Cloverfield Title Finally Revealed!? Movie Trailer Description Online

Devin over at CHUD has seen the trailer for the upcoming JJ Abrams-produced monster movie code-named Cloverfield/1-18-08. The trailer which runs 2 minutes and 16 seconds will debut in front of Beowulf and will feature the final title for the movie (we reported this earlier in the week). So what is the title?

Cloverfield

That's right, the reel marked as Trailer #1, V.17, with "Newest FX Shots" features the titlecard "Cloverfield". Keep in mind this could just be a placeholder until the real title is announced, so things could change. Alex and FirstShowing seems to believe that mainstream audiences know the film better under the date title 1-18-08, and that it would be stupid to call the film Cloverfield. And I think he has a point because Cloverfield has nothing to do with anything that happens in the movie (at least from what we know). So while the audience online knows the film as Cloverfield, the brand recognition doesn't translate to mainstreat audiences. And that's why I don't believe this is the actual title of the movie.

CHUD also has a description of the trailer, which doesn't feature much information (if I was you, I'd wait to see it on the big screen, as it seems like more like a trailer you want t experience) but it does confirm that the movie features a big monster ("We see the big monster briefly passing between two buildings. I couldn't make it out at all, but it appeared to be HUGE.") and smaller creatures, and that the video tape is eventually found in Central Park (as we reported during the last days of production).

The new Cloverfield movie trailer will premiere in front of Beowulf on November 16th 2007.
