Looks new to me.
This has me scratching my head a little:
Quote:
There is a YouTube film (below) documenting an elaborate theory between the Wolfmother song, "Woman," and it's connection to the name Cloverfield being chosen for the film. Tell us the real story behind the title Cloverfield?
When we started the project there was going to be an announcement in the trades. In this case, they wanted to keep everything under wraps. So the movie was going to be made under this outside corporation that was basically a property of Paramount. That corporation had a name that I don't know the name of. I think Clover was the first part of it. Maybe it was Cloverdale. When Drew [Goddard, LOST writer] was putting a name to the project, there was supposed to be a name for the project like there was for The Manhattan Project. So he said, "I am going to use that weird mysterious thing," and he misheard it. He didn't even understand that it wasn't Cloverfield, it was Cloverdale. Maybe that was because of the street by J.J.'s old office, but the truth is he just misunderstood it.

I think it's funny that we have spent alot of time here trying to disect what "Cloverfield" means
turns out it was a name ment to sound mysterious, but was actually misheard. hehehe this movie was supposed to be called something different.

MySpace is throwing Rob, the character in the movie, a surprise party in New York City if you're around (how meta of Paramount). If you win, you better be guaranteed that a space monster will attack during the party.
That should reopen a can of worms for speculation.

I remember coming home from shooting all day and I look online to see what the response has been to the trailer and I'm seeing that people have done a spectral analysis of the audio . They've got my voice and they're playing it slowly.

When I look at the message boards to see what's going on...
