peterish Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Great flick IMO; very nice combo of scifi, suspense, and human drama. The acting was excellent as well. gj JJ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/571661-jj-abrams-cloverfield-questions/page/26/#findComment-589150577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterish Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 oh and BTW what does 'cloverfield' mean lol? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/571661-jj-abrams-cloverfield-questions/page/26/#findComment-589150630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Watcher Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 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.

sundayx Veteran Posted January 21, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 21, 2008 Do JJ fans play everything backwards to find any clues possible?

The Watcher Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 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.

Hurmoth Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 If you notice that your post is missing from this thread, it is because I have moved it into the Cloverfield (2008) review thread. Please post all reviews in there. Thanks!

Rappy Veteran Posted January 21, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 21, 2008 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.

The Watcher Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 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.

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.

include Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 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.
