Possible Cloverfield 2 viral start?

Okay so this is the news and rumors section hence me putting this here to begin with... I am personally doubting this has anything [to do] specifically w/ Abrams or CF2 but it's worth a look.

To note... Both "Getthebigpicture.net" AND Fangoria are interested in this video which IMO seems to be 'fan made' and with the
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
obvious "street sign" reading Cloverfield
I'm pretty sure it's not legit but I discount nothing tbh.

So anyway here it is, take a look for yourself.

Cloverfield 2 video??

This video was sent to all the movie news blogs like FirstShowing, SlashFilm, etc., that's the only reason it's gotten press (they tweeted it). Cloverfield 2 viral wont start until there is a trailer, which there probably never will be. And it wont start through an email to a bunch of blogs.

Why this continues to get press, I don't know. It's obviously fake, I've done better film editing on Windows Movie Maker.

But, I suppose, I could be wrong. Laughing

Hmm... Sorry to say, but I have also a fake feelings... I mean... they won't use "Cloverfield" word in the viral promotion to "Cloverfield" (if there would be seen Slusho!, I'd be more impressed (use it, dear faker Smile)

Btw, which language is it? it is not Japanese, beside of the clip title "そこに何ですか?", which sounds for me also not really Japanese. I'd say either "それが何ですか?", or "そこに何があるの?" or so...

What gives you this impression? CF2 has already been confirmed.

And not true... Viral's do not always wait until trailers to begin. D-9 Didn't.

There really hasn't been a 'hard' confirmation of a Cloverfield 2 (sequel), just innuendo and intimations. When a director or producer says they are 'working on some ideas' that just means they are trying to sustain some buzz for the health of their career, and could mean they are just trying to create their 'next great project'.

As for a viral before D-9's 'trailer', do you count the short film Alive in Joberg as a 'trailer'? It is the origin of it all, more than 2 years before the viral.

I'm almost positive this is a fake. The video was poorly done, I don't think they will use the same gimmick of "cloverfield" being recorded over something already there, and why they would show you the whole monster (not moving by the way) when it took a whole movie just to get a glimpse of it is beyond me. I'm glad that someone wants to drum up buzz for a possible (and hopefully eventually realized) Cloverfield 2, but I just wish they would have done a better job. But my paranoid nature says that maybe it was supposed to look fake. I can't think of why, but you never know.

Also, Kosmopol makes a good point, the thing that most convinces me of this being a fake is the lack of representation from Slusho. That was a big part of the marketing for the first Cloverfield and was never really explained well enough in my opinion so why would they get rid of it. Slusho will probably be the identifying mark of anything Cloverfield related. Still a good find though. Appreciate it because I loved Cloverfield.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa...hahah...oh yes that was a bad film. I would hope the people who make a C2 game would make a better vid. I vote fake. Though it would be fun to have another game for good ol Clover. Maybe some sort of slusho zombies? ha who knows...hahahaha

Slusho! is the mark of anything Abrams-related, really.
