8.21.2010
» ‎ Cloverfield News

Last night I received a very strange e-mail that mearly says “8.21.2010″ in both the subject and the body of the e-mail. I really don’t think it means anything related to Cloverfield or a sequel (since anyone can send me an email), but you never know. It was sent from an anonymous remailer so I can’t tell who sent it. So throw this one in the “???” file, cause I have no clue what it means, if anything, but since Cloverfield news has all but died out for the time being, anything is worth posting no matter how far fetched it may possibly be.

Cloverfield 2 Will Not Be a “Literal Sequel”
» ‎ /Film
During the Comic Con panel for Fringe, someone asked J.J. Abrams if there were any updates on a Cloverfield sequel. Abrams response started off very much in the same way that it did when he was asked about it before, but then he let slip a piece of information that is sure to spark conjecture amongst fans.

“There’s something we’re playing with now that may or may not happen. There’s an idea we have that plays with… it’s not a literal sequel.“

Unfortunately, that’s where the discussion ended. Abrams is known for being pretty tight-lipped when it comes to his projects, so all we can do is wonder what exactly him and director Matt Reeves (who he confirmed would be directly involved if it happened) have in store for us. Considering that they’re still talking about the sequel this late in the game, and that they’ve already established they wouldn’t want to just re-use the handheld gimmick in the same way they did before, it’s nice to know that they’re not just trying to get a sequel out there based purely on the success of the original. If they do it, it will be because they have a good idea to back it up.

Cloverfield Wins a Saturn Award
» ‎ Cloverfield News

I’m not really familiar with the Saturn Awards but apparently it’s The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films and they have been giving away awards for 34 years! I’ll have to keep up with this from now on, it sounds really interesting. Anyways, Cloverfield won an award at the ceremony last night! It won the award for the Best Science Fiction Movie, beating out movies like Sunshine (which is a great movie if you haven’t seen it).

So congratulations to J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves on your win last night!

How The Cloverfield Monster was Disturbed
» ‎ /Film
A bunch of websites are posting what they claim to be the first photos from Cloverfield 2. My friend Dennis from CloverfieldClues sent these over to me last week, and I wasn’t really sure they were newsworthy or not. Truth is, these are not photos from a Cloverfield sequel. The following photos are the result of the viral alternate reality game from the first film.

The pictures show the discovery of the Cloverfield monster and parasites by Tagruato subs, deep on the ocean floor, near Tagruato’s Chuai Oil Drilling Station. The depth meter on the second photo reads 10,027.5 Meters, which would be over six miles below the surface. These photos were taken before the events in the first Clvoerfield film. The sub probably disturbed the monster, which caused the destruction of Chuai Station, and the eventual destruction of New York City. So if anything, consider this the end of the prequel.

Anyone who wants to read the American translation of the above transmission can head over to CloverfieldClues.

Below is the official press release from Paramount which has their plans for upcoming Blu-Ray releases, one of which is Cloverfield, check it out.

PARAMOUNT HOME ENTERTAINMENT’S FANTASTICAL HIT THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES LAUNCHES DAY-AND-DATE WORLDWIDE ON BLU-RAY

There Will Be Blood, Cloverfield, Bee Movie, Face/Off and Next
Also Released in Time for Memorial Day and Father’s Day;

Focus Remains On Immersive High-Def Home Entertainment Experiences

LOS ANGELES (April 30, 2008) - Paramount Home Entertainment (PHE), a division of Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA), today announced its first day-and-date Blu-ray release, The Spiderwick Chronicles on June 24 and rolling out in key international markets beginning in July. Continuing its commitment to offer the best possible movie experiences for consumers, the studio will deliver the highest quality picture, sound and special features available with these upcoming Blu-ray releases. In the U.S., There Will Be Blood, Cloverfield, Bee Movie, Face/Off and Next will begin arriving May 20 to capitalize on Memorial Day and Father’s Day. Internationally, The Spiderwick Chronicles will be followed by Cloverfield and the AcademyÒ award-winner for Best Picture, No Country for Old Men beginning in August.

