J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield Questions


Recommended Posts

Breaking news: When you pull up the 1-18-08.com website and let it sit for exactly 6 minutes (there is that special number again), you will hear a long roar that sounds like the ones from the trailer. This appears to be why the site was down yesterday. They were adding this roar! If at all possible, could someone record the sound and save it as an audio file, so we don?t have to keep pulling the site up?

I have for you a description of a unseen new sequence from the film you all know as Cloverfield.

You know, the one with the monster?

I can now safely say the teaser is not separate from the film, its part of the beginning which was shown in an abridged fashion for the purpose of the teaser, it's longer in the movie.

The new scene opens with several traumatized survivors, moving through a very dark corridor there's slight cold blue illumination from halogen emergency lighting, a girl in the group is badly beaten up she's bleeding and looks very sickly. The main group is comprised of 3 characters, Rob from the main trailer, the cameraman and a girl, though there may be others.

This scene takes place after the initial attack of "The monster" the scene we all saw in theatres. Rob is taking charge and telling everyone to keep calm, the girl says she doesn't feel so good.

They limp along until US Army soldiers storm in shouting at them, demanding they drop they're weapons, they shout back they're unarmed, there's a lot of commotion, then they're herded briskly up some E.T style scientific tubing into a makeshift aid center, its very dark, threes lots of doctors tending to wounded and military walking about making the scene very busy. "What is that thing?" they ask as they catch their breath, the cryptic answer comes from a soldier "We don't know, but it's winning"

The imagery in this scene is like something after a terrorist bombing. A carcass is wheeled past with his guts hanging out, the cameraman struggles to take in the surroundings.

Rob gets angry with the aggressiveness of the soldiers who now tell them they can't leave, "I'm going out there, if you want to stop me you'll have to shoot me" we gather he's looking for his girlfriend. "I feel really sick" the girl unexpectedly mutters, the camera pans to her, shes looks like shes about to throw up, and curiously is crying blood from her right eye. Someone shouts "She's been bitten!"

Chaos ensues... Scene end. That's all you get, this may be used for promotion and is a possibility for an upcoming trailer.

I'm going to tell everyone what it is. Are you ready?? It's a new version of Gremlins!! That's how they are able to multiply from the same one. It's genius! J.J.'s the man for bringing back our beloved Gremlins. This time they are seriously ****ed off, probably cause Hulk Hogan stole their thunder in Gremlins 2. :-p

It's been a while since Paramount's official website for 1-18-08 has received an update, but now there is a new photo of a Japanese chef holding something that looks like a pizza. If you hold the pic and move your mouse back and forth it will turn over and you'll get a recipe written in Japanese which is roughly translated as follows:

Thank you for checking us out! We are introducing this week's tasty one dish. Make sure you eat it cold!

* Skinless chicken breast - 2, cut in halves

* Sōmen noodles - 10 oz.

* Watercress - 1/2 cup cut into small strips

* Turnip - 1/2 cup, thinly sliced

* Shiitake Mushrooms - 1/2 cup

* Chicken stock - 1/3 cup

* Sake - 2 tbsp.

* Sugar - 1/2 tsp.

* Deep Sea Nectar - 1 pinch

In a small saucepan, stir together 1/3 cup water, chicken stock, sake, and sugar. Chill it until it becomes cold. Grill the chicken breast on both sides for about 8 minutes, and then chill. Boil the noodles for about 3 minutes, and then run under cold water until chilled. Mix the watercress, radish, and mushrooms into the sōmen. Slice the chicken thinly and arrange on top of the sōmen mix. Just before you serve, put the deep sea nectar in the sauce and pour over the noodles generously.

Go Go Delicious Chef!

Meanwhile, fans who have been following the "game" have found a possible new tie-in site at Tagruato.jp, a fictional company that has ties to Slusho.jp, which was previously confirmed as an official tie-in site. Be sure to check out both!

Produced by J.J. Abrams (upcoming Star Trek, "Lost," "Alias"), the Matt Reeves-directed film stars Michael Stahl-David, Odet Jasmin, Mike Vogel and Lizzy Kaplan.

    • Subscription upon subscription... That old Xzibit Pimp my ride meme comes to mind
    • EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
