Cloverfield Poster

Here is the poster for the yet, maybe, unnamed film by Lost and Alias creator J. J. Abrams. The name is not Monstrous as would be implied by the poster. Right now, everyone is calling the film Cloverfield, the code name for the film's production life. The film will be released on January 18, 2008.
I love this poster. It's very provocative and caught my attention immediately. Any time the Statue of Liberty has her head torn off, I'm interested in finding out what the heck happened there. This poster has the look of a teaser poster. Hopefully, a final release poster will appear closer to the film's release date that will be just as interesting.
The plot to the film is tippy top secret, but the teaser trailer, which was attached to the beginning of Transformers earlier this summer, is also an attention grabber. If you haven't seen it, you can see it at Apple.com.
Already J. J. Abrams has started a viral advertising campaign. If you love Abrams' sense of mystery, you should check out the official website for the film at http://www.1-18-08.com. Also check out the Slusho website at http://www.slusho.jp. Both of them are weird websites of course. But what else would you expect from J. J. Abrams. There is no one else that can weave a mystery better than J. J.! I'm going to enjoy finding out about this movie. Let the games begin! Until next time! Off you go!
