   The title at this time is schrouded in secrecy. I, being a devoted Godzilla fan, know that this IS NOT a Godzilla movie. The next Godzilla film (Godzilla To The Max -3D) will not be released until 2009. It is probably some sort of giant reptilian creature that destroys New York City. From the look of the teaser trailer, it looks good. Everybody should just be patient and wait for the surprise as "1-28-08" draws near. We will all find out soon enough.

   This type of promotion reminds me of the ID4 promo's in the mid 1990's, it sold me then - this has sold me now. Personally, I think the less you know the more exciting it is when you see it.

   It has the complete opposite effect for me. I've seen the trailer twice, hit few websites to find some info. Found nothing, and have lost interest. To me it looks like another New York apocalypse movie, and I have tired of those. So far, there hasn't been enough for me to become interested, no intrigue.

   Wow, Ralph, if you would of actually read anything on this you would of realized that the movie comes out on 01-18-08. Not 01-28-08. Good going!

   My dad friend went to the movie festival in san diego and talked to the director. there is a website and im trying to call my dad to find out what it is. But the director said its a monster movie and he also said america needs its own monster because king kong isnt that great of a monster lol. hahaha cuz we all know in real life godzilla would just step on king kong lol

   For real...it's either a Godzilla, a Gamera Movie or.....remember that cartoon from Japan back in the late 70'-80's Gai King; The Space Dragon...yeah it's him and the crew they crash to earth while fighting some other robot monster.
   
   Thats some food for thought !

   Okay...let's lay some things to rest right off the bat. This movie is in no way shape or form a Godzilla movie. For those who still insist on this, I beg you to watch the trailer again, or even look at the movie poster. Although Whitey took the usuall aproach, he did have one real point. There is two of them, and yes they are fighting, sorry... notice the claw marks in the statue of liberty and in the building to the left...
   second: the movie is shoot in real time. It's kinda of pointless at times and leaves you to wonder why these people are still filming? At one point a charecter justifies all of this towards the end by making the comment "We're gonna get like a billion hits on Youtube for this" I kid you not. If you need more proof on this go to 1-18-08.com and notices the time stamp bettween the going away party till the national guard shows up. 90 + minutes of gigling shots, yeah!!!
   third and most certaintly last, the fake working titles are driving me insane, the fn' movie is called "1-18-08" that's it....get pissed I don't care, it's a damn movie that takes place on that day, hell...J.J. even sugested premiering it @ the exact damn time the movie starts. So what's up with all the other title names
   cloverfield
   colossis, not MONSTROUS, jesus h. where did you people com up with that
   chesse
   slusho
   overnight
   there all clues to the movie, aka look into it people. Like for instance, OVERNIGHT, because the damn film takes place overnight. ohhhhhhhh ahhhh!!!
   the rest you just have to wait to see to fiqure out, and mainly because I think it's to stupid and pontless to point out.
   So how do I know all of this useless infromation about a movie that refuses to show people what its about becuase it indeed sucks, well I can tell you this I'm not a friend of someones dad who went to a festival and meet the director, no...I was just some poor stiff who had to watch and tweek certain parts of this wonderfull film. And what you are all doing is particapating in a marketing scheme developled by the distrubitors of this film. Hell who knows maybe this whole blog was just another turn on the "CloverField" road to success. uh...no.

1. adam Says:
   August 21st, 2007 at 18:10

   August 30th, 2007 at 17:15

   i don`t know what the movie is about. but if i were to take a wild guess, i would say it is a GIANT RAT!! what else would attack NEW YORK?!(ha,ha).

1. Zimmimar Says:
   August 30th, 2007 at 21:23

   you know looking at the claw marks and the way the 2 buildings are trashed next to the water line it kinda reminds me of some if the cthulhu images from h.p. lovecraft

   has any one listened to the guy right when they get on the street that says the monster is a giant lion? its on the initial rob trailer about 4 seconds before liberty's head lands in the street

   whatever it is it seems like it will be good. for some reason i always thought running with a camcorder to give the real time effect is so cool. i cant wait.. thanks for the info

   Look up bloop on wikipedia and find the roar, play at the same time.
   The bloop was recorded near the coodinates of R'lyeh, Cthulhu's prison/city. So i'm guessing this is going to be Cthulhu.

   dude, jeremy! go on Youtube and click on the first trailer and go on the right scrolling list and click on the one with a pic of a guy in a white t shirt. he will explain to u that it is NOT a lion. The guy in the trailer said " I saw it! It's alive, it's huge! if u think that it is wrong, listen again! i mean, J.J. said it is a monster that no one has EVER seen before! so why would it possibly be a lion?! Well all i know is that J.J. is a very secret person and we will just wait til the movie comes out.... :P

1. Adison Says:

   oh one more thing. it's not godzilla. anyone who thinks that... get over it. godzilla's already attacked new york in a film anyway. godzilla taking vengence? yeah what else would he do? exatly the same thing he did. not too much fun. not to mention, i confirmed that the next godzilla is out 2009, and the studio has no rights to it. sorry godzilla is out.

