Well, watch the video and you tell me. It semi-clearly has a "Cloverfield" street sign in there, it's a big clusterfuck of jumbled images and nonsense, there's a thing that looks like a giant monster in general and the Cloverfield monster in specific (in blurry specific, but specific nonetheless) and it is exactly the type of messy, viral nonsense they used to market the first movie. So I'm saying it's real; although I admit I don't have the ability to conceive why someone would spend so much time to create gibberish like this unless they were getting to do so. However, in the end, the video might as well be real, because it's marketing a Cloverfield sequel just as effectively as one planned by any PR team. So the better question is if there's actually going to be a Cloverfield 2 movie to follow this video up. (Via FilmDrunk)

Cloverfield was a breath of new air in the genre. Enjoy your plastic monsters from the past.

Just saw a Picture of a Nigen on http://iheartchaos.com/content/ningen-mysterious-humanoid-sea-creatures-antarctic-more-you-know Looks alot like something from Cloverfield I know a rumor of this creature has been floating a round the web for a few years maybe It is more Viral Marketing from JJ.

Fail.

this is not an ad for cloverfield 2! They are at the Santa Monica Promenade in Southern California. The street cloverfield simply runs through it. Al coincidence. Cops rush by all the time there. And that blurred image is only his baby... There is NO monster image in any of those frames.

Here is the REAL cloverfield 2 trailer (imo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-nmKscB-WQ

This is just something messed up from the people who brought you air traffic controller video games, and japanimation cartoons

@ King Psyz - It's great that you love Japan and all but don't say that American films are nonsense. It just makes you look like an ignorant weeaboo who knows nothing about films.

I loved Cloverfield. It was Godzilla from the fleeing Tokyo citizen's perspective, and that made it cool. It's even better when you know the back-story of the monster. Jeez. I love monster flicks and real horror movies. I'm sooo sick of stuff being influenced by Japanese horror (tons of jump-scares, and things being 'creepy' but not demonstratively dangerous) and the plethora of vampire, slasher, jump-scare "suspense", and torture-porn movies. Cloverfield was a legitimate monster movie. It kicked ass all over the abortion that was Godzilla (USA) and there just AREN'T any other American monster movies anymore. You know what movie sucked that gets a ton a praise? "The Descent". It was awful, lowbrow, jump-scare, afraid-of-the-dark, cheap-ass suspense/horror... Yet people say they loved it. I was rolling my eyes throughout the entire movie. The twist ending was just cheap schlock. Yet something like "Haute Tension" gets dumped on by these same people, and it was way more intelligent, suspenseful, and true to the horror genre. The characters were likable, and the ending was interesting, if not suspected. And Cloverfield, while not a genius film, at least took chances and had the balls to put a giant monster on screen destroying shit and present it in a new way. I'm certain most of the Cloverfield haters are people who get carsick easily, and so they can't handle shaky cameras in movies. They're the same people that can't admit that "The Blair Witch Project" was good because they were too busy puking in their popcorn bucket to catch the dialogue. Of course, none of these are as good as "District 9"... but I'd still watch a Cloverfield sequel.

