“People are going to want to know, how it all went down…”
The new movie trailer for the JJ Abrams produced monster movie Cloverfield (yes, that is now the official title) will be attached to Beowulf this weekend, but fans have already leaked a copy onto the internet. I’m not going to link to the pirated handheld video camera copy (to think, a handheld video camera taped trailer of a movie which was filmed with handheld video cameras… my brain hurts) but I’ve already seen it on multiple video sharing sites and message boards. I would recommend that anyone that cares about this film, to wait to see this trailer on the big screen or online early next week.
So the question is, JJ, Paramount, how do you want people to experience the new trailer? Because if you are looking to sell this movie right, you need fans to experience this trailer right. The copies I have seen online are very poor indeed. But that won’t stop people from watching the trailer and spreading it like a virus. I’m sure hundreds of thousands will see this subpar copy by Monday morning. You will not be able to stop fans from spreading this pirated copy now that it has been unleashed. If I were Paramount, I would get a high quality Quicktime of the new trailer online today. Just saying…
And hey, look on the bright side, people are clearly very excited about this upcoming release.

I think Peter is right on this one. I’ll be the first to say that I have been one of those nerds that gets online every single day looking for new Cloverfield news, but if I’m gonna see this new trailer that I’ve been waiting for, for like 5 months now I want to see it right I’m gonna go see Beowulf so I can see it like I saw the first one, on the big screen, in good quality, and completely kick ass.

I disagree - why mess with success? The first Cloverfield trailer was on YouTube for a few days before the official version came out, and it created a lot of buzz and news stories about how Paramount is pulling the trailer. This only created more demand - people want what they can’t have. I bet Paramount will play whack-a-mole until Monday, then give it to us in full hi-def glory.
FWIW, I went to see Transformers on the opening weekend, just so I could see the Cloverfield trailer, even though I had already seen it on YouTube. Same goes for Beowulf… I already have my ticket for the 3D version tonight!!

People who leak movies or trailers are the huge a**holes who should go to jail.

The quality of the leaked trailer is absolutely awful and unwatchable. You can’t see anything. I can’t wait to see this movie in high definition.

I’m thinkin that this film is gonna be another snakes on a plane,remember, everybody was exited about that but did they turn up?

As much as I have been waiting for the trailer as anyone else here, if you watch it, like I have, it doesn’t ruin anything. I mean. You can’t see anything which is why it isn’t ruined.

I think I might spend $10- to go see a trailer!!
