  • The film started out as an ?elaborate 60-page treatment? by Lost writer Drew Goddard.
  • Cloverfield features no musical score at all, ?just source music and well-orchestrated ambient sound.?
  • The beginning of the film was shown with a lightweight Panasonic HD HandyCam, ?then moves into transitional sequences shot with a 3-lb. Canon for about a third of the film.? The special effects shots were filmed with ?the much-heavier? hi-res Sony F23 or Thomson Viper.
  • One five-minute continuous master shot ?incorporates 20 VFX elements.?
  • Director Matt Reeves promises ?intimate contact? with the monster by the end of the 90-minute film.
  • A digital version of Cloverfield will play on in a few hundred screens.

Plus new still!

According to 1-18-08 this is monster or at least what someone has said...

That looks awfully small compared to the whale monster and IMO the slow down image of the monster from the trailer that was posted earlier in here looks more like it than that does.

What kind of monster is that in the first place? That thing is hideous!

The only thing that worries me about this movie is that they won't go into detail about the monster. I'm gonna see it and I'm probably gonna love it, but at the end I'm going to be asking, "Where did the monster come from?" "What's his story?". And needless to say, I'm afraid those questions will go unanswered.

I think thats the main purpose of the viral campaign for example the Slusho stuff and the Japanese company that owns the rigs and doing work in the sea, I would imagine that in the film it will be mentioned where it started from and then its up to you maybe to work it out who knows.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      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.
