It was the one that looks like it is being shot with a video cam. at the party and then things start blowing up.

This site has something to do with it.

here you go: granted, not a ton of info

 

Yeah, I forgot about that once the movie began. It seemed cool. The monster or whatever it was sounded like Godzilla.

 

You can hear one of the people yell something about a giant lion.

 

Yeah, one of the rumors is that it's the live action Voltron movie that's in the works (Hence the lions), but the imdb page says it's not. The Voltron movie is being produced by another studio and imdb says the line is "It's Alive" not "It's a lion".

 

If you click on the blue star it allows you to send an e-mail to [email protected]. The subject line says, I'm one of you...Help me! There is also an extra star in the sky from when I looked at the site last night.

 

Found this

While unleashing "Transformers" onscreen this week, Paramount also lifted the lid on a top-secret project in the form of a teaser trailer for a new film, "Cloverfield."

"Cloverfield," which revolves around a monster attack in New York as told from the point of view of a small group of people, is being produced by J.J. Abrams. It is being directed by Matt Reeves, who co-created "Felicity" with Abrams, and is written by Drew Goddard, who has worked with Abrams on "Lost" and "Alias."

Paramount greenlighted the project under a veil of heavy secrecy in February, about the same time that Abrams agreed to the take over the directing reins of the new "Star Trek" film.

The casting process was just as mysterious. No scripts or even scene pages were sent out; agents who were contacted were simply asked if their client wanted to be in the movie or not. Eventually a cast, made up mostly of relative unknowns, was put together; it includes Michael Stahl-David ("The Black Donnellys"), Odet Jasmin, Mike Vogel ("Supercross") and Lizzy Kaplan ("The Class").

The movie, which is believed to have a relatively modest budget of about $30 million, began shooting in mid-June in New York. With "Transformers" generating huge tracking numbers in the weeks before its release, the studio decided to put footage from "Cloverfield" in a teaser in front of "Transformers" to build buzz.


After first presenting the Paramount and Bad Robot logos -- Bad Robot being Abrams' shingle -- the trailer opens with scenes from a surprise going-away party in a New York bar with a view of the city. Before long, a thundering roar is heard, and by the time guests run downstairs, pandemonium and flaming debris are hitting the streets. After a huge explosion at the lower end of Manhattan, what appears to be the head of the Statue of Liberty comes hurtling up the street like a giant projectile.

The trailer's footage is shot by a hand-held camera, home-movie style, giving it a sort of "Armageddon" meets " The Blair Witch Project" feel, though it is not clear if the entire movie follows that style. While the trailer does not reveal the name of the movie, it does announce a release date of Jan. 18.

Several copies of the trailer, seemingly shot in theaters with a camcorder, were posted on YouTube by Thursday morning. But by Thursday afternoon, some links had been taken down, replaced by an advisory saying, "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Paramount Pictures Corp."

Producing the movie along with Abrams is Bryan Burk, who has worked on such Abrams shows as "Lost," "Six Degrees" and "What About Brian." Guy Riedel and Sherryl Clark are executive producing.

"Cloverfield" is shooting in New York.

you unlock the box at EthanHaaswasright.com and I'm betting it'll allow you to decypher the funky words at the ethanhaas was wrong site.

 

the movie was apparently greenlighted in feb 07 and has a $30 mil budget. release set for jan 08. this tells me it's not fx heavy or if it is, they're not gonna be great.

probably a coincidence, but one of the chicks in the movie is from a sitcom called
"the class" and "the class" has a character named ethan haas. the class is about a group of 3rd grade friends re-uniting after 20 years. not sure if this has anything to do with anything.
