New trailer last night

Kinda surprised its not being discussed here

Everything We've Figured Out

hmmm.
Not sure I like they showed "something" at the end there. I liked the idea of to trust or not trust Goodman? But apparently there is something for sure outside of the bunker.

It has begun...

/FILM / '10 Cloverfield Lane' Viral Begins To Reveal Backstory Connections To 'Cloverfield'

Agreed. I loved the mystery of the teaser trailer. It was pitch perfect. The Super Bowl was way too much.

But now that the cat's out of the bag, apparently...

io9 / 'Everything We've Figured Out About the Mysterious 10 Cloverfield Lane'

I've rapidly lost interest in this movie. Although with some slick editing, I bet you could use the footage of John Goodman and make it seem like this is a sequel to Raising Arizona.

Should I read this stuff? I kind of want to see the movie not knowing anything... Or is it going to be enhanced by following along with the marketing campaign?

When it came to Cloverfield, all the viral stuff had zip to do with the final movie, though this time around it seems to provide background on one of the characters.

I do not believe reading any of the above links will enhance your intrigue. If anything it will spoil some stuff.

Yeah, I usually don't follow viral campaigns. Didn't for Cloverfield and I doubt I will for this one. I just remember people going ape sh*t for the former, so I figured I'd get the ball rolling here again in case anyone is interested.

Why?

Because it looks boring to me.

Oh okay, but you had interest before? I was just curious what made you lose it. I didn't watch the 2nd trailer yet, but it sounds like maybe I shouldn't.

I had interest when it looked like it had something to do with the monster, and lost interest when it looks like it's 3 people in a bunker, one of whom is a nutjob.

Except that the latest trailer features a loud, distinctive roar and what looks to be a giant monster rising from behind the house...

This.

If anything, the new trailer makes it look more sci-fi/monster-y than the first one.

I think the problem is from the trailers we've seen... a car accident.... scenes where she is chained up... scenes where she is allowed to walk around without the younger guy, scenes with the younger guy (dinner), her crawling through a ventilation shaft, the place being on fire...

Assuming all those scenes contain at least a few minutes of dialogue, we're talking 45+ minutes of the film before we even get to her actually getting the door open.

If it really is a monster movie, there's going to be very little scenes with the actual monster.

Based on the "monsters come in many forms" tagline, I think it's safe to say that the movie is mainly about the characters in the bunker and not the "monster" outside.

That's not a problem to me - quite the opposite. I'd rather see a humans-are-metaphorically-monsters-in-a-world-with-actual-monsters movie, than a humans-surviving-monsters movie.

This. Exactly.

Just like Signs is not really about Aliens.

I enjoy that movie way more than most people, I'm pretty sure.

/Film / "You're Not Going Crazy: That New '10 Cloverfield Lane' Trailer Contains Several Subliminal Images"

I love that we know nothing, and that we only had to wait a really short time to see it.

I wish more movies did this type of marketing / secrecy.

I'm preparing myself.

I'm going to go into this movie with the assumption that it's NOT going to be a monster movie, but maybe a movie set within the realm of a monster movie. Kinda like.....there's a monster out there (like the first Cloverfield monster), but what the movie follows is how some people who are far away from the creature react to that startling fact.

Like Tim Robbin's character in "War of the Worlds" if that farmhouse he was hiding in was far removed from the alien invasion instead of right in the middle of it.

That way, I can be pleasantly surprised if a monster shows up but if one doesn't, I won't feel like I was mislead or ripped off. Really, I'm going to see this because John Goodman looks fascinating and I'd watch him in anything.

im really frustrated with the lack of discussion on this on here leading up to the release. i love this board because peole here seem to be really good at discussing and analyzing movies and such.

Same as clover field the movie. Not much out there for it. Clover field at least had viral websites. This doesn't look like it does

This is an odd comment to me. You were pretty upset and "frustrated", calling people obtuse, etc., on the Better Call Saul thread earlier too.

Everything okay? Might be time to take a break from the board?

That was frustration with the dude being obtuse imo, this is more me being bummed that all the movie philes aren't talking about it like in the deadpool thread. Thanks for the wellness check though, pal.

What exactly is there to talk about? The movie is shrouded in secrecy. Nobody even knew about it until like a month ago... Personally I love the mystery. I'm seeing it tomorrow and love that I don't know anything about it.


Plus Deadpool was a long brewing project, about a well known and popular Marvel character, that had one of the most extensive and best marketing campaigns in recent years. It drove conversation and obviously did the trick.

Dude... I think Greasen is right. Might be time to take a little break.

Speaking of being obtuse, I don't know what you are not understanding. There is nothing to discuss, because there is nothing out there on this movie.
