Marcus Theaters Won't Show Cloverfield

The seventh-largest theater circuit in the country, Marcus Theaters, owns or operates 594 screens at 49 locations in Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, North Dakota and Iowa. They have not been able to come to terms with Paramount Studios, the distributor of Cloverfield. As a result they will not show the movie at their establishments.This follows a similar decision to not screen the Tim Burton musical Sweeney Todd for the same reasons. So if you live in that area you'll want to plan ahead and find another theater chain to watch Cloverfield.

Cloverfield Movie PosterIESB.net has uploaded new Cloverfield still images as well as the final one sheet Cloverfield poster (above). Some of the pictures were released a few months ( see here and here) back and a couple look like they were lifted from the trailer. However for the first time in awhile there are plenty new images to look at and analyze.

Alternate Reality Games: What Makes or Breaks Them?

If you are new to the "Cloverfield" you will eventually run into the terms like "viral ad campaign" and "ARG" in many articles and posts. The "Cloverfield" movie has kept active on the Internet thanks to a strong online presence using both of these methods.
One site I used to reference a lot for Cloverfield clues and finds were the forums at unfiction. This group researched clues and analyzed everything under the sun to help make some great discoveries. Now that "Cloverfield" has become more traditional media publicity (TV commercials, radio, magazines) and less viral the forums are less useful to the average bear but are still a great reference to fans wanting to know all about the movie or just get started.
A good news feed like Google can email me updates on "Cloverfield" when they occur which saves me a lot of time searching various sites and forums. However, there's no denying a lot of the early legwork in finding clues and websites for "Cloverfield" was done with sites like the unfiction forums.

What are Alternate Reality Games (ARG):Viral marketing and ARG's can hurt and help movies, like "Cloverfield." Critics complain the viral and ARG information is just publicity marketers use to exploit fans. It's easy to lose interest if the movie becomes complicated. No one wants to have to study the night before to watch a movie.(from unfiction) A cross-media genre of interactive fiction using multiple delivery and communications media, including television, radio, newspapers, Internet, email, SMS, telephone, voicemail, and postal service. Gaming is typically comprised of a secret group of PuppetMasters who author, manipulate, and otherwise control the storyline, related scenarios, and puzzles and a public group of players, the collective detective that attempts to solve the puzzles and thereby win the furtherance of the story.
"Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) have become an incredibly powerful viral marketing and audience engagement tool over the last couple of years. However, the elements of a successful ARG remain a mystery to most people. Some of the most successful ARGs that I have participated in over the past few years were the I love bees campaign for Halo 2, the Iris campaign for Halo 3, the political dystopia campaign, for NIN's Year Zero, and most recently the Harvey Dent political campaign for the upcoming The Dark Knight movie."

Over the years Manhattan has been a focal point for cinematic destruction. Now, "Cloverfield" follows hot on the tail of Will Smith's "I Am Legend" in taking a bite out of the Big Apple. The New York Times takes a look at the resurgence of movies destroying New York City.

Cloverfield Trailer
Cloverfield has added a MySpace profile to join in with the Facebook profile that launched the "widget" fiasco. On the MySpace profile, visitors can download desktops and a couple of pics as well as view the trailer and exclusive movie clip that's been making the rounds. Thanks to Trebory6 for sending me the link.
Facebook added the "widget" last week with a contest to see which website could "grab" the code the most. Everything was fine until some "ringers" popped up and worked their way to the top 5 in only a day. A lot of the people in the top 10 are professionals who, in my opinion, should be exempt from the contest since they get freebies, screenings, and other stuff free to promote on their sites. Essentially, their amatuer critics who are bought with swag.
However, there's less than a month 'till Cloverfield opens and there should be tons of viral stuff pop out. I'm excited to see some of the advertisements for the movie as we get closer to the release date of 1-18-08. I have a hunch you'll see some people out and about (New York City watch out!) near the opening night with posters, shirts, and other promo stuff handing them out.

Cloverfield News : Tagruato Website Under Construction
11/26/2007 |

Dave and Thomas
The long Thanksgiving weekend is over and I'm still full of turkey and stuffing. Everything from my template to sitemeter to youtube was down at least part of the weekend which is extremely frustrating.Another site that was down was the Tagruato Corp. website (see: TAGRUATO IS DESTROYING OUR OCEANS) which was "Hacked" and an image with the caption "Tagruato is destroying the world's oceans" was put in place of everything.
Today, the site is still not up but there is what looks like an "Under Construction" symbol present. The previous picture that the "hackers" put up is riddled with clues, according to many fans. There are roman numerals and names hidden in the drawings.
For a more detailed description of those findings check out this post at Cloverfield Clues.

Cloverfield Hi-Resolution Trailer Shot By Shot

A quick viewing of the new Hi-Resolution Cloverfield trailer had something strike me as odd. I have yet to check with UnFiction to see what all they dug up, but hopefully some of these can be useful.First off, did they redo the entire scene where Rob enters his Farewell Party?
Sure enough they did.
The opening shot of both trailers shows Rob entering a surprise party. In the latest trailer his hair is sticking up a little and he's got a new, geeky friend.
Most telling are the touch ups done to the Statue of Liberty's head. Note the glossy look in the new trailer with the added claw marks. Also, a muted green look is added to the trailer instead of the original , reddish street light look
Rob introduces himself. The image is blurred and some digital code-looking jargon covers the screen.
Destruction of the city.
Jets fly from explosion in city.
Cell phones still work. Rob reaches Beth.
FDNY Paramedics crew helps victims.
Escape from New York. People flee across Brooklyn Bridge.
Military hospital with victims.
Flee the city. Someone shouts out to head away from the center of the city.
Inside store, surrender/arrest?
MP/soldier with blurred face. Rob to left?
Arrested or sick?
Rob helps Marlena through rubble.
Victims aftermath
Rob and Hud in store, hiding and saying "it's alive."
Windows crash
Hazmat camp, Marlena being taken.
More code. Hazmat scrub down?
Evacuating to helicopters
Armed soldiers with Night vision
Cloverfield Monster walks past buildings.
City in ruins
Fleeing medical area after something crashes near ceiling
Escape with soldier
Rob has some gunk on his shirt.
Entering Hazmat/Military tent
Donuts and tanks. Soldiers on the attack.
Running to safety in subway.
Hud goes down
Noises heard in subway
Fleeing dark hallway
