There’s been a lot of internet buzz about a JJ Abrams monster movie going under the working title of Cloverfield. This film has been kept a major secret and nobody had heard of it before a teaser trailer was screened before showings of Transformers in the States.
No official trailer could be found online… until now. Some camera-armed super-pirate has caught it and uploaded it onto YouTube for all to enjoy. The quality is obviously pretty poor, but the effect still comes across. Check out the trailer below (and hurry before it’s taken down)
This top-secret hype building is marketing at its best and already me and the rest of the internet excited about what the hell this film could turn out to be. Rumour has it that the entire film will be shot in the Blair-Witch handy-cam method that is employed in the trailer, but I personally think that these rumours are as substantial as a silent fart. The technique is much more suited to this teaser trailer.
AICN are reporting that the as yet untitled film will be directed and written by Abrams collaborators Matt Reeves and Drew Godard respectively. According to the trailer, we can expect it to hit cinemas on the 18th January 2008. Get excited.
**UPDATE** Paramount got to it and the trailer has been taken down.
**MORE UPDATES** It’s back! Can’t keep those pirates down. Click below.
