Man sometimes I really hate PC's.. I can't play the QT on my work laptop.. keeps giving me the Q with a ? mark over it.. I'm sure it's some sort of codec.. but of course it doesn't tell you what you need.. I'll have to look at this when I get home on my PC or IMac.

I saw this trailer with "Beowulf" yesterday.  This movie looks like it's going to rock!

Check put JJ's next film!

Could be a fun "scary" movie, just hope the whole thing wasn't shot with a hand held camera like "Blair Witch"

So is that the name now... Cloverfield.. I know that was suppose to be the code name but didn't hear it was the official title.

Looks good.. have to see it on the big screen... it's tough to watch in a little you tube video.

Yep, they yanked it, but it's also on the Cloverfield website.

I saw the trailer the other day when I saw Beowulf as well, looks like it will be an interesting movie. Looking forward to it.

Here's five minutes of Cloverfield... takes a while to load if the site is super busy. It looks awesome but the shaking camera is going to get old fast.

Man; I have GOT to see this movie!!! So what do y'all think this is- a Godzilla type monster movie, an alien invasion movie, or something else?

J.J. said that it is the "American Godzilla" movie. He was quoted as saying that Japan has the Godzilla movies and the Americans needed one also.

Ripley: Ash. Any suggestions from you or Mother?
Ash: No, we're still collating.
Ripley: [Laughing in disbelief] You're what? You're still collating? I find that hard to believe.

And don't forget.  The first "Star Trek" movie trailer is suppose to be in front of this movie.  So only about a month to wait for that too!

Monster Will Get Camera Time

On one of our past shows we did a story on the upcoming J.J. Abrams produced film with the codename "Cloverfield" and co-host Michael R. Mennenga speculated on whether or not moviegoers will actually get to see the monster. That same question was starting to get asked by a lot of people once the official trailer was released since the film is shot using a hand-held camcorder style video camera from the perspective of a group of young people attending a party.

Their party, as well as the entire city of New York, get ripped apart by this mega-monster that, in the trailer, is never seen but only heard. The monster's vocal sounds reminds one of another famous monster - Godzilla.

Well, on whether or not the monster is seen in the film, fears of the latter have been laid to rest from "Cloverfield" director Matt Reeves. During his press junket to promote the movie he had this to say concerning the monster's debut:

"People who have seen the trailer might think we are using this style to avoid seeing the monster, but that is definitely not what we're doing. We're using it to build dread and anticipation," commented Reeves. "But in this movie, you do see a lot. At the end of the day, it still has that huge scale, it's just that it's shot from this point of view. So you're going to see the monster, you're going to see huge-scale destruction, you're going to see a lot of crazy stuff!"

"Cloverfied," aka "01-18-08″ will premiere in theaters on January 18, 2007.

I have no doubt we will see plenty of the monster.  People can take some suspense for awhile but ultimately want some sort of pay off.
