I think it isn't the best ever, 'cause I hope JJ Abrams won't stop amuse us with his mysteries.

But at the moment, it's imho the best movie marketing.

sorry dudes, not to burst the fanboy bubble going on, but this is far from GREATEST EVER. Titanic holds that record, and shall for some time. Over a Billion bucks grossed Worldwide is far beyond what Cloverfield can accomplish I'm afraid...

yeah...no worries...working in the film industry for 4 years doesn't make me a rookie. Your "marketing" is JUDGED by the amount of money you gross. And, trust me, if you lived anywhere outside the US during Titanic, you saw it everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE. Besides, take 4 or 5 people off the street if you were to compare the way both have been marketed. Then ask those people which one they've heard of. There are still a LOT of people who don't know a THING about Cloverfield, and couldn't care less. Titanic, on the other hand, had a HUGE marketing plan, that, as much as I hate to say it, ultimately "pwns" this underground-stuff us geeks are into.

I guess the reason why I like it and posted this thread is because most marketing is forced at you (even now the closer we get to the opening more and more commercials are popping up for Cloverfield, even though the mystery is still there, it sucks because now it's being forced at us). Why I think this is great marketing is that it gets the viewer involved. Just like the wii, now kids have to get off their ass and play (yeah it's still a video game, but you get the point). It's not like, ok...you see the trailer, you see the commercials, you go to the website to signup for a free giveaway and then you see the movie. Here, yes those not all wrapped up can still enjoy the movie with just those basics, but this movie generates dialog (i.e...Like we are having now...funny thing when I had dialog with people about Titanic, I was like why would I want to see that, I know the ending...the boat sinks! When I eventually saw it on DVD, I do agree great movie, but I wasn't compelled to see it right away). All I'm saying is that this movie draws people from around the world to work together to better the movie going experience. Regardless of the movies outcome either blockbuster or just busted, I still will enjoy my time playing Nancy....errr Nathan Drew.
