Cloverfield is a 2008 monster/horror film directed by Matt Reeves, produced by J. J. Abrams and written by Drew Goddard. Before the film's release Paramount Pictures carried out a viral marketing campaign to promote the film. The campaign included viral tie-ins similar to Lost Experience.[5] The film follows five young New Yorkers attending a going-away party on the night that a gigantic monster attacks the city. First publicized within a teaser trailer in screenings of Transformers, the film was released on January 17 in New Zealand and Australia, on January 18 in North America, on January 24 in South Korea and on February 1 in Ireland, in the UK and in Italy.

Rob's best friend Hudson "Hud" Platt (T. J. Miller) is given a camera by Jason and the responsibility of recording final goodbyes from family and friends at the party, but instead unsuccessfully flirts with his crush, Marlena (Lizzy Caplan). Beth arrives with a date, Travis (Ben Feldman), which upsets Rob. To his dismay, he realizes Hud is taping over footage of him and Beth, including their trip to Coney Island, which shows up intermittently throughout the film.

While Hud and Jason try to talk to Rob, a brief blackout occurs, and the building shakes. A loud guttural roar can be heard emanating from outside as there is a blackout throughout the city. When the power returns, everyone turns on the local news, where the anchor explains that there was an earthquake and an oil tanker has capsized in the bay off Lower Manhattan. Curious partygoers and apartment dwellers go up to the roof to spot the disaster, where they witness an explosion in Lower Manhattan. As fire and debris begin to rain down, the partygoers flee to the street below. The head of the Statue of Liberty, damaged and charred, crashes down into the street beside them. Hud is able to record a glimpse of what seems to be a giant monster moving through the city. The Woolworth Building collapses in its wake, causing Rob, Jason, Hud and Lily to take refuge in a nearby convenience store while the creature passes, causing hefty damage to the streets around the store. After the confusion and panic, the streets fall silent, and the group finds Marlena outside, obviously shaken by the events, who mentions that she saw the monster eating people.

"Clover" terrorises New York.

As the group are trekking through the largely deserted streets to Beth’s apartment, they are suddenly caught in a crossfire between the monster and the United States Military, who are attacking the creature with various armoured fighting vehicles and infantry units. The friends barely manage to escape into the Spring Street subway station, although Hud is able to catch a glimpse of the monster's face. After a long while of hiding, the group decides to go through the subway tunnels to reach Beth's apartment. In the tunnels they are attacked by several parasites; one parasite grabs Hud and tries to drag him away, but Marlena manages to fend it off with a pipe, only to be attacked and bitten by another parasite. The group flees and takes refuge in a Transit Authority office. Marlena and Hud have an intimate conversation when looking at her bites. The group escapes into the abandoned Bloomingdale's via the 59th Street subway station, and are engaged by Sergeant Pryce and a squad of infantry, who has taken cover inside the department store and set up a field hospital and command center to treat the hundreds of wounded people while coordinating the military response. Marlena begins to bleed from her bodily orifices. When she is revealed to have been bitten, two men in hazmat suits grab Marlena and take her behind a curtain while Lily, Rob and Hud are grabbed by soldiers and taken away. Hud turns to film at the curtains, just in time to see Marlena's stomach expand and explode. Rob and the others don't have much time to grieve as Sergeant Pryce allows them back up to the streets, but warns them to report to a military evacuation site before 6:00 a.m., which is when the last helicopter evacuates Manhattan and the military will enact its 'Hammerdown' protocol, which will allow for the sacrifice of Manhattan if necessary to kill the monster and its parasites.