“Paramount Home Entertainment continues to focus on the consumer and to explore avenues that allow fans to get more out of their home entertainment experience,” said Kelley Avery, President of Worldwide Home Entertainment, Paramount Pictures. “We will have a strong slate of titles for Blu-ray release throughout the year worldwide and are enthusiastic about expanding the format’s offerings for a broad consumer audience while delivering an experience that goes beyond what viewers love about DVD.”

The Spiderwick Chronicles launches PHE’s day-and-date new release strategy. Based on the best-selling series of books, The Spiderwick Chronicles takes viewers on a fantastical journey into the unseen world all around us and the Blu-ray disc will include behind-the-scenes featurettes, an exploration of the Spiderwick world, an exclusive peek inside Arthur Spiderwick’s Field Guide and much more.

PHE’s 2008 Blu-ray titles debut on May 20 in the U.S. with two sensational action-adventures: a Special Collector’s Edition of Face/Off, the mind-blowing crime-drama starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, with special features such as multiple commentaries, deleted scenes, an alternate ending, the Making Of Face/Off and more; and the sci-fi thriller Next, which stars Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel in an adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story. The Next Blu-ray includes a Making Of featurette, “Visualizing the Next Move,” “The Next Grand Idea” and “Two Minutes in the Future with Jessica Biel.”

DreamWorks Animation’s smash hit Bee Movie also will buzz onto Blu-ray on May 20. The hilarious animated adventure from renowned comedian Jerry Seinfeld took audiences by swarm and earned approximately $287 million in worldwide box office. The Bee Movie Blu-ray features a wealth of bonus materials including “Barry’s Trivia Track” with fun pop-up trivia, changeable menus, a Build-A-Bee feature to allow viewers to create their own avatar, lost scenes, alternate endings and much, much more.

Following the initial wave of titles, Producer J.J. Abrams’ monster hit, Cloverfield, arrives on Blu-ray on June 3. Earning over $166 million in worldwide box office to date, Cloverfield thrilled critics and audiences alike with its shocking, first-person video account of a horrifying attack on Manhattan by an unknown—and seemingly unstoppable—force. The Cloverfield Blu-ray will include an exclusive feature-length “Special Investigation Mode” with added details about the film. Additional features include a director commentary, Making Of featurettes, deleted scenes, alternate endings with commentary and more.

Director Paul Thomas Anderson’s critically-acclaimed epic There Will Be Blood also arrives on Blu-ray June 3. The film was named by more than 200 critics as one of the top 10 movies of 2007 and stars Academy Award®, Golden Globe® and SAG Award® winner Daniel Day-Lewis. The Blu-ray features a slideshow of vintage photos selected by the director and set to the unforgettable score by Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, deleted scenes, a featurette on dailies and more.

JJ Abrams on a Cloverfield Sequel
» ‎ /Film
I heard a couple months ago that a Cloverfield sequel had been put on the backburner. With the recent release of the DVD, talk of a Cloverfield sequel has begun to reappear. Producer JJ Abrams tells G4’s Attack of the Show that they have a good idea:

“There is a couple ideas that Drew Goddard , the writer, and Matt Reeves have that are pretty fantastic. So we’re playing around with some ideas and obviously if it isn’t something that really excited us and inspires us, we won’t do it. But there are some good ideas out there.”

When asked if the second film would be shot using the first person video camera style employed by the first film, Abrams replied:

“It could. I think it’s a valid style,” Abrams continued. “I think as a gimmick, people have already seen it, so if you’re going to do it, you have to do something unique with it.”

Abrams also confirms that there is absolutely no connection between LOST and Cloverfield, as he called the use of the Dharma logo a wink to his friends working on the popular sci-fi television series. You can watch the full interview with JJ Abrams below.

