Case 1017

Today I received an e-mail tip from /Film reader Al M, regarding the #1 video on YouTube today, which has over 1.1 million views.

"Have you guys seen this yet? Some people are saying it's CLOVERFIELD 2, but I don't think so.

It looks like a tape of a government shooting that happened on March 11th, and there's a whole backstory about this guy who gets fired from his gov't job and leaked this tape yesterday."

I have no idea what this viral video is for, but it looks like it might be for a movie. It should be noted that I'm 99% sure this is not related to discussed Cloverfield sequel.

Update: It looks like it might be related to Quarantine, Screen Gems' American remake of [Rec], which hits theaters in October.Discuss: Anyone have any ideas?
