Latest Cloverfield clues

These may not be "new" and they may not even be true, but I wanted to cover a couple of the theories that have been tossed around lately. As I'm not in the rumor business, I am too lazy to track down how substantiated these things are, but...

On Cloverfield being Godzilla...
Everything I hear continues to suggest that Godzilla is not the monster in the movie. After all, the company that owns Godzilla is not the company making Cloverfield. Legally, that's a problem. Also, rumors continue to circulate around other monsters, and not necessarily just one. Producer J.J. Abrams has also apparently confirmed that the movie is not a remake.

On Cloverfield having more than one monster...
It sounds like this could be a possibility. Some have rumored that Cloverfield will be about three biblical monsters, Behemoth on land, Leviathan in the sea, and Ziz in the air. Could it be based on the old arcade game Rampage? Unlikely, but you never know.

On Cloverfield being about Cthulhu, from the mind of H. P. Lovecraft
While I've never read his book(s), apparently everything that has been suggested bears no resemblance to Lovecraft's monster.

There's a lot more, but I got bored of writing this post. If you have any other Cloverfield rumors or smack downs, post them here!

Cloverfield trailer online; Cloverfield pics from the trailer

The Cloverfield teaser trailer (also known as the 1-18-08 teaser trailer or the Untitled J.J. Abrams teaser trailer) is now online - watch the movie trailer now. It's just as cool the second time around as it was in Transformers. Still very little is known, but watching it online you can pick up a little more dialogue, like "I saw it. It's huge!"

Below are some pictures I've grabbed from the Cloverfield teaser trailer:

Some hot, skanky girl dances away, thinking she is going to get some action. Oh, she's going to get some action all right, but it may be too big to handle.

This even hotter girl looks vaguely familiar, though she also looks like a younger, hotter version of Teri Hatcher. She speaks to the camera, also wanting a piece.

Here's the life of the party. Ben is his name, I think. Good looking guy, for a guy. How come in the movies guys like this only have good looking girls as friends, and more friends than I've ever had put together?

Now it gets good. What appeared to be a normal party suddenly goes awry as the lights go out and the Earth shakes.

Everyone races to the roof just in time to see the middle of New York go up in a giant fireball. Even from where they are, they aren't safe as hellfire rains down upon them.

This good looking girl says, "Bring it on!" only not really. Hopefully she clears out fast enough to avoid the rolling head of death, a.k.a. the Statue of Liberty.

Those who don't like the French will be happy to see that the Statue gets decapitated and used as a device of destruction, mayhem and murder.
