If you went to the movies to see Transformers, then you must have seen the strange trailer of something caught on a home camcorder ... Lots of people, a party & a New York bang! ... What's that all about?
WE got a few things out of it ... It's a JJ Abrams production ... Which is cool! Then it's going to hit theaters on 18.1.2008 ... That's all!
It seems this secret movie project is named -for now- Clovergfield ... But Abrams gives us a bit more hints about how this strange trailer fits in with the whole movie thing:
"I’m very active on this one, as I plan to be on all Bad Robot projects. The only things I’ve been involved with which I haven't really had any creative role were What About Brian and Six Degrees ...
What's up with JJ Abrams' Cloverfield?
— both shows that existed before Bad Robot really opened for business (meaning, when I put my team together),” Abrams said while on vacation in Maine. “Cloverfield is an idea that I had over a year ago, which I sold to Paramount. The point-of-view thing (Handicam) is the whole movie. Scenes from the trailer are in the film. I got a really talented guy (Drew Goddard) to write (we've worked together on Alias and, presently, Lost), and Matt Reeves to direct (we co-created Felicity and he’s pretty damn genius-level). We'll be announcing the real title shortly."
What's your first impression of this project?
