I'm pretty psyched for Cloverfield. There's a lot going on in the trailer and in the hints online at www.01-18-08.com

I'm particularly intrigued by the messages on the backs of the photos. The one on the back of the one with the Japanese chef is a recipe that talks about an ingredient from the bottom of the sea.

That site is now down. The youtube links have also been yanked by Paramount.

Wikipedia has some info:
excerpt

J. J. Abrams 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."[8] In February 2007, Paramount Pictures secretly greenlit Cloverfield, to be produced by J. J. Abrams, directed by Matt Reeves, and written by Drew Goddard. The project is under production by Abrams' company, Bad Robot Productions.[9]

Marketing

The studio kept knowledge of the project secret from the online community, a cited rarity due to the presence of scoopers that follow upcoming films. The controlled release of information on the film has been observed as a risky strategy, which could succeed like The Blair Witch Project (1999) or disappoint like Snakes on a Plane (2006), the latter of which had generated online hype but failed to attract large audiences. Chad Hartigan of Exhibitor Relations Co. viewed the several issues with the potential of the film, including a lack of major stars, the underwhelming performance of Godzilla-style films in America, and the film's slated release in January, considered a "dumping ground for bad films".[13] As Transformers showed high tracking numbers before its release in July 2007, Paramount attached a teaser trailer for Cloverfield, which did not reveal the name of the film, but showed the release date.[9] A second trailer was released on November 16, 2007, which confirmed the title.[14
