We Were The Cool Kids: JJ Abrams Fucks Us Over At Comic Con

Thursday, July 26, 2007

Dear Constant Reader,

A few notes first :
1. The poster was real, but the title was fake.
2. JJ Abrams is an evil man.
3. I love him for it.

Here's what JJ Abrams had to say at ComicCon about "Cloverfield" :

Cloverfield / 1-18-08:
2:22 - The original trailer in front of Transformers for Cloverfield / 1-18-08 debuts. JJ Abrams heads to the stage. His very quick statement on the film (as he'll be back for Star Trek XI):

“I want a monster movie, I've wanted one for so long. I was in Japan with my son and all he wanted to do is go to toy stores. And we saw all these Godzilla toys, and I thought, we need our own monster, and not King Kong, King Kong's adorable. I wanted something that was just insane and intense. It's almost done shooting and I watch dailies and I'm more excited for them than the trailer, which has had an overwhelming response. We have 6 months before this comes out. We're going to have a whole bunch of things, a whole bunch more."

He said a full trailer, more clips, full posters, and much more will be coming out over the next 6 monts, including the name, which he will NOT reveal today.
