McNutt Against the Music

Based on the excessive number of people who ended up at my blog searching for information on the amazingly cool mystery trailer that played before Transformers, the masses want to know more about what producer J. J. Abrams has up his sleeve.

Well, today Entertainment Weekly revealed the absolutely spectacular teaser poster for the still-untitled film, brilliantly building on the word-of-mouth (and mouse) that the trailer created with its stunning final shot. EW also reveals a few more details on the film itself, including that the film’s lead is played by Michael Stahl-David (The Black Donnellys) and that, no, Abrams is not making a live-action version of the Japanese anime classic Voltron. But other than that, we’re still really in the dark about what exactly is going on with the project code-named “Cloverfield.”

But does the film actually have a title? The rumour going around Comic-Con this week is that the film is going to be called “Monstrous,” and AICN has been sent photos of the above poster with that title plastered on it. I’m going to call bullshit on this one, simply because I think “Monstrous” is an absolutely terrible title considering how cool the marketing campaign thus far has been. We’ll have to wait and see.
