Firstly, Here is the new image on 1-18-08.com. Now the website has two photos that you can drag around with your mouse.

Bigger news is that hollywood-elsewhere.com is claiming to have talked with “a guy in the pipeline of producer J.J. Abrams.”

In short, the whole film will be shot by “handicams.” The trailer is real and is part of the movie. 01/18/08 is indeed the release date. Being a Saturday it was suspicious if that was the real release date. The name of the film will be revealed soon.

Abrams is “very active on this one, as he plans to be on all Bad Robot projects,” he says. “The only things he’s been involved with which he hasn’t really had any creative role were What About Brian and Six Degrees — both shows that existed before Bad Robot really opened for business (meaning, when he put the team together).

“Cloverfield is an idea Abrams had over a year ago, which he then sold to Paramount. The point-of-view thing (Handicam) is the whole movie. Scenes from the trailer are in the film. Abrams got a really talented guy (Drew Goddard) to write (they’d worked together on Alias and, presently, Lost), and Matt Reeves to direct (they co-created Felicity and he’s pretty damn genius-level).

“Bad Robot and Paramount will be announcing the real title shortly.”
