Cloverfield
 
Look up a trailer for this, if you've read anything by H.P. Lovecraft explain the relations.

Daxter King 12-08-2007 11:35 AM

Its a brand new monster, not a remake, not a sequel, something new. Anyways, really looking forward to this.

Strike Witch 12-08-2007 01:59 PM

It's fucking Cthulhu.

Ia!

Daxter King 12-08-2007 08:29 PM

Go fall in a well.

Go fall in a well.

Eh? What's with you?

Xavier 12-09-2007 11:52 PM

I've read all of Lovecraft... can't see a link yet (just saw the trailer without sound, I'm at uni)

Strike Witch 12-10-2007 02:03 AM

Well, it's big, green, came from the sea, has creepy viral marketing websites that mention the "Bloop", an unidentified underwater noise that came from a similar latitude and longtitude to R'lyeh...

It seems like a good idea to me...

But to be honest it probably won't.

But it should be.

Mac Sirloin 12-10-2007 11:37 AM

It's never been let on that the monster will be green.

NOT THE GAURENTEE'D MONSTER, but I think it's promising.

Anyway, I am pretty sure DK told you to fall in a well because you're being a wapanese dickhead.

Strike Witch 12-10-2007 01:41 PM

Ia is like, a Cthulhu thing, not a Wapanese thing.

Everything needs tags these days.

And anyway, screw Cthulhu, I want THAT abomination of nature!

Mac Sirloin 12-10-2007 02:40 PM

It should turn out to be Giant Robot, I would totally forgive the guy for making Lost if it was.

Xavier 12-11-2007 05:54 AM

the picture you posted is a fan art from what I've heard...

and IƤ is used to invoke Cthulhu...


Fphtang :p

I think it looks neat.

There were a couple of really cheesy lines in the trailer, but I'll watch it just the same.

As far as Lovecraft relations...Meh. I'm not going to reach that far.

Bullet Magnet 12-11-2007 05:11 PM

The thing did look kind of green, if the back end of that massive thing disappearing behind a building is the thing.

I think it may have brought, or cultivated, some smaller things, I heard something different from the big thing during the trailer.

And is that girl mutating or something? Looked like The Thing.

Actually, it did make a whole lot more sense watching it thinking of Cthulu. But I reckon that Abrams made something new, the American equivalent of Godzilla that's not a primate.

EDIT: Oh, and that picture, fairly sure that's Sin.

Mac Sirloin 12-11-2007 05:55 PM

I read what was essentially someone's description of the film, apparently she explodes and little lizards come out. Gross.

Al the Vykker 12-13-2007 09:19 PM

This looks awesome and being a fan already of J.J. Abrams on LOST the teaser definately caught my attention back in the summer and I can safely say I will be seeing this when it comes out.

Hobo 12-14-2007 12:09 AM

Looks awesome

Nate 12-14-2007 03:21 AM

It would look awesome if it wasn't for the crappy handheld camerawork. I know why they're doing it like that; it's just that I go to movies to be entertained, not to be nauseated by motion sickness.

It's the Curse of Blair Witch!

Bullet Magnet 12-14-2007 05:46 PM

I saw that. Doesn't exactly narrow it down though. It's certainly no Godzilla, I'm fairly sure that thing lacks a tail.

What do you think? Is that a carapace or vestigial wings?

Strike Witch 12-14-2007 07:03 PM

I see legs, like a big two-legged top heavy daemon thing walking to the right.

Holy freaking balls.

Nate 12-23-2007 05:27 PM

That looks like a crappy photoshop job to me.

Bullet Magnet 12-24-2007 11:29 AM

I'd be surprised if a face wasn't visible in a reflection of smoke.

Hobo 12-24-2007 11:54 AM

And Kastere wins again

Strike Witch 01-03-2008 06:51 PM

It's...a giant Tick.

Chezzy 01-03-2008 10:43 PM

I read up on this movie, and it seems it was based on an old game called RAMPAGE. In RAMPAGE you destroy a city as a big monster. One of the levels in the game is called Cloverfield, so they took that on as the name.
Looks like a good film.

Hobo 01-04-2008 01:58 AM

Doubt it. Cheesy.