The group continues to Beth's apartment at Time Warner Center, finding her tower partially collapsed into the adjacent building. The three climb the standing tower and cross onto the roof of Beth's building and work their way down to her apartment. Beth is found trapped, impaled on a piece of rebar. After the painful rescue, they make their way to an aerial evacuation site near Grand Central Terminal and encounter the monster once more, while the military continues to ineffectively attack it. At the landing zone, Lily is raced into a departing UH-1 helicopter without her friends. A few moments later- Rob, Beth and Hud are taken away in a second helicopter. In the helicopter, they see the monster carpet bombed by a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and it appears to be killed. Just as Hud begins hailing victory over the monster, it reaches up out of a cloud of smoke and attacks the helicopter. The helicopter crashes into a grassy clearing in Central Park. A single frame from the 1933 King Kong movie is inserted here, showing the giant ape being attacked by biplanes. The three survive the crash and hear a voice on the helicopter's radio warning of the Hammerdown protocol being effected in fifteen minutes, with the pilot telling anyone listening that if they can hear the air raid sirens going off, then they're in the blast zone and have only two minutes to hustle it out. Hud and Beth pull an injured Rob clear of the wreckage, but Hud returns to recover the camera, and as he does so, the monster appears above him. It examines Hud for a few moments before reaching down to eat him. The monster bites Hud in half and spits out his torso and the camera.

The pair take shelter under a bridge in Central Park as air raid sirens begin to blare in the distance, indicating that the "HammerDown" protocol is about to be put into effect. Rob and Beth quickly take turns leaving their last testimonies on camera, just as numerous explosions occur outside and the monster can be heard screaming.

The film cuts to Rob and Beth's Coney Island date, during which a distant object can be faintly and briefly seen falling from the sky into the ocean accompanied by a faint noise similar to that heard when the monster first arrives.[6] After the credits roll, a garbled radio sound clip can be heard.

Cast Notes

To prevent the leaking of plot information, instead of auditioning the actors with scenes from the film, scripts from Abrams' previous productions were used, such as television series Alias and Lost. Some scenes were also written specifically for the audition process, not intended for use in the film. Despite not being told the premise of the film, Lizzy Caplan stated that she accepted a role in Cloverfield solely because she was a fan of the Abrams-produced television series Lost, and her experience of discovering its true nature initially caused her to state that she would not sign on for a film in the future "without knowing full well what it is." She indicated that her character was a sarcastic outsider, and that her role was "physically demanding."[8] Alias was an American Spy-fi television series created by J. J. Abrams which was broadcast on ABC from September 30, 2001 to May 22, 2006, spanning five seasons. ... LOST redirects here. ...

The poster for Escape from New York (1981) inspired the scene of the severed head of the Statue of Liberty in Cloverfield

J.J. Abrams conceived of a new monster after he and his son visited a toy store in Japan while promoting Mission: Impossible III. He explained, "We saw all these Godzilla toys, and I thought, we need our own [American] monster, and not like King Kong. I love King Kong. King Kong is adorable. And Godzilla is a charming monster. We love Godzilla. But I wanted something that was just insane, and intense."[9][10] Abrams pays homage to King Kong approximately 67 minutes into the movie, just after the helicopter crashes. When the video of the camera breaks up, a quick scene from Coney Island is seen. This is followed by several still frames from the original King Kong movie. There are two other still frames in "pre-recorded" sequences, one from the movie Them! and one from The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms - these two movies are also cited in the credits. In February 2007, Paramount Pictures secretly greenlit Cloverfield, to be produced by Abrams, directed by Matt Reeves, and written by Drew Goddard. The project was produced by Abrams' company, Bad Robot Productions.[11] Image File history File links Download high resolution version (485x738, 263 KB)Escape from New York film poster File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

The severed head of the Statue of Liberty was inspired by the poster of the 1981 film Escape from New York, which had shown the head lying in the streets in New York. According to Reeves, "It's an incredibly provocative image. And that was the source that inspired producer J. J. Abrams to say, 'Now this would be an interesting idea for a movie.'"[12] Escape from New York is a 1981 science fiction/action film directed and scored by John Carpenter. ...


The film was titled Cloverfield from the beginning, but the title changed throughout production before it was finalized as the original title. Matt Reeves explained that the title was changed frequently due to the hype caused by the teaser trailer, "That excitement spread to such a degree that we suddenly couldn't use the name anymore. So we started using all these names like Slusho and Cheese.[13] And people always found out what we were doing!" The director said that "Cloverfield" was the government's case designate for the events caused by the monster, comparing the titling to that of the Manhattan Project. "And it's not a project per se. It's the way that this case has been designated. That's why that is on the trailer, and it becomes clearer in the film. It's how they refer to this phenomenon [or] this case," said the director.[14] The film's final title, Cloverfield, is the name of the exit Abrams takes to his Santa Monica office.[15][13] This article is about the World War II nuclear project. ... Santa Monica Pier Santa Monica is a coastal city located in Los Angeles County, California USA, by the Pacific Ocean, south of Pacific Palisades and Brentwood, west of Westwood, Los Angeles, and north of Venice. ...


