Anonymous said...: gryffin thats what it is called,it has the body of a snake, the head of a lion and claws of an eagle,the explosion you see in the trailor is actually one of its defenses. The name of the movie Cloverfield Project, actually comes from the orignal movie The Island of Dr.Monreau,im not going to give it all up , but if you watch that movie again,you will see why he came up with the Clovefield field project, as a name for this movie.The lastest in monster Movies is a MYTHOLOGICAL creature...........................hope i didnt shine to much light........AUTHENIcs.....; September 13, 2007 at 2:42 PM

A Gryphon was a winged lion with the head of an eagle. i think however the word you were looking for is Chimera, lion bodied creature with wings and a snake for a tail.. sometimes the head of a goat.. depending on which mythology you happen to read. Hope this helps and hope to see more news and highlights about this movie. looks to be one of the more decent ones coming out.; December 27, 2007 at 2:05 AM
Anonymous said...: guys i went to the theatre a few months back and saw a trailer of this movie. in the preview i saw the camera man zoomed up on a giant robot that was attacking the city. it looked like one of those robots with the square head and square body. basically like a toy. but for some reason i never saw the same preview again where they show this. now i'm really curious about this.; December 31, 2007 at 9:45 AM
Anonymous said...: I think maybe you guys are getting ahead of yourself a little to much...Aliens,lions,tigars and Muslims..Don't ya think there gonna make this movie a little more realistic and prob end up happining to be something like "The day after tommarrow" prob a second part to that, or something around that area.; January 3, 2008 at 1:52 PM
Anonymous said...: Well...what I think is that you all should stop arguing and shut up...what ever the "monster" is gonna be...the movie looks like it is gonna be good...and that is that.; January 11, 2008 at 7:46 PM
Anonymous said...: Well at second glance, it looks like a second "Godzilla" movie...have you ever thought of that as a new twist in horror film-making?; January 11, 2008 at 7:53 PM
Anonymous said...: To the individual who brought up "Muslims," you clearly have problems. This is a blog on a what is most likley a sci fi movie, not a political commentary or an opportunity for your blatant bigotry to come through. And the vehemence of your response on mythological names of various creatures plainly shows your deep lack of self esteem. Get a life.; January 13, 2008 at 12:08 PM
Anonymous said...: yeah i think it might be Godzilla but when the kids where in the sub ways they heard something and started running. so what might that be?
also the guy with the Muslim comment that wasn't funny; January 15, 2008 at 12:19 AM
Anonymous said...: after two hours of research...i think i might know what it is, if anyone remembers the movie voltron that is it...so who ever wrote it was a lion your on the right track just a couple steps off...; January 16, 2008 at 3:44 PM

Anonymous said...: NOPE NOPE all you guys are wrong. listen here...... I think its a SEA CREATURE or SEA MONSTER because if you watch closely on some parts you can see some kinda tail fins or fins. I think it came from the deepest hole in the earth that is out of reach from all your modern scientic marvels and your wonderful technologies!!! IT came from the big waters the atlantic in New york. its one of those creatures never touched by human minds and contact... i rest my case... hope you agree; November 6, 2008 at 1:51 PM

What is Cloverfield?

Welcome to 1-18-08 Project Cloverfield Blog.

Cloverfield is the J.J. Abrams (Lost, Alias) produced monster flick directed by Matt Reeves. Get caught up on all the Cloverfield news including the viral world of Tagruato, TIDOwave, and Slusho!? And now Aladygma?

However, I love viral campaigns. Cloverfield taught me the fun of being involved with the viral world of movies and TV. That's why I'd like to branch out this site to cover some of the major viral campaigns as they are developing. Feel free to drop me a line or tip on any you find interesting.

Welcome to Cloverfield

Very few facts emerged from the viral campaign that was Cloverfield. It all started after a short, teaser trailer for Cloverfield appeared with the Transformers movie in early July of 2007. Since then, speculation surrounded what the title of the movie would be (Monstrous, Overnight, etc...) and what the monster really is and why it is tearing up New York City.

A few pictures and covert videos from the film showed up online and there were only a few core facts we knew of including the poster, the teaser trailer, and a few websites at 1-18-08, Tagruato Corp, and Slusho .

In November, the official full-length Cloverfield trailer was released that helped open up the story as well as cement the "Cloverfield" name for the movie. A short glimpse of the Cloverfield Monster was seen but for most people they still had little or no clue as to what it was.

The movie centered around five young New Yorkers throwing their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives. Cloverfield opened the weekend of 1-18-08 and set box office records for a movie in January with a monster take of over $40M. Continue to check back here for updates on the mystery and viral campaigns of Cloverfield.

Slusho This is the Japanese frozen drink made from a secret ingredient gathered from the bottom of the ocean. Slusho gives you a kick and makes you extremely happy. Prior to 1-18-08 Slusho was not sold in the US. However, recent FDA approval gave Slusho clearance to come to the states. Rob Hawkins, the lead character, was recently promoted to vice-president of Slusho and was on his way to Japan the night of the attack. Slusho is owned by the Tagruato Corp. of Japan. Slusho also first made an appearance on J.J. Abrams Alias during a scene where characters buy the drink at a store.

Tagruato This ficticious Japanese company is the parent company of Slusho as well as the Yoshida Medical Research, Bold Futura, and ParafFUN! Wax Distributors. Besides drilling the oceans for Slusho ingredients, Tagruato builds everything from space satellites to medical gear.

T.I.D.O wave An activist group set out to bring to light all the damage Tagruato has done to the envirnoment.
