New 'Cloverfield' Theory...

It's a slow weekend for 'Cloverfield' news and I've noticed a trend while surfing sites related to this cause that a lot of people have ideas about this movie and what the monster will be and they are almost always wrong. My favorites so far are a Voltron /Power Rangers or a 'LOST' movie.

Well, I figure the 1-18-08 Blog can be as wrong as the next dude so here goes my theory. It evolves from one of the 2 known credible sites, the Slusho homepage.

Take a closer look at their main picture, the Slusho container. Look familiar?





That's right. The Slusho container looks like Master Shake! And, that's not all. Check out this image from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie that came out this year featuring the main characters in dramatic poses.

Take a look closer at Carl, seen here holding a sword with his right hand up high while his left arm is bent inwards, almost like it's ready to hold something. Maybe a large tablet?

...look familiar !?!

Looks suspiciously like little Lady Liberty. And, if you look at a map of the New York City area you'll notice Liberty Island, home to the statue that gets its head blown off in the trailer, is conveniently positioned to the SW of Manhattan island.

The head of Liberty is blown in a NE direction toward Manhattan. For an object of that magnitude to fly in the air all the way toward Broadway there must be a large force coming from behind the Statue of Liberty to create that chaos.

And what's behind that?

New Jersey, home of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force!

Maybe the next scene we'll be seeing is this:


Just remember that in mid January of this year members of the ATHF crew were placing suspicious looking devices around major cities to help promote their propaganda. The devastating effects of those 'glowing' bomb-like devices even caused Boston citizens to freak out and panic. Members of the Bomb-squad and swat teams had to be called in to save the day.

Hopefully, this coming January we won't be blindsided by the destructive actions of the ATHF!

'MONOSTROUS' Poster Explained

Seems like 'Montrouse' is more an adjective than a movie title. JJ Abrams announced at Comic-Con that there is "a series of four posters" for Cloverfield.

Each one has a different tag line - MONSTROUS, FURIOUS, TERRIFYING, and BARBAROUS.

1-18-08 Picture #5 And New Characters

One of the few official websites linked to 'Cloverfield' puts up pictures weekly. At 1-18-08 they post photos that are usually just random and seemingly clueless taken during the night of 1-18-08.

The picture emphasizes 3 characters who pull a party picture pose of what looks like a picture taken in a mirror, kinda like the ones you see on MySpace which is a little odd since that little blond girl in the left looks like this cutie whose on my MySpace. It's just an odd coincidence but a cool one.

Now, onto the next clue. Seems there's a MySpace for Jamie ( check out her profile) who is mentioned if you play with your mouse and flip the picture.

If that MySpace is legit then you can follow the leads to see 6 other characters from the film, found by some hard work at Project Cloverfield. Check out the list to see some people you might recognize from the 1-18-08 trailer.

Official Name Is: ...

JJ Abrams announced a couple of weeks ago he was heading toward Comic-Con and would hopefully announce the title of the 'Cloverfield' movie at the Paramount Pictures presentation. Well, JJ arrived and talked and the new title of the film is...




...not revealed today.

JJ Abrams released this statement:

“I want a monster movie, I've wanted one for so long. I was in Japan with my son and all he wanted to do is go to toy stores. And we saw all these Godzilla toys, and I thought, we need our own monster, and not King Kong, King Kong's adorable. I wanted something that was just insane and intense. It's almost done shooting and I watch dailies and I'm more excited for them than the trailer, which has had an overwhelming response. We have 6 months before this comes out. We're going to have a whole bunch of things, a whole bunch more." He said a full trailer, more clips, full posters, and much more will be coming out over the next 6 months, including the name, which he will NOT reveal today.

“You think we'd call it Monstrous? No…"

Wow. A shocker. Abrams likes to keep a tight lid on his projects and we have a feeling the poster and title leak this week were good clues that the power of this movie is strong. However, he really backed out of the naming of the title of the movie.

People quickly gave their opinions on the poster and title when it was arrived this week. Most did not like the title and the reaction on the poster seems to be rather positive. Was Abrams scared off of announcing the title by fan reaction?

When the poster surfaced this morning without the title we knew something was going on. Was that a fake title or did the producers take it off? Interesting. The only official word is that the poster is REAL. That's something, ...

Hi-Res Pic Of The Monstrous / Cloverfield / Parasite Poster

Here is a more detailed picture of the poster that leaked out for the JJ Abrams monster mash, MONSTROUS. Via Cloverfield/Parasite Blog:

How the poster got out :
Someone on the IMDB board, in response to my hi-res images, stated that they know the vendor selling the "stolen" image for the movie and has already been contacted by Paramount.

The name of the person who is selling the one sheet pictured by our fellow poster here on IMDB is Luanna Jo Brown. I happen to know this woman. She has a big booth at the Frank and Son's show and sells movie posters and bootleg movies. She lives in Victorville, CA and Paramount has already been contacted regarding this breach and this stupid lady just spoiled the big announcement of the film's title that Paramount was saving for the Comic Con for all us fans. Plus -- she will be actually trying to SELL THESE STOLEN MOVIE One Sheets from Paramount while she is at the Con. I hope karma is kind to her. Cause Paramount won't be!!!!

Whether this is true or not, it hasn't seemed to phase anyone very much. Arguments against the poster state that the Vendor "Luanna Jo Brown" ruined the game by revealing the super-secret title days before JJ Abrams' big announcement at Comic-Con. As far as I'm concerned, we don't know that this is a true story and so what if the title is Monstrous? We still don't know what the monster is or why it's so pissed. [ ...more ]

Greg Grunberg Will Be In ‘Cloverfield’

Greg Grunberg as the Pilot in the Pilot for 'LOST'

Directors are picky people. There's always a core group of actors that a director will rely on to fill a role in their next movie and one such relationship is director JJ Abrams and actor Greg Grunberg.


They have worked together on Felicity, Alias, Lost, and Mission Impossible III before Grunberg took a role as a regular character on Heroes. If you remember, Grunberg flew out to Hawaii specifically to play the pilot in Lost for Abrams. The pilot in question got sucked out of the cockpit by the island's monster so I'm wondering what fate he will face in 'Cloverfield.'


Grunberg announced to TV Guide that he visited the set of the 'Cloverfield' production and will pop up again in some form in the 'Cloverfield' movie.