One final title, Greyshot, was proposed before the movie was officially titled Cloverfield. The name Greyshot is taken from the archway that the two survivors take shelter under at the end of the movie. Director Matt Reeves said that it was decided not to change the title to Greyshot because the film was already so well known as Cloverfield.[16]


Filming

The casting process was carried out in secret, with no script being sent out to candidates. With production estimated to have a budget of $30 million, filming began in mid-June in New York.[11] One cast member indicated that the film would look like it cost $150 million, despite producers not casting recognizable and expensive actors.[8] Filmmakers used the Sony CineAlta F23 high-definition video camera to film nearly all of the New York exterior scenes.[17] Filming took place on Coney Island, with scenes being shot at Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park and the B&B Carousel.[18] Some interior shots were filmed on a soundstage at Downey, California, Bloomingdale's in the movie was actually filmed in an emptied Robinsons-May store in Arcadia, California while the outside scenes of Sephora and the electronics store were filmed in Downtown Los Angeles [19] Steven Sodebergh shooting Full Frontal. ...

The film was shot and edited in a cinéma vérité style,[20] to look like it was filmed with one hand-held camera, including jump cuts similar to ones found in home movies. T. J. Miller who plays Hud, has said in various interviews that he filmed a third of the movie and mostly half of it made it into the movie.[21] Director Matt Reeves described the presentation, "We wanted this to be as if someone found a Handicam, took out the tape and put it in the player to watch it. What you're watching is a home movie that then turns into something else." Reeves explained that the pedestrians documenting the severed head of the Statue of Liberty with the camera phones was reflective of the contemporary period. According to him: "Cloverfield very much speaks to the fear and anxieties of our time, how we live our lives. Constantly documenting things and putting them up on YouTube, sending people videos through e-mail – we felt it was very applicable to the way people feel now."[22] This article is about filmmaking. ...

Several of the filmmakers are heard but not seen in the film. The man yelling "Oh my God!" repeatedly when the head of the Statue of Liberty lands in the street is producer Bryan Burk, and director Matt Reeves voiced the whispered radio broadcast at the end of the credits.[16] Because the visual effects were incorporated after filming, cast members had to react to a non-existent creature during scenes, only being familiar with early conceptual renderings of the beast.[23] Artist Neville Page designed the monster, thoroughly creating a biological rationale for the creature, even if many of his ideas like "elongated, and articulated external esophagus" would not show up on screen.[24] The key idea behind the monster was that he was an immature creature suffering from "separation anxiety." This recalls real-life elephants who get frightened and lash out at the circus, because the director felt "there's nothing scarier than something huge that's spooked."[6] Bryan Burky Burk is an American television producer, born on 30 December 1968. ...

Marketing

Filmmakers decided to create a teaser trailer that would be a surprise in the light of commonplace media saturation, which they put together during the preparation stage of the production process. The teaser was then used as a basis for the film itself. Paramount Pictures encouraged the teaser to be released without a title attached, and the Motion Picture Association of America approved the move.[22] As Transformers showed high tracking numbers before its release in July 2007, the studio attached the teaser trailer for Cloverfield that showed the release date of January 18, 2008 but not the title.[11] A second trailer was released on November 16, 2007, which confirmed the title.[25] MPAA redirects here. ...

The studio had kept knowledge of the project secret from the online community, a cited rarity due to the presence of scoopers that follow upcoming films. The controlled release of information on the film has been observed as a risky strategy, which could succeed like The Blair Witch Project (1999) or disappoint like Snakes on a Plane (2006), the latter of which had generated online hype but failed to attract large audiences. Chad Hartigan of Exhibitor Relations Co. saw several issues with the potential of the film, including a lack of major stars, the underwhelming performance of Godzilla-style films in America, and the film's slated release in January, considered a "dumping ground for bad films."[26] Scoop is an informal term used in journalism. ...

