J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield Questions

just wanted to bump this.. there's some new TV Spots on Cloverfield on comingsoon.net.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=40456

Saw those last night wasn't sure to post them as theres only like 2 new scenes but still looks good...film of 2008.

Watch, this film will be a total bombshell and suck big hairy monkey balls. That's what always seems to happy with these overhyped films. I hope it is as awesome as what it sounds, but it wouldn't surprise me.

overhyped would be like Transformers.. lol.. god I loved that movie.

An interesting (and unconfirmed) rumor hit our inbox moments ago claiming that JJ Abrams is maniacally obsessed with Magnolia Pictures' Korean monster movie The Host and that there are a few homages to it in Paramount Pictures' Cloverfield, which was produced by Abrams. I wouldn't be shocked if this was true... maybe we'll ask him if he let's press interview him for the release? Directed by Matt Reeves, the monster movie hits theaters January 18.

hmm, i'm having mixed feelings about this movie now. It doesn't tell you much, and seems to over hype itself just like "The Village"

All the scenes I have seen are always the same, and i'm starting to think thats the only part of the movie. Will the rest of the movie be filled with talking and an extremely boring character story line?

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I just saw an online ad for Cloverfield and it stated, "Something has found us." That suggests aliens to me. Anyone else think that too?

I haven't seen them use this wording before on any of the other ads.

Don't know how many times on this thread alone people have said Godzilla :laugh:

Yeah, I know ._. it's just when the monster is moving past one of the buildings in the start of the second trailer, when I pause it looks like a big robot leg.

is it a worldwide release on 18-01-2008 or is UK going to get a delayed by a few months release date or what, cause i CANNOT wait for this behemoth of a film

We get it in the UK, (or possibly Europe?) either very late Jan or very early Feb. So basically avoid the internet altogether between jan 18th and then! Otherwise all 'mystery' will be spoiled

Nope early Feb as Vamp said, I wish they had a Worldwide release it spoils the film.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
