Silent Bob Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 JJ Abrams' next big project is creating quite a buzz online thanks to an intriguing trailer that came before Transformers (see it here). Though it obviously seems to be some kinda of realistic monster movie, so far Paramount has not released a synopsis or even a title for the film (it's usually referred to by its release date, or the fake working title "Cloverfield"). Rumors have been flying around about the film, ranging from theories about it being a new Godzilla remake, to a Lost-related project, to some sort of HP Lovecraft movie - none of them have been confirmed and most of them seem unlikely. Two websites have been found connected to the project. The first is www.1-18-08.com which features two timestamped photographs and nothing else (a few people insist on seeing a "demon" in the negative space between the two women in closeup, but I think that's just be coincidence) The second seems to be www.slusho.jp (Slusho is supposedly the other working title for the film) though what that site could possibly have to do with anything is anybody's guess but the "history" of the company certainly has some more interesting hints than you'd expect. Abrams has hinted that there are more websites for people to "find" that will give out more information. There's also the case of Ethan Haas. The Ethan Haas websites have been linked to Cloverfield because they were taken off of youtube by Paramount at the same time that they purged it of Cloverfield teasers. JJ Abrams has told AICN that Ethan Haas is unrelated to Cloverfield, but it's possible he's just trying to increase the mystery. The puzzle of Ethan Haas is incredibly complex and spans quite a few sites, some of which may be unofficial or just plain fake. But try looking around at www.ethanhaaswasright.com (I've made it through all the puzzles, the final reward is a password, it puts you on a mailing list and asks you to wait for an important date - August 1st) and ethanhaaswaswrong. Definitely some interesting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Yeah leave it to the producer of Lost to get us confused as fuck before the movie even comes out. The man is fucking brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Kaniggit Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 That trailer played before the Transformers, it left the theater stunned and screaming at the screen. I love LOST! JJ Abrams rules, anything he is writing is worth checking out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 If this poster is real (and it sure looks like it) it seems that the actual title of the mysterious JJ Abrams-produced movie is "Monstrous". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Well we've solved that mystery, now what the hell is it about. chances that the movie is as freaky as the trailer? Slim to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonfire Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Yeah the trailer kicked ass. But i have a feeling it was so good that it might make the movie look much better than it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Kaniggit Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 There is a new trailer out go to this link http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/11808/ All I am going to say it shows your more havoc and destruction, but you still have no idea what is causing it! CHECK IT OUT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfire Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Looks fuckin sweet actually. Although im hoping the whole movie wont be shot in that handycam style. While it would be an interesting take on the disaster/monster movie it has the potential to be incredibly annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jont Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Looks like it could be interesting, depending on how serious it takes itself. I don't mind the shaky cam, right now I'm worried about the acting. "Oh my god did you see that?" can get boring after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Cap'n Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Just looked at that spoiler pic. Pretty cool I guess. It's concept art so it might not be the final thing, but if you don't wanna spoil it... DON'T LOOK. Now I'm kinda regretting looking at it...

Signal08 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Im pretty sure it is going to look completely different. It is most likely going to be 'almost hard to believe' b/c Im sure they are going for a far fetched what if this ever happened approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