Pre-release plot speculation

The sudden appearance of the untitled trailer for Cloverfield fueled media speculation over the film's plot. USA Today reported the possibilities of the film being based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft, a live-action adaptation of Voltron (based on a mis-interpretation of the trailer's line "It's alive!" as "It's a lion!"), a new film about Godzilla, or a spin-off of the TV show Lost.[27] The Star Ledger also reported the possibility of the film being based on Lovecraft lore or Godzilla.[28] The Guardian also reported the possibility of a Lost spin-off,[29] while Time Out reported that the film was about an alien called The Parasite.[30] IGN also backed the possibility of the same premise, with The Parasite rumored to be a working title for the film.[14] Online, Slusho and Colossus had also been discussed as possible titles.[31] Entertainment Weekly also disputed reports that the film would be about a parasite or a colossal Asian robot such as Voltron.[32] USA Today is a national American daily newspaper published by the Gannett Company. ...

As part of the viral marketing campaign, the drink Slusho! has served as a tie-in. The drink had already appeared in producer Abrams' previous creation, the TV series Alias.[36] Viral websites for Slusho! and a Japanese drilling company named Tagruato (タグルアト Taguruato?) were launched to add to the mythology of Cloverfield.[5] When Cloverfield was hosted at Comic-Con 2007, gray Slusho! t – shirts were distributed to attendees.[37] Fans who had registered at the Slusho! website for Cloverfield received e-mails of fictional sonar images before the film's release that showed a deep-sea creature heading toward Manhattan.[38] Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness, through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. ...

The director explained, "It's almost like tentacles that grow out of the film and lead, also, to the ideas in the film.

Due to its presentation as footage from a consumer digital recorder, Cloverfield has no film score, with the exception of the composition "ROAR! (Cloverfield Overture)" by Michael Giacchino that plays over the end credits.

Marc Savlov of The Austin Chronicle calls the film "the most intense and original creature feature I've seen in my adult moviegoing life […] a pure-blood, grade A, exultantly exhilarating monster movie." He cites Matt Reeves' direction, the "whip-smart, stylistically invisible" script and the "nearly subconscious evocation of our current paranoid, terror-phobic times" as the keys to the film's success, saying that telling the story through the lens of one character's camera "works fantastically well."[52] Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter called it "chillingly effective," praising the effects and the film's "claustrophobic intensity." He said that though the characters "aren't particularly interesting or developed," there was "something refreshing about a monster movie that isn't filled with the usual suspects."[53] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly said that the film was "surreptitiously subversive, [a] stylistically clever little gem," and that while the characters were "vapid, twenty-something nincompoops" and the acting "appropriately unmemorable," the decision to tell the story through amateur footage was "brilliant."[54] Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that the film is "pretty scary at times" and cites "unmistakable evocations of 9/11." He concludes that "all in all, it is an effective film, deploying its special effects well and never breaking the illusion that it is all happening as we see it."[55] The Austin Chronicle is an alternative weekly newspaper published every Thursday in Austin, Texas, United States. ...

Todd McCarthy of Variety called the film an "old-fashioned monster movie dressed up in trendy new threads," praising the special effects, "nihilistic attitude" and "post-9/11 anxiety overlay," but said, "In the end, [it's] not much different from all the marauding creature features that have come before it."[56] Scott Foundas of LA Weekly was critical of the film's use of scenes reminiscent of the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City and called it "cheap and opportunistic." He suggested that the film was engaging in "stealth" attempts at social commentary and compared this unfavorably to the films of Don Siegel, George A. Romero and Steven Spielberg, saying, "Where those filmmakers all had something meaningful to say about the state of the world and […] human nature, Abrams doesn't have much to say about anything."[57] Manohla Dargis in the New York Times called the allusions "tacky," saying, "[The images] may make you think of the attack, and you may curse the filmmakers for their vulgarity, insensitivity or lack of imagination," but that "the film is too dumb to offend anything except your intelligence." She concludes that the film "works as a showcase for impressively realistic-looking special effects, a realism that fails to extend to the scurrying humans whose fates are meant to invoke pity and fear but instead inspire yawns and contempt."[20] Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com calls the film "badly constructed, humorless and emotionally sadistic," and sums up by saying that the film "takes the trauma of 9/11 and turns it into just another random spectacle at which to point and shoot."[58] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune warned that the viewer may feel "queasy" at the references to September 11, but that "other sequences […] carry a real jolt" and that such tactics were "crude, but undeniably gripping." He called the film "dumb," but "quick and dirty and effectively brusque," concluding that despite it being "a harsher, more demographically calculating brand of fun," he enjoyed the film.[47] Bruce Paterson of Cinephilia described the film as "a successful experiment in style but not necessarily a successful story for those who want dramatic closure."

