Yahoo! Just The Facts on Cloverfield; Video of Cloverfield Monster

Yahoo! movies has started a new thing (or at least new to me) called "Just the facts" that give a breakdown on new and upcoming movies. On the list are movies like Jumper and Iron Man along with Cloverfield. Here's a sample of the info they provide for the user:

FACT ONE: It Came From Japan Producer J.J. Abrams took his son to a toy store in Japan and saw rows and rows of Godzilla toys. Feeling that the U.S. lacked a giant monster of its own, he decided to a make his own creature feature that would be filmed entirely through the point-of-view of the people on the ground, running for their lives.

FACT TWO: "Felicity" Fans Are in for a Shock Abrams picked his childhood friend Matt Reeves to direct the film. Together, they created Felicity, a show about young New Yorkers looking for love. But while the most exciting moment on that show was the time Keri Russell cut her hair, in this movie the entire city gets hacked to pieces.

FACT THREE: This Poster Doesn't Lie As a kid, Abrams loved Escape From New York. But he felt cheated that the image of the Statue of Liberty's head lying in the street on the movie's poster wasn't actually in the film. Abrams finally got to see it on the big screen in the teaser trailer that appeared before Transformers last summer.

Along with the breakdown of the movie is a clip from Cloverfield showing one of the attacks of the Cloverfield Monster. This scene shows the gang running head on into the Cloverfield Monster for the first time as they had uptown to rescue Beth. They seek cover as the military advances on the Cloverfield Monster and the gang ends up running down to the subway.