1. Scribner Says:
   September 10th, 2007 at 13:50

   Ok, I've been reserching this thing since I saw the trailer. Here's what I know, on www.01-18-08.com there are five pictures (for now). If you wait on the site for exactly six minutes you'll hear the roar that's in the trailer. It'll scare the crap out of you the first time you hear it, especially if it's four in the morning... don't ask. Also, if you look in the woman's hair on the photo where there's two girls that look like their crying you'll notice something that kinda looks like a demon to me. If you click on the pictures and shake them around enough they'll turn over and stuff is written on two of them, which for now seems sorta insignificant. If you watch the trailer you'll notice a guy wearing a "Slusho" shirt, www.slusho.jp is the only site that's confirmed to be connected to the movie so far. It has a weird story about how Slusho came about which I'm sure is important but I don't know how so far. You can mix up flavors of the Slusho drink which also could be important when more information is revealed I think. Also there is something dealing with the number six in this whole thing (six eggs on the first of the site, six minutes until the roar on 01-18-08.com, six flavors, "you can't drink just six," 666? maybe? just a tiny theory). Every other site (abz3293.com, ethanhaaswasright.com, etc.) has been denounced from having anything to do with the film. Also in the trailer you'll notice that on the news cast it's 63 degrees out, a little odd considering it's mid January in New York City, not the warmest time of year. Another clue somewhere maybe? I don't know, if anyone hears anything else please let me know... thanks! -M

   The slusho site speaks of a secret ingrediant a woman went off to find for her beverage making ingrediants.. She went to see to find them and was lost. Her son took over the buisness and gave it to his cousin becuaeit was too hard to bear.. He became an ocena scientist and he and his team discovered on the depths of the ocean floor a new ingrediant. He had a dream he was a tiny fish and a whale told him to drink the new ingrdiant and he did and grew into a enormous whale..
   
   Monster = Equals crazy mutated Enormous whale

   Has anyone checked out the movies website 01-18-08.com. If you just let the site site and don't refresh to flip the pictures, after about 6 mins you can hear the "monster's" roar.

1. J.GilesK. Says:
   September 23rd, 2007 at 17:51

   Let the fu*%ing pandamonium begin. My god!!! I haven't seen so many people go so compleatly ape sh%$ over something so stupid in my entire life. First off every body J.J Abrams only produced this movie. He did not write it!!! Drew Goddard did, so please step away from any idea that this is going to be one long drawn out Lost episode that makes no sense....because it is! I read somewhere that some kid belived "The Monster" Was a sleeping alien that burst out of the ground causing a gas pipe to break, thus causing the huge explsion in the trailer. Wow...youre not even close. Ever wonder what the hell all those flying projectiles were... or why when they get to a ceratin part in the sky they seem to seperate? Second of, you need to take all the pieces and put them together. The second monster slams into liberty island before crashing thru the sky line. Now in the trailer there is a gap between the first roar and the news report of the supossive earthquake. once on the roof the explosion happens. Thus entering the second.
   If you really want to play havoc with your brain go to slusho.jp and click on the history link. once there put your cursor over the fish or the horse or even the two japanese characters and see what there thinking. Hammer, cheese, potholder. Belive it or not this all means something pretty important in the movie. For every chacter in this movie has a pretty screwed up side story, these websites will pop up more and more as the weeks progress. Anybody want to take a quess at which character in the trailer happens to be related to Ganu Yoshida? You would be suprized. Let's just say this Slusho stuff is not a good thing. And oh yeah, everyone dies!!!!! I'm so sorry but it's true.

   No matter what the movie is about, this the way more movies should be promoted....create a little mystery and get people talking. It seems like every other movie that comes out puts the only exciting or funny parts in the preview and when you watch the movie, you realize you would have been better off just watching preview and callin' it a day. I'm not big into monster-ish movies, but because these clues have me hooked, I'm gonna go see it!

   Why is everyone wasting their godforsaken time speculating about this movie??? Who the f cares what type of monster it is or better yet, why it inevitably rips the head off of the statue of liberty (cause that's original). This will end up being one more film that fails to stand up on its own merit hence the reason to build all the unnecessary hype prior to the release date. Think about it.

