JJ Abrams has got me again
I spent an hour or so this morning running through the promotional site for Cloverfield. Trailer below. The link above is to the mysterious end site you find at the end of the puzzles for the movie. I assume the date is the release date for the film. Supposedly, Cloverfield is a cover for the real name of the film.
If you haven’t heard about the movie yet, you probably haven’t seen the trailer at the beginning of Transformers. You can read a lot more about it in the post from Moriarty over at Ain’t It Cool News in which he points out all the exclusive information he gained about the film that is now being passed off as exclusives by many other journalists–especially one member of the media.
The breaking news post by Moriarty can be found here.
The trailer was completely mysterious, but the basic premise for the movie appears to be some kind of parasite attacking the city as seen through a handy cam camera view. The actors were not even shown the script until they were fully on board and on set.
If you want to do all the puzzles on the wonderfully well-designed promotional website, hit it up here at www.ethanhaaswasright.com. The puzzles are amazingly addictive once you get through the first one.
I’m not gonna lie. I cheated myself to get through them faster. You can check out text walkthrough here or a very well done video walkthrough on YouTube. The video was more helpful for me and offers some analysis.
You also might find the image below helpful. I made it myself to help with a lot of translations. The alien/parasite language or whatever it is takes some time to recognize.
I can’t believe the site captivated me so much, but I guess it is meant to capture your attention. The site is definitely some great work by some very creative PR folks working with JJ Abrams. Can’t wait to see what the movie turns out like with all this hype already beginning to build.Oh. I forgot to mention that the site/movie is supposedly not related to “Lost” in any way, shape or form, so get that out of your head right now.
