Pretty cool example of the Cloverfield viral marketing kicking into high gear for the movie’s premier on January 18.
Several videos have been found online that “seem” to be news reports from various countries (Spain, Germany) showing the destruction of a Tagruato Oil Rig Platform.
Check out Project Cloverfield’s coverage for translations of the videos.
Wizard Entertainment’s website wizarduniverse.com has a nice interview with director Louis Leterrier. He reveals a few details about the 2008 film “The Incredible Hulk” starring Edward Norton, Tim Roth and Liv Tyler but the best revelation is near the end of the interview.
Is there any way you can get that sad “walking away†music from the end of each episode into the film?
LETERRIER: Actually, yeah. We got the rights so that’ll be in the movie. The composer is Joe Harnell. “Dah dah dah…†Let me play it for you. Hold on, I’ve got it. Listen. [Plays sad Hulk music] That’s the one! [Laughs]
There you go. The “Lonely Man” Theme by composer Joe Harnell will be in the 2008 film “The Incredible Hulk.” How cool is that?
I thought the first Hellboy movie was ok. The characters were good and the story was acceptable, but it just didn’t have that Hellboy feel to it. It wasn’t mystical or odd enough. Based on the trailer, I think the second film will deliver. I especially like how the trailer starts and doesn’t even show the title character until half-way through.
Very cool little preview for Cloverfield. Go ahead and “Grab This” on the preview to help me out in the contest. Only 43 grabs to get in the top 20 right now.
Slusho! just released a new commercial and as I was digging around the Slusho! site, I searched for some of the other names and terms I saw. It turns out there is a huge viral campaign, very similar to what’s happening for the Dark Knight, for Cloverfield.
Digging around all of the sites, you start to get an idea about the Cloverfield movie and what it may all be about. It all seems very Godzilla like to me (which isn’t a bad thing).
Scientist discover a new (and tasty) organism underwater and begin to experiment and develop things with it. A trigger such as this could easily mutate something (maybe a whale – mentioned many times on the Slusho! site) to gigantic proportions. The organisms within the Slusho! drink –which must remain frozen to stay fresh– could have disastrous effects after long term gestation in a person (the exploding person in the Cloverfield trailer). I managed to find the following sites that are all related to Cloverfield:
After I had done a lot of digging, I stumbled upon ProjectCloverfield.com, which has done a great job of logging and following all the viral clues. Definitely a site to keep up with, at least until the film comes out.
