Heard about this movie trailer showing with the Transformers movie today on the radio. No title - no nothing. Just this trailer. Looks pretty damn good. Anybody know more about it?

    I saw this during the Transformers movie...

    At first I thought it was a comercial for a Gears of War movie --- but dont think so.

    Looks interesting though.

    If I am not mistaken 1-18-08 is the name of the film.

    Check out the site http://www.1-18-08.com/

    Doesn't really fill in any blanks, but I feel like it will be some viral marketing.

    What the heck?! Two pictures on that sight? That's all I can see... to move around???

    Is that a demon face in between the two girls?!? Looks like this could be a good sci-fi thriller... but really hard to tell anything from the dumb preview.

    It's by J.J. Abrams from Lost who is making it. 1-18-08 isn't the name of the movie, it just doesn't have an official title, that the public knows of.

    Whatever it is, it looks effing great! I love the whole feel of that trailer. Watching everything from afar. That roar is creepy as hell too. Wonder if its Godzilla 2?

    I dont get the website tho. Whats up with that?

    **edit**

    found a couple things on it

    http://movies.ign.com/articles/801/801593p1.html

    One says it could be shot entirely from the prespective of a camcorder like Blair Witch. I sure hope not. It looks very promising and that could ruin it.

    The "official" working title of the movie is actually "Cloverfield". JJ Abrams (as Demi said, the guy who does Lost) has said that the only official website "that people have found" is the 1-18-08 one.

    Some more fun links for you guys.

    A brief writeup on USAToday about the movie.

    Speculation that this bizarre website could be related.

    The counterpart to ethanhaaswasright.com, ethanhasswaswrong.blogspot.com.

    Link to the high-res trailer on Apple's website.

    Saw the trailer as well. If the movie looks anything like the trailer, it looks really cheesy, very handy-cam type of filming, I hate that. Remindes me of that Blair Witch crapola.

    Odd....
    I didn't see a preview for it when I went to see Transformers.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    How do you know it's not? Not trying to start an argument. Just wondering why you think it's not?
