Cloverfield spoilers (real or fake?) (part one)

Cloverfield spoilers (real or fake?)

I’ve heard the Cloverfield PR machine rolling and most people want to know what hell is Cloverfield.

Well there are people claiming to have seen previews viewing of the film in question. Some seem really fake, while others seem real. One gives us really detailed information.

Here is a detailed report on the movie. (Could be fake or real)

Key Things from the review,

1. Most of the movie is shown from a handheld camera: I really like this and the five-minute preview was really interesting, proving this also. HUD is the ‘main’ cameraman.

2. Read the portion about the people who drink the Slusho: There could be a connection, though it’s never spelled out in the movie.

3. Watch what gets smashed when the Statue of Liberty head lands on the street: Could this be true? There is a Taxi getting smashed, but is there someone inside it?

4. There have been rumors that there is more than one threat to the city: If you watch the TV spots, what the ‘reviewer’ states seems true. I really find this subplot really interesting and creepier than the actual monster. That is if this subplot is real.

As I said before, this all could be fake. But there are a couple of seconds in the TV spots that sort of support the subplot. And, we do know something happens to at least one of the characters with the Hazmat people.

Here’s an interview with the director

  2. Yeah, I really like the format (handheld) with some unknown actors and tons of viral marketing.

    They even have their own Hanso type company.

  3. I saw a trailer for it a few weeks ago when I went to see Hitman. It didn't even tell us the name of the film, just went straight into the cameraphone view of the party, then the destruction. That was pretty unsettling actually. I didn't know what the hell it was and had to investigate it when I got home (which was the point, I assume).

  4. Yeah, there's a whole Viral marketing back story to the film. Actually the back story is happening in real time until the release date.

    Yeah, even some of the TV spots are creepy.