1. joshua warren Says:
   December 14th, 2007 at 22:56

   look my understanding is a single monster possibly two a deamon sea creature like a whale squid and diablo all in one with parasites that drop and go eat people or at least bite them causing the people to get infected and die a horrible death either a aliean deamon comes as the second monster and the whale monster comes to kill the alien which would probably be it and you wont see to much of any monster except the parasites will be a decent movie a sequal would rock but the fact remains the same godzilla could kick the shit out of it or in fact both and so the new american monster's fail to compare geesh why cant we have a hybrid version of godzilla? lol

1. shawneph96 Says:
   December 16th, 2007 at 02:39

   Well from what I understand the monster is known as Cthulhu. It is a mix between a squid and something else. It is green, has wings, claws, and a squid head. and that thing about the women mutating or whatever, well the cthulhu has folowers called Cthulhi, they have a physical simility with Cthulhu himself, but are of far smaller size. So in the movie, i'm guessing cthulhu mutates people into his followers. thus for making cthulhu a parasite. If u want to read up on cthulhu then visit this website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu. and if you want some script from the film visit this website below.

   1) Why is the Statue of Liberty's head launched from downtown? Was it dragged ashore for effect?
   2) It's not a lion- he says "It's alive!" not "It's a lion!"
   3) Why does it burst into flames when it impacts a glass building?
   4) What about the notation- Area 477, formerly known as Central Park? How much time does this movie cover?
   5) Why are so many people hooked on this movie and theories when, from the looks of things, they should spend more time working on their spelling, grammar and typing skills?

   So I read in one of these posts (and elsewhere) that the 'brilliant' JJ Abrams things that America needs its own monster because King Kong was lame. King Kong was the ultimate popcorn flick back in '33, and holds up pretty well today as an entertaining flick. This 'Cloverfield', on the other hand, seems to like a splicing together of Godzilla, footage from 9/11, and an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog shoot gone bad. I'm betting that people will note this movie more for its pre-release hype than the actual film. As for me, bring on the summer - esp. The Dark Knight... lots of fun stuff coming out then.

   Hopefully the Predators are watching the planet when this thing starts attacking......cant have this thing tear up their "pets" (us).
   That would be an interesting battle!

   This guy who remains anonamous(bad grammer sorry),saw a screening of Cloverfield that had low special effects and music(it was a test screening)and wrote out the entire movie.People dont know if it is real or fake yet but it is just "alleged". Anyways, SPOILER WARNING:if you read past this it may ruin your Cloverfield movie expirience.
   
   I can explain a few things people may be confused about.
   
   1.Rob Hawkins is going to Japan to work for Tagruato, an underwater mining company. The company(you can find this info on www.cloverfieldclues.com) has made a "discovery" and it turned into an "accident". So that narrows it down to an ancient underwater creature or an alien.
   
   2.There are creatures that come from the monster and when they bite they give their victim an infection that makes them expand and explode, hatching new creatures. If you listen to the newest trailer you can hear a lady yelling,"We have a bite, we have a bite!!".So that explains the friend of the main characters exploding.
   
   3.Everyone dies from I can tell. The big finale is a helicopter scene with Rob and Beth embracing with the monster approaching them. I cannot tell you what the monster looks like because I dont want to spoil the suprise, sorry.

   Ok first of all if you watch the preview on tv and you pause it when they show the monster walking by some buildings it looks like it would be godzilla. They have to do something to make up for the stupid american one i think it is godzilla.

   January 17th, 2008 at 10:19

   I just saw the movie, and it's great. I don't know when it comes out in your area of the world, but it came out today in AUS. I'm not telling you anything, though, except that the monster is NOT Godzilla, or a lion, or a big rat. It is something completely different.
   
   There's exploding people, small, s**t scary little monsters and everything. If you're worried that you'll be disappointed, you wont be (except for one thing: It doesnt tell you where it came from, what happens to people who are bitten, how it got in manhattan and if it gets killed).
   
   You'll just have to see it to know the rest :)

   I just saw the movie a couple hours ago. I haven't seen a movie that bad in a long time, If you like to be left hanging with no idea about what is happening in the big picture. Go see it. It's pure CRAP!!!

   Oh my god thought the batterys would never run out on the home movie. I thought the EVER READY RABBIT was filming this thing.
   I love a good monster movie but this stunk. Come on you can do better then this. The brief moment we saw the monster was great. But we took a beating and more beating enough of the Blair Witch thing. How about a good old monster movie. The battery just never died but the movie did.

1. V. Lipske Says:

   Ithought it was a good movie. Yeah, The first 20 minutes are REALLY annoying because of the shaky camera bit, but it's a scary movie and it makes you feel tense like you are running around in New York. There are a lot of questions you're left with and the dialogue isn't great but it makes you feel like youre right in the middle of 911 meets Godzilla. I was screaming like a banshee towards the end of the movie. worthwhile over all. different.
