Funny how this topic pops up after what happened here in NYC yesterday too. LOL!!!

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/19/manhattan.explosion.ap/index.html#cnnSTCVideo

But I hate how they advertise a movie that isn't slated to be released for over half a year from now.

EDIT: I noticed something peculiar about that trailer. So I went back and re-watched it. And I figured out what it was. During the middle of the trailer, when they're up on the rooftop as they show the explosion right at City Hall/1 Centre Street and the Woolworth Building (or generally Lower Manhattan), that view can only be seen from New Jersey (westside of the Hudson River) at that angle. Yet, moments later when they run out onto the street, they're only several blocks away from the Woolworth Building! Somehow, they zoomed across the river and into Lower Manhattan in a snap. And miracualously the Woolworth Building is unharmed despite the explosion.

Doesn't look like they filmed this movie in NYC even, the last scene, the street is mock-up with the false green background for the distance. Not to mention that that scene is taking place along Broadway, yet there's a subway station just to the right of the screen for the "F" and "V" trains, which run along 6th Ave. and never cross or run along Broadway!

All in all, trailer looks good. They just somebody to double check their angles and footage before pushing it out. ;-)

It's not, havok. Some guy made that "trailer" by adding footage of the original Godzilla and scenes of "Cloverfield." The movie will have nothing to do with Godzilla.

Proof:

..............weird. They just had it on IMDB saying that it won't be a godzilla movie but that's been taken off the page.

:S

And if I am not mistaken they don't have the rights to Godzilla anyways....though it would be pretty cool if it were Godzilla
:gas: I would love to see him do the hyper beam thing that he does.

We already had a Godzilla in New York City (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5SI-JLEONo), I don't think we need a second one. I mean, what the hell were not Japanese or something.

Oh thats the old one, pretty nice. I liked it, but what ever happens to that baby that survives? And this Cloverfield thing maybe really good and really bad depending on your point of view. From what I see you will probably never see the monster or whatever, because its from a 1st person view point and usually people will run away from a monster and not get a good look at it but me personally it looks different/good.

It's not about Godzilla, to reiterate what others have said...
Here is a quote from the producer JJ Abrams.



"I just want to say, I want a monster movie. I want a great monster movie. I wanted a monster movie for so long. and, I was in Japan over a year ago with my son, who's eight. and all he wanted to do was go to toy stores, so I know he's my son. and we went to all these stores and there were still all these Gozillas everywhere and whats better than Godzilla?

And I thought, we need out own monster, like we need a monster movie And I thought not like King Kong. I love King Kong. King Kong is adorable. And Godzilla is a charming monster. We love Godzilla.

But I wanted something that was just insane, and intense."


--JJ Abrams




Myself among others are hoping it’s Cthulhu*-esque film.
Report on CHUD.com states it involves a big monster, with a bunch of little minion monsters.


Here is a wiki page with a lot of info. (http://cloverfield.despoiler.org)


*In a story by an early 20th century horror writer named HP Lovecraft , it's an ancient sea-dwelling alien god that will one day wake up and destroy humanity.A phonetic pronunciation of Cthulhu, is something along the lines of [cuh-THOO-luh-WHO] with a guttural C. I doubt it though, HPL's work is a little too obscure.

At 1:06 in the newest trailer there is a scene where a pair biosuited doctors/.mil restraining a woman behind a piece of plastic with back lighting... before she explodes(?) ... Looks like some sort of creature must have been gestating in her... a minion monsters perhaps?
