Best Movie Marketing Ever

Jul 07, 2007 13:08

So before the transformers movie there is a trailer for a unnamed JJ Abrams movie (right now it's going under the name "Cloverfield") The cool thing is, just like Lost, there are secret sites and trails around the internet with clues about the movie.

There is the site 1-18-08.com which used to have just one picture of two faces (some think it's Read more... )

holy. yes, i'm very excited about this. i saw transformers last night and that trailer knocked my socks off.. i had first thought 'godzilla' or something similar because the people at the party were talking about japan.. but now i don't know what to think.. thanks for the info about the secret online stuff.. did you see that you can move the two pictures around? where's this demon? i couldn't find it.

This kind of thing can be fun, but it almost never lives up to the hype, and hopefully doesn't create a backlash where it fails. I love Lost still even after it has gone a bit downhill, but when enjoying the show/movie becomes more like work, that's when i stop being as interested. I'd heard somewhere that Drew Goddard was the one doing the script for Watchmen, but i could be wrong. Also, not Godzilla, but close, Destroy All Monsters, or a type of remake of it is something i heard. Hopefully when more is revealed, we all dont go "oh, that's it?"

I have high hopes for it. Plus all this mystery stuff is fun regardless of how the movie turns out.

Don't get me wrong, i love games of all kinds, more so ARGs. I just remember the fiasco that was the Godzilla remake where they were so firm on keeping how he looked secret and the movie blew. :P I'm not expecting Citizen Cane, i can enjoy the stupidest of movies, I just want a good disaster/monster movie again so badly. ;)
