Devin over at CHUD just dropped me an email to inform us that he has seen the trailer for Cloverfield/1-18-08, which also included the title for the film.
First off, the title. I really think this is going to change as does Devin since the title he saw at the end of the trailer was … Cloverfield. As he says the trailer he saw was “marked as Trailer #1, V.17, with ‘Newest FX Shots'” and it could change before it is debuted in front of Beowulf mid-November, but that is what he saw so let’s roll with it. It’s at least better than Monstrous.
Now, for the description. You can read the whole thing here, but here is a snippet.
Then there’s footage of army guys running and shadows on a wall. Shadows of a screaming woman being attacked by a small monster (possibly two – either she’s being pulled away from the monster by someone behind her or there’s another monster behind her). It’s confirmed: the movie has a big beast and small ones. Like the American Godzilla.
People are hiding in a store, and there are huge thumps making everything shake. The windows of the store explode in.
The big sequence is next: Army guys running up a street, firing into the air. Tanks come up behind them, firing. Rockets launch up.
We see the big monster briefly passing between two buildings. I couldn’t make it out at all, but it appeared to be HUGE.
There is more to his report, get it all right here.