DVD Easter Egg Monster Images

The DVD has already leaked to the web and some people are diving right into it trying to find anything and everything they can and it seems like some of their hard work is paying off. While they are probably no more than easter eggs and not clues towards something more, a few frames of old monster movies have been found spliced into the Cloverfield DVD. The most obvious one is from King Kong and the others I’m not 100% sure of, probably clips from within the Godzilla franchise somewhere.

Cloverfield: Teddy Hanssen last seen 12/07/2007
» ‎ /Film
/Film reader Ignatius F informed me that a new photo has appeared on the old Cloverfield website 1-18-08.com. The photo is a Missing Flyer featuring “Teddy Hanssen last seen 12/07/2007″

Teddy Hanssen is the long-distance boyfriend of Jamie Lascano, a character who was featured extensively in the teaser trailer, but only seen in the film laying unconscious on the couch at the party. One of the viral websites, Jamieandteddy.com (password “jllovesth”), shows videoblogs made by Jamie talking about their relationship, which eventually turns sour. She was also revealed to be the roommate of Marlena. The couple met at a New York City club and dated briefly before Teddy left to go on a trip. In the fourth video, Jamie mentions ‘The Cause’ and says that Teddy can talk about it all he wants. In the fifth video, Teddy tells her that he’s been captured by ‘a company called Tagruato’, but she doesn’t believe him. Thinking that he was lying because he was seeing someone else, she dumped him. Included in that package was a small packet of something wrapped in silver foil with the note:

“Primary evidence. Freeze ASAP. Jamie, don’t eat this.”

Jamie later eat the contents of the packet mocking Teddy to her video camera in the eighth video posted on January 9th, less than a week before the Cloverfield Monster attacked New York City.

It’s also worth noting that the back of the new photo features a weird logo and number in the corner:

The same logo is featured on a label on the DVD release (photo via Bloody Disgusting):

What does this all mean? I’m not quite sure. No one at Paramount has any clue about the new 1-18-08.com viral. From what I understand, the whole thing has always been kept internally at Bad Robot. You would think this might just something Bad Robt planned to spark interest in the DVD release.

Some people are suggesting that this could have something to do with a possible Cloverfield sequel or the rumored to be JJ Abrams project codenamed ALADYGMA. But no one I know seems to know anything about that project, to the point that I’m not sure it even exists at all. I know that sequel talk was put on the backburner when the Cloverfield monster failed to have legs, but the film has done extremely well overseas. The movie opened in Japan this weekend, and while numbers are not yet available, I’m sure it will be popular in the land of Godzilla. Check out this cool graph from CloverfieldClues.

The Cloverfield Monster might not have legs, but it sure has a long tail (Cloverfield hit the $80,000,000 mark in the US after making $40 million in its first weekend, it has taken another 11 weeks to double that). The film has taken in over $158 million worldwide to date.

Discuss: Do you still want to see a Cloverfield sequel?

Two Alternative Cloverfield Endings
» ‎ /Film
The upcoming Cloverfield DVD release (out on April 22nd) includes two “alternative endings”, which have found their ways onto the internets. The first new ending features a clip of Rob chasing Beth around on a subway platform before 1-18-08. The second ending features a few brief mili-seconds of a man removing the camera from the rubble followed by a clip of Rob and Beth in Coney Island. Both endings are more like minor edits than full alternative conclusions. You can watch both endings after the jump.

Looks like the elusive “sword/swirl” logo has appeared on www.jamieandteddy.com (password: jllovesth) in the upper right hand corner. All this has got to have something to do with the DVD release so if anyone finds out anything more, be sure to leave a comment or post it on the forums.

Sword Logo Appears on Tagruato.jp
» ‎ Cloverfield News

The same logo that is on the Slusho.jp page as well as the back of the MISSING picture of Teddy on 1-18-08.com is now appearing on the Tagruato.jp page. And yes, all 3 logos are exactly the same but the one on the Teddy photo seems to be flipped like you’re looking in a mirror.

