Figured I'd start this for the hell of it, as some showings of Transformers showed the trailer beforehand, others didn't.

This is JJ Abrams new project (he's a producer rather) and it appears to be a middle to low budget movie set in Manhattan shot through first person by people on the street. Its set to come out on 1.18.2008 as of now.

I'll just say it sounds similar to the korean movie .

Kudama?

The best part of seeing the trailer was the "WTF" reaction to the trailer by the Transformer crowd.

This did show in some of the DLP showings, by the way.

Damn I got jipped.

How come this is still classified as "untitled" on IMDB and the trailer doesn't even show a title... pretty cool trailer and anything with JJ Abrams attached will get me in the theatre.

it seemed really cool. alot of wtf reactions in my theater also. first i was like, "another roland emmerich movie".

The movie is supposed to look like home video. The amateur cam plus CGI has been done to death though. Not entirely surprised they decided to make a full length movie.

This movie came outta nowhere! It is released on January 18th, and there is no cast/director/crew info on IMDB. The trailer doesn't even give a title for the movie. It is produced by JJ Abrams and written by Drew Goddard, a writer for Lost. Looks like an end of the world type film.

Oh, also - Looks awesome!

The trailer was posted on YouTube, but it hasn't been released officially, so this one was taped inside of a movie theater. If that is not allowed to be linked to, just delete the link, but for now I'm putting it up because I think this trailer looks great and people should watch it.

Yeah, the trailer intrigued me a lot. I kept thinking some sort of Godzilla type movie, but it never really shows the threat so it could be anything. That is what I call a teaser trailer. I look forward to hearing more about this movie. Oh, and I was at a DLP showing.

I like the idea of the handheld camera with special effects. It's definitely different for a full length movie. It's also a good way to make the special effects look more realistic. I wonder if Cloverfield is going to be the official name or if they'll change it once it gets closer to coming out. There seems to be a lot of secrecy with this movie, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did change it.

I'll third that my Transformers crowd had a "WTF?" reaction.

Mine did also

This looks like an awesome movie though.

The website's up.

Cloverfield is a code name. It's the name of a street or something on the studio lot. The title will not be Cloverfield.

Boy that website is pretty incredible.

There was a bootleg copy of the trailer on youtube last night. Looks pretty interesting.

Glad I saw this thread before I went today, so I knew what it was when I saw it. It had no name in the trailer. Just JJ Abrams and 1/18/08. didn't even recognize any actors.

Looks like Blair Witch Project meets Godzilla.

the same at my Transformers showing . all the people sitting behind my friend and I pretty much yelled it out. "WTF was that?"

it looks like it could be interesting. (semi-biased because I'm a big JJ fan)

Did the guy in trailer say "...it's a lion and it's huge"? It sure sounded like that.

Seeing "BAD ROBOT" showing first "I said to myself... What? Lost in big screen?"

Boy I was wrong...

Its unexpected and the audience where like WTF?

it seems that Paramount is vigilant enough to pull out any bootlegged trailers from the net.

I guess "From Matt Reeves, creator of FELICITY" wouldn't carry the same kind of street cred with the kids...

Who else is so iffy about J.J Abrams projects these days that they think he produced the first 23 minutes before leaving it up to the rest of his crew to finish it out?
