Warner Bros. Neighborhood Memo Leaks “Cloverfield” Story Element That is Not Really Surprising
Living across the street from a major motion picture studio like I do, means you frequently get little notes in your mailbox explaining why tonight you might hear “simulated gunfire,” a “simulated helicopter crash,” or see smoke from a “simulated fire.” Rarely do these notes elaborate on what will burn or who’s getting shot. Which brings me to “Cloverfield” a.k.a. The Super Secret Untitled J.J. Abrams Project, the (totally awesome) teaser for which ran before Transformers and has resulted in much speculation about what’ll be attacking New York on 1-18-08 and how it will play out. Well, last week I got this note in my mailbox:
“…on Thursday July 12 and Friday, July 13 Paramount Pictures will be filming night scenes for their feature film, “Cloverfield,” on the Hennessy Street set on the Main Lot. The filming will simulate an army firefight – including gunfire (blanks) and explosions (powder flash). Any sound-related effects will be completed before 10:00 p.m.”
So there you go. “Cloverfield” will feature an “army firefight.” But those usually ensue after monsters attack New York. Sadly I was in Fargo so I have no report of how how it went down or if the locals heard the mysterious roar.

I just came to chime in and say… that’s an awesome graphic of the monster you have there!
Our work is done, it seems!

I agree, I hope and pray that the monster actually looks like that. I loves me some laser beams. Also, I dig the title graphic, cool Drinky Crow swag + cute kitty = I have a boner. Not really, but it is a pretty good photo.

I am now more interested than ever. I love the clover monster. Maybe he has come to NYC to shoot out 4 leaf clovers and lasers and bring the world good luck. But cruel humans that we are, we try to kill him instead! So, he gets pissed and eats the army. The End!