New Picture on 1-18-08, Teddy Hanssen Missing
» ‎ Cloverfield News

Thanks D_Rock.

I saw this yesterday but wanted to wait to make sure it wasn’t some April Fools crap that’s been all over the web. So here we go, finally a little something. An update to 1-18-08.com reveals a “MISSING” poster for Teddy Hanssen. We all know Teddy as the guy that sent Jamie the package and who Jamie was making the videos for, so we’ll keep an eye out on Jamie’s page to see if she makes a new video. Also on the back of the image in the bottom corner is the same weird logo that appeared on the Slusho.jp site last week. It had no significance at the time so I didn’t post it, but it seems that there might be something to it.

New Server and Forum Update
» ‎ Cloverfield News

I know I’m not the only one who gets annoyed when this site loads slow as hell and even though Cloverfield has come and gone in theaters and the viral campaign is withering away for now, I’m making upgrades. In anticipation of Cloverfield 2 (I hope it comes through) and the amazing viral marketing I expect to come with it, I’ve purchased a dedicated server to run the site. No more will I have to rely on shitty shared hosting for my sites. No more slow speeds, random outages, crashing, etc. I’ll have full control unless of course the power goes out in the data center or something drastic like that. The server is obviously not just for this site, I run a series of blogs and sites that need a boost in speed as well, so this will host all of them. Don’t worry though, the server is powerful enough to handle all of my sites and then some, so if you’re looking for some quality hosting instead of those other shared hosting, leave a comment with your email and we can talk .

So basically in the next couple of days Cloverfieldnews.com will move over to this new server and it should be night and day with load times. I have just finished moving the Forum over to the new server and took the opportunity to finally update the software and give it a whole new look, so head on over there and check it out.

I’m also asking that if you read this site please check out the forum and take a second to register and make a post. Contribute to the community that built up so well when the Cloverfield hype was building up but has now started to lose steam. I don’t want this to happen so if you have a second go register or log back in and post in one of the other sections on the board to help stimulate conversation. I’m going to start advertising the forum more and trying to build up the userbase so don’t give up on us yet!

Thanks again for reading this site and when Cloverfield 2 news starts to pop up, we’ll be on top of it all just like last time.

Cloverfield DVD April 22nd
» ‎ Cloverfield News

Looks like Paramount has announced a few details on the upcoming DVD release of Cloverfield along with cover art, and yes I would have much rather seen the cover be like the image that has been floating around for a few weeks. My guess is that the art that has been posted on other sites is the international cover, meaning non-US (we always get shafted) and the cover below is the US cover, but that’s just my guess, and I hope I’m wrong, cause I want that bad ass cover that I’ve been seeing. But anywheres here are some details according to bloody-disgusting.com

“…April 22, and should retail at around $27.95. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. Extras will include a commentary by Director Matt Reeves, 4 featurettes (The Making of Cloverfield, Cloverfield Visual Effects, I Saw It! It’s Alive! It’s Huge, and Clover Fun), 6 additional scenes (Congrats Rob, When You’re in Japan, I Call That a Date, It’s Going to Hurt, Alt Ending #1, Alt Ending #2), and multiple eastereggs. There’s no word on a Blu-ray release at this time, and we’re told NOT to expect one right yet. BOO!”

So there you have it… looks like I’ll be holding off until a blu-ray version becomes available, but the DVD version will be added to the netflix queue for now. And enjoy the “cover art” below.

Cloverfield Manga Comic #2 Online
» ‎ Cloverfield News

If you remember back just before the release of the movie there was a japanese manga comic that dealt with what seems like some sort of backstory to Cloverfield. Well the 2nd issue is online now and you can check it out HERE. I obviously can’t read Japanese so I’m not exactly sure what is going on, but the pictures are cool. Follow the link above and click the box in the upper left corner and the comic will open in a new window. Enjoy.

