\nMovie buffs, and those who remember the Alternate Reality Game that was used to promote Spielberg’s A.I. (and which was, in many ways, better than the film it promoted) may wish to check out this site<\/a> related to a new movie by J.J. Abrams (codenamed “Cloverfield”).
\nIt ties in to a trailer that screened in the U.S. before Transformers, and which didn’t name a title, only a release date. No official version is on the web yet, but here’s a bootleg EDIT: link is dead.
\nCuriously, this promotional effort arrived on the scene around the same time as the mysterious web-puzzles surrounding Ethan Haas<\/a>. No-one’s sure whether Haas is part of the Cloverfield promotion or just came online at the same time. Haas includes a bunch of references to Lovecraftian lore, however, and that combined with the panic-in-the-streets has some excited movie nerds interpreting the mysterious trailer as Statue of Liberty getting pwned by C’thulhu. See much discussion here<\/a>, for starters. Me, I have no time to pursue this – someone tell me what it all means when the truth comes out, willya?
\nEDIT: I felt like watching the trailer again and the above link has been pulled, but the official trailer site is now up here<\/a>. Much better sound and visuals. Key line of dialogue now audible: “I saw it, it’s alive, it’s huge!”

\nThere is now a copy of Pride & Prejudice on my bed. Also a copy of David Mamet’s book of Hollywood insider revelations + screenwriting advice. Also the novel and the autobiography I’m already reading. Also way too many books on action research and group dynamics from the Victoria University Library. It feels like coming home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
