"Untitled J.J. Abrams Project (2008)"

read this in a mail out i does read:

• ARG-heads who emptied their mini fridges of energy drink during the Year Zero odyssey for Nine Inch Nails are stocking up again after a mysterious trailer running prior to the Transformers movie showed little but a party that descends into chaos as New York is attacked followed by a URL based on the release date, 1/18/08 (http://www.1-18-08.com/), of a film codenamed Cloverfield.
As if JJ Abrams wasn't enough of a sci-fi heartthrob already, having masterminded Lost, he's moving towards the geek Tiger Beat crown at the helm of this one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1060277/). Speculation about the film is at the brushfire level as folks scramble to make sense of mysterious character Ethan Haas (was he right (http://ethanhaaswasright.com/) or wrong (http://ethanhaaswaswrong.blogspot.com/)?) and decode puzzles related to some ancient mysticism flim-flam. The reality we'd like to believe at this point is the film will star none other than noble Lovecraftian destroyers the Cthulhu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu), wrecking havoc on mankind, but until we hear anything official we're jotting down clues in a special notebook (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necronomicon).


the internet is so cool

edit also - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverfield:

[edit] Marketing
Due to Transformers showing high tracking numbers before its release, Paramount decided to release a teaser for "Cloverfield" before the robot film to build hype. The teaser footage is shot with a hand-held camera to emulate a home-movie style. The teaser did not reveal the name of the film, but it showed a release date of January 18, 2008 for the film. It is not known if the film will carry the same style. The teaser was leaked onto YouTube by people who recorded it with camcorders, but Paramount invoked its copyright claim to have the links removed.[1] Paramount eventually made the teaser trailer available to the public at Apple.com.

Following the teaser's release, USA Today reported the hype among moviegoers regarding the lack of title in its screening and the background of the film itself. Paramount was also reported to have published puzzle websites such as EthanHaasWasRight.com in a viral marketing campaign to promote the film.[2] Based on the sites, the film was speculated to be about Cthulhu, due to the puzzles possessing Lovecraftian themes.[3] Other reported speculation included a Voltron film adaptation, a new Godzilla film or a Lost TV spin-off.[2] A Paramount spokesperson said that the studio was unfamiliar with the URL of the Ethan Haas Was Right website. An e-mail sent from producer JJ Abrams to Ain't It Cool News confirmed that the Ethan Haas websites had no connection to the project whatsoever. The Star Ledger also reported the "seemingly official" website www.1-18-08.com to have pixilated snapshots of people possibly from the film.[4] Paramount sources have refrained from any direct comment with the media about the film.[2]

J.J. Abrams sent a letter to Ain't It Cool News which declares that www.1-18-08.com is one of the official sites, implying there are more yet to be found. It also states that this movie has nothing to do with any of the Ethan Haas sites.[5]