JJ Abrams talks Cloverfield 2
» ‎ /Film
I’ve been told that a Cloverfield Sequel is pretty much dead for now (not to say it can’t eventually happen), but JJ Abrams was recently asked about the possibility and here is what he said.

“There is an idea that has come up that… we’re exploring so we’ll see if it’s worth doing then hopefully we’ll get a chance to do it.”

When asked if there will be another monster, Abrams replied:

“Another monster, yeah, another sort of a interesting way in but we have some cool ideas and Drew Goddard, the writer and Matt Reeves the director have sort of cooked something up so we’re . . . you know hopefully that’ll get a chance to happen.”

Note the use of the words “exploring”, “chance” and “hopefully”. Abrams also insinuated that if a sequel were to happen, that it might not employ the same first person handheld video camera point of view.

“At a certain point it’s the kind of thing probably wears out it’s welcome you know, for some people probably while watching the movie, you know what I’m saying?”

Discuss: If they were to make Cloverfield 2, and it were not filmed in the POV style, what could set it apart from general monster movies?

Aladygma?
» ‎ /Film
What is Aladygma?

Is it the code name for a yet-to-be-announced JJ Abrams-produced film project?

Is it the code name for the expected Cloverfield sequel? Chances are it is none of the above. Everyone in Hollywood has no idea what I’m talking about when I bring up “Aladygma”.

And chances are it has absolutely nothing to do with a Cloverfield sequel, as I’m told that the project is currently dead at the moment (this could always change). If anything, “Aladygma” is either an internal codename used within Bad Robot or chances are, it’s a fan created code name that somehow slipped into the news reports of the online film media.

If anyone knows anything about “Aladygma” or any other JJ Abrams project, please mat.

Discuss: What would you like to see in a Cloverfield sequel?

RANT: The Cloverfield Monster is NOT A Spoiler
» ‎ /Film

Yesterday, we posted the first photos of the Cloverfield Monster Toy, which is being produced by Hasbro. We received a few angry comments, yelling at us for “Spoiling” Cloverfield for them.

The whole concept of Spoilers has been something that has been on my mind for a few months now. Originally a Spoiler meant something from a film that gave away a twist or turning point in the story. Basically, anything that would ruin your experience watching the story on the big screen. I don’t know exactly when, but sometime in the last year the tide began to change online, and studio released production photos began to be considered “spoilers” even when they didn’t reveal something major about the story. A reader once complained to me that posting a photo of Indiana Jones standing in front of a jungle background was a spoiler which should be kept after the jump. I try not to “Spoil” stuff, but it has gotten ridiculous.

The Cloverfield Monster is NOT a Spoiler!

It’s a real testament to the marketing department at Paramount, that they somehow tricked the world into believing that the Cloverfield Monster is somehow a spoiler. It all started when director Matt Reeves threw in the now infamous last minute line “I saw it! It’s Alive! It’s Huge” while he was directing the film’s teaser trailer (the trailer was filmed before the movie). And sometime after the trailer hit attached to Transformers, the studio and Bad Robot decided to focus the marketing around the mystery and the fan’s craving to know - “What is it?”

But truth is - The Cloverfield Monster is not a spoiler. Seeing the monster does not ruin the movie for you. It doesn’t ruin the story what-so-ever. In fact, the marketing campaigns for most monster movies heavily involve the appearance of the monster(s). The only way the Cloverfield Monster would/could be a spoiler is if it was the result of a plot twist. Say for example, Rob’s father ate some brownies with some nuclear gamma acid and turned into the monster. So by seeing the creature, you would be able to see that the monster use to be Rob’s father. That would be a spoiler. Seeing Godzilla before a Godzilla movie is not a spoiler.

Besides, Paramount gave Hasbro the go-ahead to release the photos of the toy version of the monster. The photos were released on the official website, in plain view, without a spoiler warning. The film hit theaters almost a whole month ago. Paramount even began running television advertisements featuring a very good look at the Cloverfield Monster, just days after the film’s opening weekend. But then again, some people woul
