It's the name of the project. When the video starts it says "Gov. Property" blah blah blah "Tape of "Cloverfield Project". Plus, the Bad Robot studios are located on a street called Cloverfield. They named it so and then later during production called it Clovo(not sure of this one), Cheese and even Slusho but everyone kept getting the informations so they went back to the first name of the movie: Cloverfield.

Do JJ fans play everything backwards to find any clues possible?

I didn't, I didn't even stay after the credits. But, then again, I'm not a JJ Abrams fan, what constitutes a fan anyways? I didn't watch the movie cuz JJ Abrams produced it, I saw it cuz I liked the idea and the base of the movie. Definately would love a Clovo 2.

More infos, the official internet name of the monster is now Clovie. Cheers.

And also, for the people who saw this because they are fans of JJ Abrams... Hmmmm... he only produced it. Didn't direct it or anything. Just produced it.

Hasbro, Inc. brings to market the figure of one of the most tightly held secrets in recent Hollywood history: the “Cloverfield” Monster. Following the 1-18-08 theatrical release of Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot’s “Cloverfield,” fans will be able to order a highly detailed representation of the beast beginning today exclusively on HasbroToyShop.com.

Standing at an imposing 14 inches tall, the creature that wreaks havoc on New York City in the film is immortalized as a super-articulated figure for fans and collectors alike. As with other beasts in the annals of great movie monsters, the creature in "Cloverfield" captures the imagination and tugs at the fears of thrill seeking moviegoers.

The party may be over when this beast comes to town, but the fright inducing look of the creature lives on from the creepy people-sucking underbelly to the swath of parasites the beast lets loose to hunt citizens of the 'Big Apple.' The figure also comes with two interchangeable heads, each depicting one of the Monster’s moods: calm or agitated. The head of the Statue of Liberty, the iconic image which made the film’s much buzzed about and analyzed trailer so eerie and intriguing, is also included.

"Hasbro is very excited to be working with Paramount and Bad Robot to bring to market a piece of the film for fans and collectors," said Brian Goldner, COO of Hasbro, Inc. "The fan buzz on this film has been terrific and we are happy to take part in the excitement."

The "Cloverfield" Monster from Hasbro is available now for pre-sale at HasbroToyShop.com for an approximate retail price of $99.99.

Cloverfield Monster Features:

* 70 points of articulation and incredible life-like detail

* Authentic sound

* 14” tall

* 10 parasites

* Two interchangeable heads

* Statue of Liberty head accessory

* Special Cloverfield collector’s edition packaging

In conjunction with the launch of the highly anticipated CLOVERFIELD movie release, Hasbro, in a partnership with Bad Robot and Paramount Pictures, has produced a super-articulated and highly detailed limited collector’s edition Cloverfield Monster.

The Cloverfield monster is available exclusively through HasbroToyShop.com. Reserve your Cloverfield monster today to have the opportunity to receive it when it ships later this year. Limited quantities are available.

Awesome :D

If somebody hated the style in Blair Witch Project, would they like the movie?

Why?

The thing is, Cloverfield is filmed with a Handycam but it's still in HD and the sound effects are amazing so is the CGI. It's still possible to not like it, if you hated Blair Witch Project though.

You ordered it then I take it? :p

I lol'd at the fact they didn't show a preview of the model.

I pre-ordered to go ahead and get it in so I don't have to wait, but will cancel my order if I decide once I get to see it that I don't like it.

Yeah maybe they are trying to cover their bases with the actual design, like after the film is out everywhere and the dvd has been out a while.

You think the DVD will be out by then? A lot of these blockbusters wait FOREVER to get the DVD out.

Over here in the UK its 4 months now I think then the dvd is released so by that calculation its out Feb here, so DVD hitting stores around June/July maybe May where you are.

It made me goddamn nauseas, all that wobbling of the camera. I almost threw up...and don't get me started about the ending. There is absolutely NO closure.

Nevertheless, the movie was very intense and doesn't get any more immersive than this.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By madhopsman · Posted

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
