JJ Abrams Talks 1-18-08 / CloverField at Comic Con

We had a chance to sit down and listen to JJ Abrams talk about the upcoming CloverField. Remember kids we are going to be covering Comic Con in depth with a ton of updates. Any rate here is what JJ said about CloverField at Comic Con today!

This is gonna be really really quick. I just want to say I want a monster movie! I want a great monster movie! I wanted a monster movie for so long! And I was in Japan over a year ago with my son who is 8 and all he wanted to do was go to toy stores. We went to a store and saw Godzilla's everywhere and I thought what better. We need our own monster.

We need a monster movie. I love King Kong! King Kong is just adorable and Godzilla is a charming monster I love Godzilla but I wanted something that was just insane and intense. So we started making this movie and are working it now. I watch dailies and I am more excited about the movie itself then the trailer which has gotten an amazing response. I cant thank you enough for that. I would say it will be nearly 6 months before this movie comes out. Its a long time so in the coming months your going to get the real trailer, the real poster, and the title. But you wont get the title today. Do you think I should call it Monstrous?

When he didnt announce the title he was boo'd and then he brought out the "Should we name it Monstrous?". He also gave everyone present the poster that you see below. The 1-18-08 aka cloverField poster which we posted for you earlier today! Stay tuned and if you have your own comic con news feel free to send it in!
