    Alright, if you've seen Transformers, you saw the preview for this movie coming out January 18th, 2008.

    If you have not seen it, here you go.

    http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Cloverfield/video/x2glav_cloverfield-tt

    I have no idea what it is, my best guess is Godzilla but I tend to think that's too obvious. Who knows, it could be...

    GI...GAN...TOR

    Either way, zomg.

    Some info I have:

    It is codenamed "Cloverfield"

    The alien/monster is codenamed "The Parasite"

    That about does it.

    Apparently there's some type of ARG (Alternate Reality Game) going around to promote it, too.

    I think so far, the concept is great. Handheld camera work + a (what looks like) big budget monster movie could very well = greatness. I always thought that'd make for a cool movie concept... seeing it through a character's POV.

    So far I'm excited. But I really hope it's something original and not a remake of something like Godzilla.

    Ever since I saw this trailer, it's been driving me insane trying to figure out what it is. Really. It sucks how much I can't figure it out.

    J.J. Abrams hypes everything up immensely... could be something really lame, or something really cool.

    The movie community was waiting for a trailer for this, then they got it... and now they're waiting for more. Abrams tends to do stuff like that. Now we'll get 20 puzzles before knowing what it is ;)

    The more stuff comes out about this movie, the less I think it's about Godzilla. If you solve all 5 puzzles on ethanhaaswasright.com and watch all the video clips, it really doesn't seem like Godzilla. It comes off as something Biblical almost.

    I'm thinking this won't be a remake/sequel/prequel at all. Something entirely new, which is good because Hollywood hasn't come up with anything original in YEARS.

    Yeah, I have to agree with you on that Nate. I saw a trailer for Underdog today and it made me sad.

    Anyways, for those who don't know, Apple released the teaser IN HD! Seeing it in HD just makes me more excited.

    Not to sound rude, but I love how something so minute has everyone revved up, when it may only be a small promotional clip and not actual movie footage.

    It's more about the mystery of WHAT it is, not about what we saw in a teaser trailer.

    Yes, I know... but it's a nameless movie (well, unless you want to call it "Cloverfield"), with a largely unknown cast, and an unproven director. The only legitimate thing we know about it is the producer... who is capable, and we know he's the brainchild of the project, but we don't know much else.

    Whoever came up with the marketing campaign for this is a genius. Viral marketing at its finest.

    Some people believe it to be a Year Zero movie, because of Trent name-dropping J.J. Abrams as an ideal director for the movie.

    I was gonna post this but you beat me to it, damn. XD Ah well. I found this movie to seem really interesting as well, especially when I looked up on it and found out J.J. Abrams I think is either the director or the writer for the movie. I forget, but it made it sound even more amazing to me when I found that out. Should be awesome.

    Edit: Never mind, I guess on the trailer it says J.J. is the producer. ;P

    Looks like something huge.

    I really hope it's not a remake or another super hero movie, though... maybe it is even the Year Zero movie like Casey said.
