Cloverfield

[athornforeveryh]

I searched this forum for a thread on the mysterious teaser trailer shown during the previews for Transformers. I my self have not see this myself (hoping to see it this weekend sometime in between work). All we know now is that it's going to be produced by J.J. Abrams, directed by Matt Reeves, and is written by Drew Goddard. Starring Michael Stahl-David (The Black Donnellys), Odet Jasmin, Mike Vogel (Poseidon, Grind, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Lizzy Kaplan (The Class, Mean Girls). I've read that they have been given $30 million and most of it will be shot in the home movie / Blair Witch kind of way.

I asked my brother if he had gotten to see it and the first thing he said he thought of was Godzilla. Are they actually going to pretend that the first American Godzilla was never even made and make it worthwhile to see? Or re they just trying to create a big internet fanbase just to have a flop?

Has anybody else heard anything?

In an effort to drum up more interest in the mysterious Cloverfield, two websites have been launched. One called http://www.ethanhaaswasright.com/ and the other called http://ethanhaaswaswrong.blogspot.com/.

The former has some weird puzzles that provide cryptic answers when solved. The latter is a poorly-written "blog" debunking the teachings of Ethan Haas as "foolish nonsense." One could say similar things about this whole marketing campaign. In fact, someone already is: http://www.ethanhaaswaswrong.com/.

Hollywood Reporter has a little more information on the project. The film supposedly takes place during a monster attack on New York City, as told from the point of view of a small group of survivors (who seem to have a consumer-quality camera that they use to tell the story with). When casting, no scripts were sent out, actors were merely asked if they wanted to be in a J.J. Abrams film or not (ah the joys of being a "name"). The cast is made up mostly of unknowns including Michael Stahl-David (The Black Donnellys), Odet Jasmin, Mike Vogel (Supercross) and Lizzy Kaplan (The Class).
