Here is some new stuff about the movie previously known as 01-18-08:
The poster for Escape from New York supposedly inspired the scene of the decapitated head of the Statue of Liberty in Cloverfield.
J. J. Abrams apparently conceived of a new monster after he and his son visited a toy store in Japan. He explained, “We saw all these Godzilla toys, and I thought, ‘we need our own monster, and not King Kong, King Kong’s adorable.’ I wanted something that was just insane and intense.”

They have also launched viral websites for Slusho! and a Japanese drilling company to add to the mythology of the story, much in the same way that they did for Lost.
don’t waste your time to see any 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes of Cloverfield ! You should watch the whole movie because it’s really worth your money and your time
