What is Cloverfield?

In typical J.J. Abrams style, the trailer for his upcoming new movie project was shown this past weekend prior to the Transformers movie and it has caused quite a stir. No title to the movie was shown nor was anything very specific about what the plot of the film except it is in New York, it's late at night and the movie is being shot as a point-of-view [like the Blair Witch Project] film. The working title for the film is Cloverfield [or it's shooting title of >Slusho] and only after this past weekend would Paramount even admit to knowing the film exists. Since then the mysterious websites 1-18-08, EthanHaasWasRight, EthanHaasWasWrong Blog, and finally the movie trailer is now available on Apple's website. [Note it has been reported that >the Ethan sites are not related to the film but it has also been reported that there will be more websites to promote the film either to be launched or to be found by the public at large, surf at your own risk!]

I'm not sure what this film is all about but you can be sure that the Losties out there are already forming their own theories and filling internet discussion boards with hours of Godzilla, Voltron, Lost and Other sci-fi fodder. Let the games begin.
