Gotcha. Wasn't sure if it was the filmmakers giving it to us (don't read anything into that staetment) or if someone in the public came up with it. The question is, did they give it to us...
... from space?

Now that the movie trailer for the top secret JJ Abrams produced monster movie (tentatively titled Cloverfield) has been unleashed on the world, a big faction of the internet refuses to believe that it’s just another monster movie. Much of the speculation around the fanboy circles points to either another American Godzilla movie or a big screen live action Voltron film. Before we explore those two theories, let’s take a look at what we supposedly know so far.
JJ Abrams is producing
Long time Abrams collaborator Drew Godard (Lost, Alias, Angel, Buffy) wrote the script
Matt Reeves (The Pallbearer) is attached to direct
The whole film will be shot from the POv of consumer handheld video cameras
The monster or alien is being referred to as a “parasite”
The City is New York City
In the trailer they throw a going away party for a young man going to Japan
There is a Godzillaish roar in the background which sounds a little robotic
At the end it says In Theaters 1.18.2008
The trailer was shot before principal photography
As far as we know, they have not begun principal photography
JJ Abrams Bad Robot production company is making the film for Paramount Pictures
Some people are pushing the Voltron theory based on the idea that at around one minute and twenty seconds into the trailer, one of the kids yells “It’s a Lion!” But the truth of the matter is, he says “ahhh! It’s alive, It’s huge.” There is no “lion” spoken in the trailer.
The Godzilla faction has used this misquote to support a theory that the movie features Monster Zero (King Ghidorah), a Godzilla monster that looks like a lion, comes from space and shoots fire balls. One thing is for sure, it’s not Godzilla himself because “It” comes from the sky and can throw/spit/produce fireballs. And we must all remmber that a 3D Gozilla is currently also in production.
Others have speculated that the movie might be a remake of Gamera: The Guardian of the Universe. Gamera uses a fireball weapon which seems to fit the action shown in the trailer. But Gamera is virtually unknown by the American audience, so what is the point of using/buying his name property?
The screenwriter for Voltron has said the battle takes place in Manhattan, and that the monsters have parasitic qualities which allow them to regenerate themselves by combining with metal debris. Voltron also fought parasite monsters in the series. However, the Voltron rights still belong to Mark Gordon Productions, and involves a crew of producers that are supposedly not involved in Cloverfield. Mark Gordon Productions is also not a production company under Paramount.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

I'm 110% convinced that that's the case.
It's like The Blair Witch Project meets Godzilla.

Well, one monster movie is pretty much like all the others. You can only get so many original giant monster movies. Giant monster appears, destroy famous city,making sure to trash at least one major landmark, wash, rinse and repeat.

Whatever the movie is, I can tell you one thing - it's not worth the effort people are putting into trying to figure out what it is. They only do this to get people curious, so that they'll confuse "being curious about a movie" with "thinking the movie looks good".
they tried to do the same thing with Titan A.E. - with a stupid trailer and marketing campaign that showed you next to nothing. But it backfired and nobody saw the film and it bankrupted the animation company that produced it... and, oh yeah, the movie sucked ass.
by this time next year everyone will be looking back and saying "man, I can't believe I was so excited for this movie when that freaky trailer came out... all of that excitement and it just turned out to be some stupid *blank* movie..."
...
It reminds me of that commercial for "Gabbo" in the Simpsons, anyone remember that? The commercial is just an announcer saying "Gabbo, Gabbo, Gabbo!" - nobody knows what it is, or what it's about, but everybody loves it for some reason...
... then they find out it's a puppet...
WAIT! I GOT IT!
"Cloverfield" is actually "Gabbo: The Movie"!!!
He says 'It's alive, it's huge"
http://www.seibertron.com/forums/viewto ... =9545&sid= This is the thread that is discussing this..
I have listened and watched this trailer multiple times with headphones on and he does not say "it's a lion"..
They are not going to make a movie as "high profile" movie like Voltron or the Hulk with the perspective of hand held cameras...
