Dave's gotta break out The Can

I only found out about this movie yesterday. (for some reason the trailer is not playing over here in the UK yet)
I have to say you get a close encounters of the third kind vibe at the start of the video, with the same sort of truck and railway crossing from that movie. Plus Spielberg is involved

Main reason we dont have Industry Pros in here... so sad

yeaa ! that really sucks.

I predict that the true premise of this mysterious film will be quite predictable and contrived, being a J.J. Abrams film. He only knows how to do retreads of existing film types, good though they often turn out being.

It appears I am not the only one who noticed the similarity to CE3K

It looks like it could be homage to Spielberg's 70's and 80's movies

NEWS FLASH!!! Not only am I entitled to my own opinion but I also get to use ANY & ALL WORDS I SO CHOOSE.......call it a perk of having a powerful mind.

& as far as me getting so called "worse".....nope. I've just come to the conclusion that any & all toy forums will ban me sooner or later because I'm too much of a free spirit. & free spirits alway cause the NAZI in people to bubble to the surface. What's that you say...NAZI is a strong word?? well just direct your view to your own opressive statment attempting to restrick my words to the ones YOU have approved.

Sounds like NAZI to me.

A truly powerful mind uses words to express their opinion in a non-offensive manner, while respecting the opinions of others. Perhaps narrow was the word you were looking for?

Further more, Nazi's were self justified by a strong belief that their opinions were undeniable truths that when challenged called for an aggressive retaliation. Sound familiar?

Oh well, I tried to get the conversation back to the movie

Wow. I expected a spiritual successor to Cloverfield, but this looks even better. Love the retro vibe and how it felt like your typical Spielberg movie. Can't wait to see this one.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I'd be down for a Cloverfield sequel.

cloverfield sucked

I see something that could be the creature. Nor sure, though.

All i seen was a bit of blue and what look's like a long neck...i think the less they show of this creature the better.

You can see the creature's jaw and teeth for a split second in the trailer:

cloverfield sucked

Yeah that movie was garbage. Thankfully this looks nothing like that (it's shot traditionally) so it will actually be watchable. Looks interesting.. I wanna see it.

This look's like a shark to me, but i know it's not going to be a shark

I love that this is set in the 70s. Some of the scenes felt like they were lifted from Close Encounters.
