Taken from here:
* The film started out as an "elaborate 60-page treatment" by Lost writer Drew Goddard.
* Cloverfield features no musical score at all, "just source music and well-orchestrated ambient sound."
* The beginning of the film was show with a lightweight Panasonic HD HandyCam, "then moves into transitional sequences shot with a 3-lb. Canon for about a third of the film." The special effects shots were filmed with "the much-heavier" hi-res Sony F23 or Thomson Viper.
* One five-minute continuous master shot "incorporates 20 VFX elements."
* A digital version of Cloverfield will play on in a few hundred screens.
* Director Matt Reeves promises "intimate contact" with the monster by the end of the 90-minute film.

Hopefully that will silence those of you claiming it will be a bad movie because we'll never clearly see the monster.

Eh, so long as it's not a crap monster, hooray! If it is a crap monster then they shouldn't show it. I'm tired of directors feeling obliged to show their monster. Lost showed just how bad it can get. The monster was infinitely more scary before they showed it.

Unfortunately we live in an age where everyone expects to be shown the monster. Some people on these forums have claimed that the movie will be poor for the sole reason that the monster will probably not be shown. I am not one of them, but this info should hopefully be enough to shut those people up.
 
I hope it's something aweshome like Cthulhu
 
Listen, if something is kicking the shit out of the American dream and grinding up generations of God-fearing yankee's in a desperate bid to stop it demolishing the monumental shrines to civilization that are cities, then I want to bloomin' see it. :imu:

I wouldn't say more scary, but definitely more mysterious.

It actually seems to match the gif Sedako posted, you can see the flipper, etc.
 
That's a pretty good monster. Perhaps a little bit too whale-ish but otherwise good.
 
Yeah it's a pretty decent design, and quite original, I haven't heard of a "mutant whale monster" before.

Also, I wonder what this "infection" they speak of in the trailers is.
 
That picture that you have submitted is nothing more than a fan design.

Sometimes i want it to be left for discussion but in this kind of movie i feel showing the monster will be much better then not showing it.

Im hoping its a cthulhu

That's pretty good, I've seen it in the trailer but this really gives you an idea of what you're seeing. Legs and spine curve make me think it's insect like.
 
^ I still think it's some sort of sea creature, if you look at the top right, you can see a flipper (it disappears behind the building at the end). Also, there's a teaser website related to the movie about deep-sea mining or whatever so that kinda supports the idea that it's from the ocean.

so the actors going to have sex with good old beasty?
 
IS this going to be a rip-off of
SIN from FFX?
 
According to that .gif it's a giant xenomorph.

Wait, remind me again why we want 'new cloverfield details'?

I don't want any more detail until I see the film!

As I said, people were predicting that they weren't going to be shown the monster fully. The main purpose of posting these details was to refute that prediction.
 
Looking at that huge gif that was just posted, am I the only person here who thinks that it looks very similar to monster Orga from Godzilla Millenium?
 
The backside of Orga (which I couldn't find a pic of- go figure) is what mainly looks like the image of the Cloverfield monster.
 
Looks a bit like Gruul in the .gif (The leg structure/posture at least).
 
Doesn't this kind of corporate viral marketing just make you feel like a sucker?
