J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield is finally being released on Friday after about a good half-year of rumors, speculation, and viral marketing(http://www.slusho.jp/). The trailer that we all saw before Transformers (http://youtube.com/watch?v=IvNkGm8mxiM) caused quite a buzz and started many "interesting" theories behind the mysterious movie without a title such as http://youtube.com/watch?v=_3Oh8Msw4SM , http://youtube.com/watch?v=KJs9NqlbEyw&feature=related , and my personal favorite http://youtube.com/watch?v=UggWziLEK98&feature=related

I plan on going to see the movie on Friday night and whether it will be a good movie or not, I don't know, but I do know that all of the hype and speculation has certainly gotten me interested in the movie. However, the question is how many other people will be interested enough to go see this movie as well. If it has a big opening and does well at the box office, then we may be seeing more and more movies made and marketed similar to Cloverfield. It is not often that one movie has a chance to change or at least shake-up the way Hollywood goes about its business, but Cloverfield certainly has the potential to do this.
Be on the lookout for a Cloverfield review this weekend as well as any other opinions and or rants that we may have on the movie.
