Cloverfield on Robot Chicken

The Cloverfield monster made an appearance on Adult Swim's Robot Chicken, in this short titled "Too Soon". The stop motion video was cleverly made using the Hasbro Cloverfield Toy.

Fan Made Cloverfield Videos

Last month, a fan-made Cloverfield video began making the rounds and picking up a little bit of "I don't think this is real, but..." coverage. We don't normally cover fake news, but yesterday, the second video from abcharu21 was released. This doesn't make it any more legitimate, but it does mean I will get a ton more emails wondering why I haven't posted these. So without further ado, I present to you "new" Cloverfield videos:

BTW, if you are looking for something real to do, there is an interesting Art ARG going on for LOST Season 6 at damoncarltonandapolarbear.com. The great folks at LOSTARGs.com have been following everything if you want to get all caught up.

Cloverfield Spoof on South Park

In the latest episode of South Park, "Pandemic", they did a spoof on Cloverfield involving Stan's dad Randy. You can view the entire episode for free at South Park Studios, and look for "Pandemic 2: The Startling" on Comedy Central this Wednesday, October 29th.

Monster Invades Florida News

Erick Weber, of the Local 6 Morning News team in Orlando, Florida, sent in this great spoof of the Cloverfield teaser trailer.

This Is NOT The Monster, Part 2

Here is an amazing artist rendition of a Cloverfield monster concept. The fan made artwork is NOT the Cloverfield monster, but was in fact created by Washington artist Doug Williams, for an online contest. Nice work Doug!

You can check out Doug's other artwork at DougBlot.Blogspot.com

* Thanks to everyone for emailing me about this, especially Peter at /Film for origin of the artwork.

This Is NOT The Monster, Part 1

This is part one in a series I am calling "This Is NOT the Monster".

I have received countless emails over the past few days with various links to websites claiming to have a photo of the Cloverfield monster (or MGP as it is known as at UnFiction).

That photo actually comes from Peter Konig's gallery of "concept" art, at the appropriately named ConceptArt.org. The gallery is full of things that could be the monster, but are not.

Also on that page, it mentions that visual effects company Tippett Studio's Peter Konig ... is [the] art director for the upcoming, top secret JJ Abrams production "Cloverfield".

And if you don't believe me, Harry Knowles of AICN summed it up in one word: BUNK.

More evidence here: http://www.2snaps.tv/9813767

"The image shows models ... for potential creatures to be used in a video game production back in 2003, which was being done by Massive Black... Which just happens to be Konig's company."

It's Cloverfield Spoof Week!

I officially declare this week CLOVERFIELD SPOOF WEEK!

Over the last few days, Unfiction was smothered in hoaxes, including these FAKE posters allegedly from the UK:





And now there's a FAKE 1-18-08 movie trailer!

You can see from this screen shot of the REAL trailer, the NY1 graphics are all wrong:

* the spacing is bad, especially around the time and "breaking news"

* the fonts are the wrong typeface (especially the 69°, and the 1 in NY1)

* the blue colors don't match

* the yellow borders shouldn't go under "breaking news"

Not to mention the bad acting. But an "A" for effort though!


In honor of SPOOF WEEK, send me your spoofs! Think you can do better? Show me what you got! This is a limited time offer! One week only (or until we get some actual Cloverfield news)! Void where prohibited!


UPDATE: Here is another FAKE trailer. This one combines the original trailer, with footage from the I AM LEGEND trailer.

Here's a tip for anyone else making a fake trailer. The next real official trailer will probably include the actual title of the movie. Since we don't know what that is yet, just make one up. ;)


... and here are some more FAKE posters!

More Cloverfield Spoofs

While we wait for JJ Abrams to give us more 1-18-08 news, here are couple more Cloverfield spoof videos:

"Save Rob" by the Horsehead Businessman





"Cloverfield Parody" by Daniel Kaufman & Matt Scott.




UPDATE: I have also updated the Japanese Daily Sun post to include 8 more photos that I have found around the "net". No ads for Slusho! yet. If you have any pages that I am missing, send me an email!
