So, what's your take on this movie? There hasn't been much to go on about it, but it seems to be really popular. This is a little article from IGN.
On Thursday, July 26, 2007, J.J. Abrams appeared at San Diego Comic-Con during the Paramount Pictures panel to discuss his yet-untitled monster movie, which pundits are currently calling Cloverfield. Specifically, Abrams talked about his motivations for making the film, and hinted at its actual title.
"This is going to be really quick," Abrams said to the capacity crowd. "I just want to say I want a monster movie. I want a great monster movie. I've wanted a monster movie for so long, and I was in Japan a year ago with my son who is eight, and all he wanted to do was go to toy stores - so I know he's my son. And we went to the store and there were still all of these Godzillas, and I thought we need our own monster. We need a monster movie - not like King Kong. I love King Kong - King Kong is adorable - and Godzilla is a charming monster, but I wanted something that was just insane and intense.
"So we decided to make this movie and we're making it for you now, and it's almost done shooting," Abrams continued. "I watch dailies and I'm more excited about the movie itself than the trailer, which has gotten an amazing response and I can't thank you enough."
Abrams teased the audience with a laundry list of things to expect prior to the film's release. "We have six months before this movie comes out, which is a long time," he said. "So in the coming months you're going to get a whole bunch of things: you're going to get the real trailer, you're going to get the real poster, you're going to get to see footage from the movie, and you'll get the real title. I won't give you that today," he said to a disapproving crowd. "Do you think we'll call it Monstrous? No," he said definitively, indicating that a possible title that recently appeared online was incorrect.