The DVD includes two alternate endings, which vary only slightly. The first alternate ending shows Rob and Beth exiting the Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue station instead of on the Ferris wheel and features different sirens in the background as Rob talks to the camera. In the second alternate ending, just after the final explosion, Beth can be heard screaming "Rob!", followed by a very brief clip of an unknown person looking at the camera (in the commentary, Matt Reeves said that it was one of the crew members) and brushing rubble off the lens. The film then ends with the original final clip of Rob and Beth on their Coney Island date recording themselves on the ferris wheel as the camera tape runs out, with two differences: there is no timestamp in the lower left hand corner of the screen, and there is an additional beeping tone symbolizing the end of the tape.[60] Alternate ending is a term used (usually in movies) to describe the ending of a story that was planned or debated but ultimately unused in favor of the actual ending. ...

At the premiere of the film, Matt Reeves talked about possibilities on how a sequel will turn out if the film succeeds.[63] According to Reeves, "While we were on set making the film we talked about the possibilities and directions of how a sequel can go.

There's a moment on the Brooklyn Bridge, and there was a guy filming something on the side of the bridge, and Hud sees him filming and he turns over and he sees the ship that's been capsized and sees the headless Statue of Liberty, and then he turns back and this guy's briefly filming him. In my mind that was two movies intersecting for a brief moment, and I thought there was something interesting in the idea that this incident happened and there are so many different points of view, and there are several different movies at least happening that evening and we just saw one piece of another.[6]

Reeves also points out that the end scene on Coney Island shows something falling into the ocean in the background (pointed out by fans to be in the far right from the view out of the ferris wheel, a bit left of a boat sitting in the water seen falling just as the camera beeps), but didn't give out details.[6] Producers Bryan Burk and J. J. Abrams also announced their thoughts to Entertainment Weekly about possible sequel(s). According to Bryan Burk, "The creative team has fleshed out an entire backstory which, if we're lucky, we might get to explore in future films."[65]


Also Abrams states that he does not want to rush into the development of the sequel right away because of the first film's success, instead he wants to create a sequel that is true to the previous film.[65]


At the end of January, Matt Reeves entered early talks with Paramount Pictures to direct a sequel to Cloverfield, which would likely be filmed before Reeves's other project, The Invisible Woman.[66] Reeves now said:

The idea of doing something so differently is exhilarating. We hope that it created a movie experience that is different. The thing about doing a sequel is that I think we all really feel protective of that experience. The key here will be if we can find something that is compelling enough and that is different enough for us to do, then it will probably be worth doing. Obviously it also depends on how Cloverfield does worldwide and all of those things too, but really, for us creatively, we just want to find something that would be another challenge.[67]

In an interview with IGN, J.J Abrams stated that they are still in talks with Paramount. Abrams thought (in his opinion) that it would be fun to work on something different. Both Matt Reeves and Drew Goddard have drawn up different stories for the sequel, but Abrams is only considering the idea of continuing Cloverfield. Paramount is still trying to seal the deal for the sequel.


In an interview with "Attack of the Show", J. J. Abrams had stated that a sequel had not been finalized yet, though Matt Reeves and Paramount are still in talks. In a separate interview, Matt Reeves had stated the same thing. In the same interview between Abrams and "AotS", Abrams had said that they might abandon the filming style, stating that he and the rest of the crew would like to try something new. Sarah Lane is hott! Attack of the Show! (previously named The Screen Savers) is a live gaming and entertainment television program shown on G4 in the United States, G4techTV in Canada, and the HOW TO Channel in Australia. ...


According to J.J. Abrams in another interview, he has said "We're talking about it with Paramount still... but the truth is there's another idea that I'd rather do with the same people than do a sequel of Cloverfield."[68]
