Anyone seen the trailers for Cloverfield (1.18.08)?

New movie coming out from the creator of LOST.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/cloverfield/

Needless to say, the movie has been kept secret and under wraps; there is speculation about a number of websites (including some fake Japanese soft drink called Slusho) that are actually part of a viral marketing campaign.

The basics are this: a group of twentysomething friends are throwing a going-away part for one of their friends in New York city. During the revelries, the power cuts out and they hear a horrifying sound. Off in the distance they see an enormous explosion. Eventually (when the head of the statue of liberty comes rolling down the road), they realize that New York is under attack by... something.

Considering that the film's POV comes entirely from a camcorder, it appears that the movie will be a combination (somewhat) of BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and a GODZILLA/BLOB kind of movie. There are rumors that it draws from the H.P. Lovecraft "Cthlulu" mythology, and still others insist that it is connected somehow to LOST.

There even might be nods to George Romero's DEAD trilogy; at one point in one of the commercials there is a very sick-looking girl and yells of "We have a bite!".

I have to admit, I'm intrigued.
