Hmm lets see....

handheld camera, check
crazy special effects, check
big monster in nyc, check
massive hype, check
good marketing scheme, check

errr blair witch all over again, only this time they added the godzilla idea made back in the late 90s where in the trailers they didn't show what godzilla actually looked like....

So basically I have already seen this movie?

[stagefright]

yea no way this will have better special effects than blair witch, cg out the yingyang

[post office]

i heard its a big lion

[loophole]

i would not be surprised if it's that big cloud of black smoke we see in lost.
as in a spin-off of the movie, explaining it

I hope they keep the name Cloverfield.  It sounds alot better than any of the other supposed names they've thought of.  I also read that the big monster isn't the only one.  Theres also going to be small, raptor like monsters on the ground.  I'm not sure if I'm going to go see it or not yet, I'm waiting on a more official trailer first.  A concept like this can either be great or horrible.  I'm hoping its good though.

"A friend if mine who
was [relation to the film deleted by editor] told me
there's thousands upon thousands of "parasites" on the big monster
that leap off and attack everything in sight after it's been hit by
some tank shells.

Supposedly they are sort of "Alien" looking with five
or six claw like legs.

PS - the movie is (sort of) a modern day version of "The Beast
from 20,000 Fathoms " . Which if you ever seen it was about a giant
monster attacking NYC."

that kind of sounds like one of the monsters in that probably shitty movie/stephen king novel  "the mist". so maybe that's where that rumor sprang from.

A colossal behemoth with six legs. Other than the legs, with hundreds of the "bugs" attached to them, this creature is unseen. Although the creature's exact size is never specified, David gets the impression that its size would make a blue whale resemble a trout if both were posed together, and its weight is sufficient to leave six-foot-deep footprints in solid concrete.

"the mist" was a really good short story.  the movie, however, looks regular

[tag_king]

I had heard something about it being the attack of like greek gods or something, but I like the sound of the parasite shit better.

nah, zeus stomping around throwing lightning at shit would be way better.

[frisco]

that looks sick. its too bad that its only a 2-3 hour movie.

i agree, i think it would be sicker as a series, sometimes movies really cant cut it

JJ abrams is gonna do a really good job on this though, i find "lost" to be fucking mind-blowing

Speculations..

so the monster might be huge pubic lice? the world is fucked

I guess this movie was suppose to be so top secret, that the actors trying out for the movie werent even given the script. They were givin scripts from already aired lost episodes, and he based his decision off of that.

I also got into an argument with a friend who swears that this is the new power rangers movie. I just can't believe it tohugh. He gave me this too.

[frisco]

haha for a while i was convinced this was a power rangers movie, then i started to come down

my uncle was the executive producer for the show "The Black Donneleys" and the youngest brother on the show "sean" is the main character in this movie "rob"

they wern't given scripts, like you said ah lee, and my uncle couldnt even pry any info off of this actor, as pestering as i was to him

[SFblah]

Hehe, this sounds like you were dissapointed it wasn't the new Power Rangers movie.

However, if it's the new Ghostbusters I'll shit myself.  And that guy with the Slimer profile on here will have a field day.

Agreed man.... the short story was both absurd and scary (and I mean absurd in a good way... no explanation, just craziness).

Quick Silver Screen has a cam copy up... I haven't watched it, but I might later on (I'm not real inclined to rent it and I'm not going to the theater for it):

King's stories very rarely turn into good movies... Misery was excellent, Stand by Me was near perfect for the time it came out, and I'd even say Running Man was decent (though not as good as the story). But beyond that, his stories are usually made into shit.

One weird one was the made for TV Langoliers... it followed the story down to the very last detail (if you had read it, you could have just roleplayed any character in the movie), but the production was so bad that it was ruined.

you didnt like kubricks shining?

i really doubt abraams can keep a power rangers movie under wraps like this. i dont think this is a remake of any kind.

I can't believe I watched over 6 minutes of speculation about a new PowerRangers movie. Dick.

remember the miniseries for "it" that shit kept me awake for days....

"we all float down here, timmy..."

[grimcity]

Oh of course... The Shining was a near perfect movie (imho).
But you know how movies are never as good as the books? I think that's more enhanced with King's stuff... especially when it's a short story drawn out into a full length movie (Stand by Me being a huge exception).

[damian]

this movie sounds dope, but fucking damn, LOST FUCKING SUCKS. that show goes nowhere, the people get stronger and better looking as the season goes on, there is about 50 close up staring face shots be episode, and polar bears arent fucking white. stick to the topic of this movie.
