Yahoo News: brams' `Godzilla' envy helped unleash `Cloverfield' monster

By DAVID GERMAIN, AP Movie Writer Mon Apr 21, 9:45 AM ET

LOS ANGELES - It was a classic case of monster envy that led to the rise of "Cloverfield," the horror hit about a 350-foot creature stomping through New York City.

Visiting Tokyo with his son a few years ago, producer J.J. Abrams was struck by the omnipresence of Godzilla in toy stores half a century after the giant reptile first terrorized Japan.

"This iconic character had really maintained his position," Abrams told The Associated Press in an interview to promote Tuesday's DVD release of "Cloverfield," which set a record for January debuts with a $40 million opening weekend.

"I thought it would be so great if we had our own monster movie, not just `Godzilla,' not just `King Kong,'" said Abrams, creator of TV's "Lost" whose big-screen credits include directing "Mission: Impossible III" and the upcoming "Star Trek."

With longtime TV collaborators Matt Reeves directing and Drew Goddard writing the screenplay, Abrams set out to create a homegrown beast beyond the guy-in-a-lizard-suit quaintness of "Godzilla" flicks, bringing the creature-feature into modern times.

What they hit on was a refreshing mix of monster mayhem and the amateur-video style of "The Blair Witch Project" as a Manhattan farewell party for a friend being recorded on a hand-held digital camera becomes an impromptu documentary of the gargantuan's rampage.

Shot for less than $25 million, a bargain price in Hollywood, "Cloverfield" heightened its documentary realism by using a cast of unknowns and maximized its limited budget for visual effects by offering scattershot images of the monster and devastation as the characters run for their lives.

"It becomes more effective to have fewer money shots, like `Alien' and `Jaws.' When you're not actually seeing things but anticipating them, it can be much more terrifying," Abrams said. "We really tried to take the position that less is more. There are definitely shots where you see the whole thing, but we didn't want to make something where you felt it was becoming overdone."

Abrams and distributor Paramount used similarly clandestine tactics to sell the film, keeping the title under wraps until shortly before its release and offering trailers and online marketing to make movie-goers ask one another, "What in the world is this film?"

"Cloverfield," the name of a street near Abrams' office, was a code name for the movie but ultimately became its title because he and his collaborators never hit on anything they liked better.

Given the murky origins of the monster itself and the fact that the story plays out through a discovered tape in the Pentagon's secret files, "Cloverfield" made sense, said Abrams, who is kicking around ideas for a possible sequel.

"The Manhattan Project or various military actions, there are always titles for these things that sometimes feel oddly benign," Abrams said. "So it felt logical in that regard."

Cloverfield Secret

If you go to the official Cloverfield movie site, the DVD trailer shows something new and cool.

After you check it out:
My guess is it's one of the alternate endings. And that at lest Beth is alive. I bet they both are and they will be in a second movie, but ive always thought that.

Cloverfield on DVD

So many of you know these fabulous movie is coming out on DVD pretty quickly. There are many special editions as far as I know. I8 seriously doubt it will ever come out on HD-DVD as that is the way of the past. However standered DVD and BlueRay is going to happen.

The DVD when come out on June 9th in the UK.
The special features are as follows:
Keep in mind this is as per Play.com so it may not be 100% correct.

According to DVDActive Paramount has officially announced the Cloverfield DVD release, with the following details:

Paramount Home Entertainment has officially announced Cloverfield which stars Lizzy Caplan, Jessica Lucas, TJ Miller. The Matt Reeves directed monster flick will be available to own from the 22nd April, and should retail at around $27.95. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. Extras will include a commentary by Director Matt Reeves, 4 featurettes (The Making of Cloverfield, Cloverfield Visual Effects, I Saw It! It's Alive! It's Huge, and Clover Fun), 6 additional scenes (Congrats Rob, When You're in Japan, I Call That a Date, It's Going to Hurt, Alt Ending #1, Alt Ending #2), and multiple eastereggs.

On March 18, 2008 the official Cloverfield Website had announced the DVD. Here is the ad:
You can find it just about anywhere. The official site links to Amazon.com but you can pre-order it pretty much anywhere. I would imagine WalMart will come out with some WalMart only edition as they do for everything. Details from what I know on "spacial edition" DVDs are few. Acccording to Cloverfieldclues.com there will be a 'Steelbook' packaging that will be at Suncoast and FYE they got this info from IGN. I have heard rumors of the UK DVD being in a smashed up tin box. Which has pretty much been confirmed by IGN.

One this to look at is the head of the statue of liberty on the side of the ad, it is not like the statue in the movie. For one there are no claw marks in its face, it's not lying on it's side. And so on. On the right is a picture of the head compared with a picture of the head from the "escape from new york" poster which the movie was based on. And above that is two screen shots one from the movie and the other from the teaser trailer. My guess? An homage to the first film.
