J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield Questions

[episode]

If you have noticed, the head of the Statue of Liberty is small in the movie. This is definetly a big mistake that they have done in the movie. In the movie, the head of the Statue of Liberty is as big as 2 big cars. That's ridiculous.. the real thing is so large and like 10 times bigger than that in the movie. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are wrong.

People often see landmarks and assume they are bigger than they really are.

Liberty is not HUGE!

The head is 17 feet in height, 10 feet wide.

Thanks for the info you posted, but if you look at this picture for example:

this looks bigger than that in the movie... look at the people inside the head there... there is big space i guess.

That's so photoshopped. See that one pixel? Yeah, it's 'shopped.

[Rappy Veteran]

I think the Blu Ray of this is gonna be awesome!

[Hurmoth]

That isn't photoshopped. That is a real picture with Former First Lady Nancy Reagan. It is posted in the information center at Liberty Island. I remember seeing it there when I went up in the Statue myself.

C'mon, you didn't pick up on the sarcasm? It's a reference to an image about people being photoshop experts... nevermind, you ruined it :(

:p

Look at this photo:

I think it might be right, maybe a little off in size, but not by much. What gets me is the coloring is completely wrong. I know it is dark outside, but the head shouldn't be that dark.

Sorry :(

just think if you gooutside around 3am in the morning.. yeah it would be that dark. Think if your car is parked outside, the effect is the same.

You'd still be able to see the color of the car. The Statue is a very light green to begin with, not a dark green, so even a light color car you'd still be able to see the color better than that image.

Oh, and by the way, regarding the ending:

In the end there is no cigar shaped "thing" falling into the ocean, nothing like that is seen. The only thing seen is the waves in the ocean, but no object is seen falling. So in conclusion, that could be anything.

[Rappy Veteran]

Although yet to be confirmed, an image appeared online today of what appears to be the DVD cover art for Paramount Pictures' Cloverfield, which I cannot wait to get on Blu-ray (if the extras aren't scrapped). Read on for a look and watch for an official announcement soon. Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives.

sold. :D

What was that then? Because their CLEARLY is something there.

They should make the collectors box look like a torn down VHS.

One thing I thought was funny, was that no one thought to call the damn thing "Godzilla." Surely in real life, would have been like, "WTF its like a F'n Godzilla!" I found it annoying that they all avoided talking about the fact that everyone saw a huge monster, and kept asking "wth was that?"It was a F'n Monster!!! sheesh.. It was like there was an elephant in the room, quite literally almost....

I think in real life people would be to emotional to give a damn what it really is. They just want to get the hell away from it as quickly as possible without getting killed. I know I wouldn't care what it was called in those characters' situation.

that wouldn't make sense since it was filmed with a DV camera, or one of those DVD cameras.

My first thought would be to run away rather then talking about what he looks like :p

True... but that box could be better.

yeah, that's true.. people aren't that creative on making covers these days.
