user clownnation: I just saw the “cloverfield” teaser when i went and saw Transformers. All I can say Ken, is WHOA! Its amazing how that teaser hooked me and I have no idea what the movie is about, who ever put that teaser together is brilliant! There is a HUGE internet buzz about it now!user fxdude (Ken):Yes it will be interesting.. did you see the Statue Of Liberty head fly down the street?, we shot all that at Paramounts backlot, New York Street, most people think we are shooting it with a handy cam, but NO we are using the state of the art DVD Panavision camera. Also the press is stating that it is shooting now in New York… WRONG AGAIN media people ..
user doghead76: hehe…they thought statue of liberty…that’s New York. isn’t it fun though, when you can keep on fooling people that way? I mean…that’s just another shade of movie magic, don’t you think?
user clownnation: Yes I did see the Statue of Liberty’s head. That wasnt CG? It really does look like a handy cam, GREAT EFFECTS! I usually dont like trailers these days, they give away the entire movie, but this trailer told me very little and hooked me right in!
user fxdude (Ken): Some of it was CG the rest mechanical, as the head hits the ground we yanked the cars out of the way shook the buildings, broke the glass, created sparks, anything the CG item hits we have to destroy. a lot of work.. “Godzilla meets Escape from New York”

I spoke to Viacom legal today and their communications department said that the rumors of them pulling the pics are false. Additionally, Steven, of Shearman & Sterling added that the websites claiming a C&D have lied to boost their ratings. “The photos in question do not show or prove enough information as to be the set of the “Clover” production.”
Grow up people. And quit trying to look like your nuts are bigger than they are.

Legal Eagle,
I spoke to God today and he says you’re the one trying to make yourself looking important by saying things like “I spoke to Viacom legal today”.
If you believe that God spoke to me then I’ll believe you even know how to contact Viacom you twat.
Why would you speak with Viacom, when this is Paramount? Paramount has been pulling the pictures to do copyright infringement. Viacom isn’t handling this issue at all, only it’s subsidiary (Paramount.)
Also, the lawyer involved with this is Dennis L. Wilson of Keats McFarland & Wilson LLP.
Do yourself a favor and get your head out of your ass before you comment with your “information.”
