For those of you brave souls who went to see Transformers last night and got to see the trailers, I assume there was one you saw that you weren't sure what to make of it. No, I am not talking about I am Legend, the other one. The one that all was said was it had J.J. Abrams producing, by BAD Robot Productions and comes out January 18, 2008.
What we do know...the trailer was a teasser to get you excited, doubt if that will be in the film, if it is I doubt the whole film will be filmed in that fashion, be too much like Blair With Project. The movie is some sort of monster/creature movie, you hear the roars and everyone in my theater was pissed off when the trailer ended.
Some other information is that J.J. Abrams does the show Lost. Love it or hate it, it has captivated millions and still strings them along to this day. This movie better not be like that. Abrams produced Mission Impossible III which wasn't that bad. Also BAD Robot Productions has a 3 second clip that follows each episode of Lost, the same one from the trailer. Here it is...
Ok, so that doesn't tell us much besides the creative mind that brought us Lost is bringing us this. There are two projects his company is working on, Star Trek XI and The Good Sailor but these aren't this film!
Last bit of information...it has a IMDB Listing. Too bad NO information is given besides release date and Drew Goddard is the writer. He wrote episodes of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Alias wooohooo? The title the listed is Untitled J.J. Abrams Project.
A little more digging and what did I come up with? It appears Drew Goddard has been working on a screen play entitled Cloverfield(working title). Why is this important? It is listed as a FILM project and there is NO other film project listed. A quick look on IMDB and there is no Cloverfield movie listed. Neither is Cloverfield listed on his own IMDB. Could this be the J.J. Abrams movie title? Turns out it is, at least the working title. That or "The JJ Abrams Monster Movie." Take your pick...
Well hopefully more soon (along with video of the trailer)! Ah, Viral marketing at it's best...you can't buy this sort of hype. An article appeared over night about the boom of internet activity last night. Even shows the surge of internet activity from it.
Yeah, so I fell for the hype of this upcoming movie...who cares, I am excited! Here's to hoping it isn't a giant polar bear...
From what I read, it's supposed to be an invasion movie from a personal perspective. All captured from people on the street with video cameras kinda thing.
Should be neat.
But why the hell are they releasing it in January? That's when shitty movies come out like Kangaroo Jack and Air Bud 6: Hitler's Dog.
of course.. naturally there ain't jack shyte on that site at the moment but a couple photos you can move around.. *sigh* .. but hopefully it'll be updated soon.. ;)
