Cloverfield movie poster

By the looks of the Cloverfield movie poster, this is a ‘disaster’ movie. The head of the statue of liberty is missing, and the background shows buildings burning. But a Slashfilm post gives details that director Matt Reeves has revealed in various interviews. It’s a monster movie, though there have yet to be any visuals - either in stills or trailers - of the monster. That’s supposedly to build “dread and anticipation.”

J.J. Abrams is producing, so it’s not surprising the trailer for the next Star Trek - which he’s also producing - is attached to Cloverfield. The latter is out on Jan 18th. Note that depending on which Cloverfield trailers you watch, it either looks really boring or really exciting. A more exciting clip is below, but no monster appears. My bets are on a Gojira or Mothra monster.
