Two weeks ago I brought you the exclusive description of the trailer for and the title of the JJ Abrams produced monster movie being released on 1-18-08. I told you that the film was called Cloverfield. I walked you through the trailer scene by scene. Now the trailer is debuting in front of Beowulf, and people who have seen early screenings are reporting back, and all I can say is:
Told you so.
Interestingly, I was on the Paramount lot tonight seeing Margot at the Wedding. Cloverfield was playing at the Sherry Lansing Theater, directly beneath the screening room I was in. The explosions, roars and stomps from that movie kept shaking my seat throughout the 97 minute Margot. The audience from Cloverfield was still hanging around when I got out, but I couldn’t get anyone to spill any beans – after all, the crowd was executives and people involved with the film.
