Cloverfield and Heroes

OK, so below you will find the new trailer that is out for the upcoming J.J. Abrams picture “Cloverfield”. I would also recommend downloading the HD version at apple. In a note of marketing genius and possible cross over story telling it seems that Slusho (a make believe company that has direct ties in Cloverfield) is cross pollenating with the TV show Heroes. Now, no one really seems to know what the connection is but Greg Beeman (director/producer of Heroes) said this…

“Now, the next group of photos falls into the “don’t ask/don’t tell” category. I credit Greg Yaitanes for staging all these pix, under the supervision of Joe Pokaski. Their cultural significance will become clear in the coming months, so… pay attention!”

For those who are suckers like me go ahead and check out Beeman’s Blog to view said pictures. Enjoy the trailer, mark your calendars, and plan on going opening weekend with me.

It has been a while since I have actually looked forward to a movie, and by looking forward to I mean chomping at the bit, pee my pants excited. Granted J.J. Abrams is a hero to me and I think he is brilliant, but it’s also because I’m a big geek and I like that America will have it’s own monster movie that actually looks cool…and really who doesn’t like the big destruction of the world type movies?

The new trailer is showing in front of Beowulf and although there are a couple of bootlegged versions on-line right now I figured I would wait until Monday when it will be posted on iTunes. However, for those of you who have not yet seen the first trailer or for those that have forgotten about it I have posted it below. Just FYI I think that the below trailer was one of the most brilliant pieces of marketing ever for a movie..but that’s for a different post.
