title, but it seems to imply a giant, Godzilla-style monster attacking New York. And I'll be quite honest, after all the roaring and massive destruction of property seen above, I'm going to be pretty pissed if it's not a colossal monster. It would be like showing me a coffin and a girl with a couple holes in her neck and telling me you're not giving me a vampire movie, except Godzilla monsters are much cooler since they're not drenched in strange goth kid mystique.
Unfortunately, with J.J. Abrams producing and a Lost writer as scribe, the movie will probably last three seasons beyond your caring.
If the above link goes down, or for a differently angled bootlegger's take, try this.
EDIT: I fixed my spelling.
Also, Paramount seems to have eliminated all traces of this trailer. Comment if you can find it still existing somewhere.

It seems that they have taken every version of the trailer down from youtube and everywhere else... apparently they don't like their movie getting promotion for some reason.

I went to see Transformers on the 4th and this trailer came on. It looks pretty cool. I kind of hope they shoot the whole movie like they did with the trailer.

If it's anything like "The Host," I'm seeing it for sure.

It's a shame that Transformers SUCKED so badly, but at least I got to see this trailer.

LOST writer? Screw Lost. Drew Goddard was better at penning Buffy & Angel.

LOST and Buffy can coincide in peace.

How retarded. Let's be hush hush and secretive, and make a teaser trailer for it, to play before the biggest blockbuster of the year.
a movie shot from the point of view of some jerk offs, shot entirely on handycam, with JJ Abrams involved.. sounds Craptastic.

i don't know... but it gave me the same feeling that i felt when i saw jurrasic park when i was 9 years old.
you'd think getting older would make me wiser... but no. i still think monsters are going to eat me up in my sleep.
