If you've seen transformers-- you've seen the trailer for this:

Quote :

"Holy shit, this sounds awesome! This thing has been pretty top secret so far, without a peep or word or even a listing on IMDb. We haven't seen anything like this in a while, as almost everything nowadays has some news on it all the way from the start of production. This is not just your ordinary Hollywood disaster or giant monster flick, it's something way different. From the trailer you can tell this is going to be something unique, maybe even on the same scale as the Blair Witch Project. And for now this has to be one of the coolest trailers and best marketing tactics I've seen in a long while. What did everyone else think so far who has also seen it? "

PS dont read the link! Unless you've seen transformers!! SPOILER!!

It'll be way better if you dont know what to expect!

7/2/2007 11:30:11 PM

YES!

7/2/2007 11:35:00 PM

I want to hear more about this!

it's a very interesting marketing technique!!

7/2/2007 11:37:31 PM

working title of the movie is Cloverfield. Suppose to be shot in all personal video cameras, looks awesome

7/2/2007 11:42:13 PM

i couldnt even tell what the name of the movie was when i saw the trailer before transformers. when i saw the bad robot logo and strange shit started to go down, and i guessed that it was gonna be just like lost and we werent gonna get any real info from the trailer

i could have sworn i heard someone in the background in the trailer say something along the lines of "it was a giant lion, i saw it" or something like that. anyone else hear anything remotely like that?

JJ Abrams is one of the main guys who works on Lost, he's also producing this movie

7/2/2007 11:49:05 PM

7/2/2007 11:52:27 PM

here's a walk through for the ethanhaaswasright game. and if you read thru the comments, you get a lot of other people's speculation about this and Cloverfield.

if anyone remembers the end of LOST season 2, this whole website and anti-blog thing seems all too familiar.

^I'm trying to solve the puzzles on my own. I'm on the last one but I can't make any sense of it. Here's what I've gotten from the flashing letters:

one - hige
two - tgnh
three - enie
four - eitd
five - bnsn

7/6/2007 12:01:47 AM

Nevermind, I got sick of this shit and just looked at the walkthrough.

7/6/2007 12:19:42 AM

This movie is going to be awesome

7/6/2007 10:42:06 AM

watched the trailer again, the exact lion quote is

"Yeah I saw it ,its a lion , its huge"

""Yeah I saw it ,its a lion alive and its huge""

maybe?

with this marketing i highly doubt they would reveal the creature at this point through any means yet

[Edited on July 9, 2007 at 5:13 PM. Reason : fhds]

7/9/2007 5:11:39 PM

yeah I heard, "its alive" in there as well

but a couple times beforehand (after the initial roar/earthquake) I heard the people say "it sounds like an animal" and "what kind of animal sounds like that"

7/9/2007 5:48:43 PM

I really thought it was a mothra movie throughout the trailer.

7/9/2007 8:59:12 PM

I really liked that trailer but I've always been a big fan of being dropped right into the action without a huge setup.

7/10/2007 2:17:32 AM

i have a terrible feeling that i'm going to get really excited for it and it's going to end up being your generic alien invasion.

7/10/2007 4:04:30 AM

^ don't say that!!!

that ethan haas shit has nothing to do with the movie

some folks are now saying the creature or whatever is being called "the parasite"

7/10/2007 6:30:44 PM

the ethan haas shit seems like it would have more to do with something like The invasion

7/10/2007 6:45:33 PM

aint it cool news has a lot of good stuff on this, right now, i have no idea what this is going to turn out to be

7/10/2007 9:39:50 PM

a giant fire breathing lion...scary

7/11/2007 2:12:21 PM

the guy said it's alive ffs

7/14/2007 2:19:58 PM

7/15/2007 12:45:12 AM

and, that's it man

GAME OVER

GAME FUCKING OVER, MAN

7/15/2007 1:07:23 AM

trolling for nerds is fun, although in all seriousness i am curious as to what the movie is about after seeing the trailer

7/15/2007 1:28:05 AM

http://www.cthulhuthemovie.com/ lol

7/15/2007 6:02:32 AM

Here is my take on the movie

















"Its A Lion....And Its HUGE"
















DEATH KITTEN

7/15/2007 7:43:09 AM

Supposedly this website has something to do with the movie. eh.

http://www.slusho.jp/

7/15/2007 9:06:13 AM

giant slushee attack?

7/15/2007 10:37:26 AM

you laugh now...

7/15/2007 10:46:47 AM

a giant slushee attacking may be the coolest thing in the world. cooler than a giant flying fire breathing lion or a kthulu
