Nope, that's a concept design for game art created by Massive Black. You can see the model sitting on the table in the top pic:

movies like that are suposed to boost and fuel the imagination

not showing the monster is like ordering burger whit bacon and not getting bacon

and why the expectator have to imaginate the monster? thats like the makers just went lazy and go "why dont you imaginate the monster? cuz you know it makes things cheaper and quicker for us"

and not showing the monster is not what I think will make the movie bad but that is will be just a bunch of retards teenagers runing around whit the camera and jj abrams poping out saying "kiss my ass Hitchcock,I am da master of suspense" or something like that
 
Usually, the point of not showing a monster in a movie is to heighten the tension and fear that the viewer feels. The fear of the unknown that your mind concocts is abstract, undefined, and it's precisely that uncertainty and intangibility that makes the monster so terrifying. It could be anything, and you won't know until it kills you.

Once you see the monster, you know what it looks like, and you have a pretty good idea of how it moves and so forth. The fear you get from that is different, and far less psychologically intense.

yeah but the way this movie show it is just people runing and screaming
 
I'd prefer not to see it, to be honest. The Lost 'monster' was ruined because it was shown. Less whiney LEMMESEETHEMONSTERNOAW, more tension and imagination, please.
 
I think with this type of movie, I'd rather see the monster. It's simply too big, and too loud, and too destructive to not be seen. Basically I think it would make the movie feel fake if we never saw the monster.
 
Yeah, what I mean is I don't want to see it in like... full stance, like Godzilla in the more recent of Godzilla films. The stuff we see in that .gif is the stuff I really like, where we can make out that it's big and badass but we're not completly sure just what the folk it is.
 
Wow, me and my friends were talking today about what creature it could be.

Cthulhu came up, I hope that its it <_<

Cthulhu is possible because in the books, there is an infection.

If you look closely at the images, you can make out tentacles.
 
JJ did say it was gonna be an original monster.
 
There's not that many large beasties in the Originality Category.

Theres...Godzilla, but the screens show something with a completely different body color and shape.

Also, there isn't many beasties which have a virus/mind control power. Cthulhu had a mind control power.

Other than that, It would be fun if it were an Old One.

plus the monster is apparantly like a 100 stories tall, it makes sense not showing the Alien because it's small(ish) and stealthy, the Cloverfield monster is meant to be fricking massive!
 
This is what I see,

You should really be uploading any images you want to use to a site like imageshack anyway because it costs them bandwidth with out any real benefit to them, this would be one of the methods people use to prevent this, screwing with people would be another.
 
i have a feeling the monster looks like this:

sorry for small image only picture i could find
 
from the tiny clip that ive seen from the monster it's probably gonna look like that...a dumb generic giant monster that's not scary in the least bit..lol
 
Giant monsters aren't scary, anyway. slightly-larger than man size is very scary. Like, the baby godzillas in the new movie. Those are all kinds of "we're ****ed".
 
Remind me to stay the **** away from the Internet when a movie is close to release. I just spoiled the entire film for myself.




Also monster. :|
 
Google it, look on the /tv/ 4chan board, wiki it. I've seen a .gif image posted in a few places.
 
Some "select" people have already seen the movie we need to beat them and have them tell us what the monster is.
 
****ing lol. That explosion gets me every time.






I always wondered: Why did people think the film was going to be Voltron?

When they run into the street the guy says "I can see it's alive it's huge!" but it sounds like he says "it's a lion it's huge" Also I just read the wiki and spoiled the whole movie for myself, anyone know where I can find a pic of teh monsta?
 
I'll do it dammit...

AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS IS A ****ING
