New Cloverfield Pic

A new photograph of people running in the streets has been posted on 1-18-08.com, the official site for the mysterious J.J. Abrams monster movie coming to theaters on that date. The picture really isn't very exciting, but to cash in on the hype for Cloverfield, I'm blogging about this movie.

So is it Godzilla? I don't think so, but it's still a possibility. Apparently, those rumors keep getting shot down, but there is so much mystery around this film that you can never be sure.

Regardless, whatever it is, J.J. Abrams (who is producing, not directing) is essentially making life harder for himself. The marketing approach for this movie is great so far, but as we saw with Snakes on a Plane, Internet hype isn't enough to make a movie bankable. More importantly, with the buzz so strong, he's going to have to deliver one kick-ass movie to meet expectations.

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.
