For those of you enjoying (or not enjoying, as my friend Jason told me that not only is it anti-Jesus (doing away with heroes) but also there is a distinct lack of “beating you to death with your own severed arm”) the Beowulf rendition by Zemeckis, there’s a new Cloverfield trailer attached to the front.
Here’s the video.
More handicam fun and more pictures of the destruction.
Robert Hopkins leaves a message for someone else who knows what’s up, and some shots from the polaroids are lived out.
Convenience store being thrashed, national guard firing tracers into the sky, and…
They actually list Cloverfield as the title. (Dreadfully mysterious!)
The message displayed on the screen:
Multiple sightings of case designate “Cloverfield” camera retrieved at incident site U.S. 447 Area formally known as “Central Park”
Is that an iPhone Robert holds up to the mirror?
His recorded message:
My name is Robert Hopkins. And possibly seven hours ago something attacked the city. If you found this and you’re watching it then you know more about it than I do.
People evacuating and then guy on phone:
Hello? Beth? Where are you?
People running. Woman yells, “Do not go into the middle of the city!”
“Whatever it is, it’s winning.”
“People are gonna wanna know how it all went down.”
Those soldiers are firing up at something big.
And what monster movie doesn’t have a headless Statue of Liberty and a mass transit vehicle getting jacked?

Next weekend, we’re going down to Salt Lake to pick a friend up from the airport, and then we’re going to see Beowulf in 3-D. I’m hoping we’ll get the new Cloverfield trailer.
Wow, now I’m trying to remember- was the last movie I saw in theaters also from Neil Gaiman? Have I seen anything since Stardust? I’m not sure…
If I do see it, Jason recommended the 3-D because there are some specific shots where you’re like, “Oh! The camera is weird flying over the bridge but it’s cool ’cause it’s 3-D.”
It reminds of Dan Akyroyd as the janitor in the 3-D movie, pointing his mop at the screen.
Now on Apple
Looks cool. I can’t wait to see it.
The last trailer actually did what it was supposed to do. Get me hyped about seeing it without giving me much more information.
