FAKE.

Clever, but fake.

No doubt about it. The whole thing, from the acting, the dialogue, the 'effects' - with all due respect to the people behind this, it's too amateur. Again, all due respect - it's impressive for being a fake, but it's absolutely, positively, and most definitely: Fake.


I absolutely, positively and most definitely agree! Razz

Like others have said, it's ok to come out with Fan art and keep us entertained while we wait for the real thing. Just please label it as Fan art instead of faking it.

You'll get more platitudes that way.

You guys bring up great points. I was holding on to it being Jill Scott. I still think it might be, but if it isn't then they had a great double on hand. Props to them for that much.

FAKE! Surprised

But an "A" for effort!

For those still in doubt:





You can see from this screen shot of the REAL trailer, the NY1 graphics are all wrong:

  • the spacing is bad, especially around the time and "breaking news"
  • the fonts are the wrong typeface (especially the 69°, and the 1 in NY1)
  • the blue colors don't match
  • the yellow borders shouldn't go under "breaking news"

My favorite 1-18-08 website brings cold hard facts to the table.

I still say the woman bears an uncanny resemblance to Jill Scott, but I'm being convinced that it's a farce more and more as new posts come in. Between this and Buck_Compton's hoax, it's a little cool to see that this film is bringing out a creative side in its fans...

Very good job. Attention to detail indeed.

The temp has gone up 6 degrees in 1.5 hrs in the middle of the night, and yet she's still wearing a vest.

Can i give a special mention for acting prowess to the girl, who also is covered in flour, stumbling by the camera while the flour covered dude is being interviewed.

What shall we call these awards for cheesy fakes. The Pillsbury award? For those allergic.. the gluten free flour award?

A great job. indeed. Really though, how the hell are poeple saying this is Jill Scott from NY1. Some even say they watch the show. Sorry Guys but this isn't Jill Scott or any other NY1 reporter. Oh yeah and you can see the huge color difference. Yellow guys not Orange. Very Happy

Jill Scott (Actuall NY1 Footage)


Not Jill Scott (Actual Fake trailer Footage)


Still a wicked High Five for all your hard work. Must have taken a few days to put all this together. Razz

heres jill scott matched up with the apparent jill scott look alike.


there's some definite similarities but my guess is that it's not her.

How about "The Spoofies"!

And the Spoofie award for best dramatic reading of a fake Cloverfield news story goes to...

Many Bothans died to bring us this trailer...

Well, if cloverfieldclues says it's fake, ...

Minor font/graphic details, however, don't necessarily disqualify it. Bad acting doesn't either. But it's enough to put me back on the fence. Which is okay. That said, the real news is I found the video by checking my blog. So, read my blog!
