There's information on the Widget contest, a movie summary, theater showtimes (coming Jan 13th), and you can download Cloverfield wallpaper and clip from the movie.

I was not able to download the movie, so let me know if it is different from what we have already seen.

Whistle Blower Message #3 - Sonar

New messages began appearing in email boxes, with one of the following images attached - sonar_1.jpg and sonar_2.jpg. There is no note or message attached.

It looks like some kind or sonar image, but of what? Was this the first detection by Tagruato of the monster?

Click here to see the two images overlapped and animated.

Click here to see the "difference" of the two images.

It looks like it is a screen shot of a Tagruato computer, based on the Tagruato wallpaper in the background. The program that appears to be running is titled "Tagruato Son-air Bld.18 Rev 1a", and has various tabs, some marked in Japanese, and shows a date of 12/18/07. The status bar of the first image says "Occ. Det. ANO 0012433. Monitoring...", and the second image says "Occ. Scale. ERR. 163".

Hey Rob. Good luck this afternoon at the interview! I'm sure they'll love you.

Odette Yustman in GQ Magazine

GQ Magazine has an interview with Odette Yustman (and sexy photos!), who plays Beth in Cloverfield. She reveals yet another codename for the movie - Monkey.

J.J.'s New Thriller - Sexy photos of 22-year-old actress Odette Yustman

Though Odette Yustman stars in J. J. Abrams’s new top-secret screamer, for a while there, even she didn’t know the movie’s title. Abrams printed call sheets tagging the film Cheese, Slusho, Monkey, even Chocolate Outrage. All smoke screens. “I was sworn to secrecy,” says Yustman, “but things kept getting leaked on the Internet. I think there was a mole. It’s called Cloverfield now.” Not exactly bone-chilling. “It’s the name of the street off the freeway where you exit for J.J.’s office.” The 22-year-old Cuban- Californian can’t say much else about the project, except that it features “intimate, terrifying footage of an attack on New York City” and “a monster” or “monsters” she’s never seen. (But she promises the film is scary.) This woman knows gore on an experiential level—and loves it. “I grew up on a farm,” she says. “I’d watch my grandfather shoot our pigs in the head. It was horrifying—until we’d eat them.”

JamieAndTeddy Video #6 - The Call

There is a new video on JamieAndTeddy.com (password: jllovesth)

Uh oh. Jamie still doesn't believe Teddy's story so she's decided to call Teddy's bluff and call Tag-ga-gato herself :) Well, of course they deny that he exists and what to know who she is. Fortunately, she doesn't speak "whatever".

You can download the video directly here: http://www.jamieandteddy.com/Number6.mov

Or watch it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkPYGNi1wWQ

Here is the transcript:

Hey Prick. So guess what?
I'm going to play your little game and I'm going to call Tag-ga-gato.
Because, it just so happens that my friend's boyfriend found the number for me.
So we're going to call and we're going to see who really stole you.
It's about a million numbers, it'll probably cost me a fortune, but guess what?
You're worth it, aren't you?
[sigh]
Hi, can I speak to Teddy Hanssen?
Can I speak to someone that speaks American?
Oh, OK, you speak both.
I'm looking for Teddy Hanssen.
OK, thanks, I'll hold.
[whispering] I Hate You
Hi, I'm looking for Teddy Hanssen.
This is Jamie Lascano.
I'm calling from America. I'm not telling you my address...
Surprise, Surprise, they've never heard of you.
You know what? I'm so sick of your games.
This is the last video you are getting from me. I'm officially done
[phone rings]
Unknown number.
Hello? I don't speak "whatever".
OK, thanks Teddy, now they are calling me, prick.

Cloverfield Wins Biggest Tease Award - Reelz Channel

Reelz Channel's "The Big Tease" show awarded Cloverfield with the "Biggest Tease" award for the original teaser trailer.

I'm sure that J.J. will put that award right next to his two Emmys :)

Merry Cloverfield Christmas

'Twas the Night Before 1-18-08

was the night before 1-18-08, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except maybe a whale louse.

The stockings were hung over Jamies' chair,
In hopes that Teddy soon would be there;

Jamie was nestled all snug in her bed,
While visions of "primary evidience" danced in her head;

Is it still lying on the floor or did she freeze it ASAP,
Will she mix it in a cocktail for a little night cap.

Later at the party there arose such a clatter,
They turned on the news to see what was the matter.

Away to the roof Rob flew like a flash,
Looked to the harbour and saw a big crash.

Things were exploding and starting to blow,
They ran down the stairs to the street below.

When, what to their wondering eyes should appear,
But a flying Statue of Libertys' head that filled them with fear.

Smashing the cars and the pavement it came.
Rob whistled, and shouted and called them by name;

"Where's Jason! and Lily! and that 11 dollar guy!"
There's Marlena and Hud with a camera to his eye.

Oh My God! It's alive and it's huge they did say,
And whatever that thing is it's coming their way.

It was big and green and toppling skyscrapers,
Debris rained down and dust and papers.

Rob had a plan, he would rescue Beth,
Maybe she would love him if he saved her from death.

Then Marlena got bit and exploded it seemed,
And Lily and Hud also left Robs' team.

So just Beth and Rob were left huddling in fright,
1-18-08 was one helluva night.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
