J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield Questions


Recommended Posts

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.

and should have spoilers tags. i havent seen it yet but now im guessing that they died at the end. Wahey go you!

Theres always one, its like people who stood in line at Star Wars with the ending on their t-shirt.

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.

It says it doesn't ship until September!! WTH

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.

I'll have finally seen it by then when it's out on DVD for my $1 Redbox rental :D

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.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