ClancyDamon : HELL YEAH !!
-
Is this related to that weird one with the exploding 'land jellyfish' things from awhile ago?
-
its fake, look at the monster who just appears out of nowhere, its a shot FROM THE FIRST MOVIE when the cameraman *SPOILER gets eaten *SPOILER*
-
WHy does no one question the fact that Cloverfield's "tape" was an SD card and an SD CARDS CANNOT PRODUCE TAPE GLITCHES as seen in the movie and this obviously fake trailer. By the way its really obvious they just did a simple croma key with the sky and added a weird wrong angle view of the monster from the first film. If this is real....well Bad robot is getting lazy.
-
I guess I'll just add a 2nd vote that the dinosaur fountain was pretty cool.
-
go to 0:34 and take a look at the happy couple walking in front of the camera. did they not notice the giant cut and pasted image from the first cloverfield? are the generic jurassic park-esque foot stomps not indicating to them that an attack is impending? LOST has some of the best viral marketing going, and you think this is real? i can't get over this.
-
you're joking right? this is the worst fan video i've ever seen and you're considering it to be real viral marketing for cloverfield 2? no, you're obviously kidding. no one is that stupid.
-
dear god. please. make this happen. cloverfield 4eva!!!
-
this was filmed in LA, I don't think picking a new city is the way to go for a sequel.
-
Haters can suck it. I loved the first one. It was a blast in the theater and great to see a new take on monster flicks.
-
Cloverfield can lick me.
-
They've already said that they hope to make a sequel that's the same concept and monster attack, just seen from another person's point-of-view.
-
This has to be a fan-viral video. I'm sorry, but there is no way they'll make a Cloverfield 2 in the exact same style of the first. People will tolerate the handy cam for one more in the franchise but no more...Most intelligent studios will know that.
-
@darkmagician66699: "Cthulu-field" FTW!
-
Was just thinking. Maybe it looks bad on purpose? After all, we're giving this a lot more attention than we would be giving a fully fledged, CGI, obviously studio made video. No?
-
The good folks over at /Film already confirmed tat this is indeed a fake. Which is good, b/c the original wasn't really that good.
-
Loved Cloverfield myself and hope for a sequel. That being said, here is my imitation of 10 seconds of dialog from the first one: "Bro! Dude! Man! Bro! Brah! Run dude run!! Dude, don't look back dude! Man Bro!"
-
With all due respect Cloverfield sucked the dew off a dead donkey's scrotum. Five minutes into the movie I hated all the characters enough to wish they would die horribly. Unfortunately I had to watch this turkey for another 85 minutes to get my wish. I saw it for free and wanted a rebate check for them wasting my time. As far as sitting through another round of this pretentious pile of poop, I will go for the sharp stick in the eye instead. Blech!
-
I'd watch a Cloverfield 2, but this, is not Cloverfield 2, it's some crappy editing of some home movies and Photoshopped images.
-
Ehhhh....+1 for effort...
-
the video is proalby not a viral trailer for a cloverfield two since the creators of clover field said they would only do a two if they can come up with a story worthy to do a second one. its got to be a fan made thing love of cloverfield
-
I would much rather see the likes of Steven Spielberg, Joss Whedon, or J.J. Abrams (in that order) take on a giant monster movie that is set during the 1950s (preferably set in Japan) and made, like, I don't know, a real movie than sequel to Cloverfield. Cloverfield was fine. Parts of it were exceptional. But it's not very re-watchable because the characters mostly vacillate between annoying and stupid-- the main camera guy being both at all times to a wearying degree. I liked it a lot the first time I saw it, and I've seen it twice since then. For me, it gets worse each time. So, to echo others, WHY? Oh, right. It made buckets of money and didn't cost very much to make.
-
Here's my general beef with Cloverfield: Who could POSSIBLY be that bad with a digital camera? WTF BBQ Sauce!
-
Okay, just to show that this is, once and for all, fake, (and because I have nothing better to do at the moment), I took a screen grab from the movie. Here's the shot from the new video: http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr286/Friginator369/cloverfield2.jpg And here's a shot from the end of the first movie: http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr286/Friginator369/cloverfield2reveal.jpg
-
If that was real, then it sucked. And if it is, that better be Mr. Cthulu that was looming over the city like that!!! Adding Cthulu would make it ALL better.

Jesus, that looks even worse than your guys' comments made it sound. Do people actually think this is legit?
-
It's a fake. It really is.
-
It looks fan made, could be real I suppose with all he nonsense scenes, but the monster in it, looked edited in especially at the close range it shows it, the area with the Triceratops fountain is in deed the one from the Santa Monica Promanade, theres a Puzzle zoo about 3 stores up from that fountain with great collectables. So who knows what this could be.
-
From what I've heard around the office today (this video seems to be the talk of the cubicles), the guys over at Bad Robot may be behind this. After all, their offices are right next to Cloverfield blvd. In reading up a bit, the second one may have ties to Japan, which this video seems to support. I want it to be real just as much as the next guy. I'm going to go ahead and say watch out and let's see what comes from this.
-
Guys, I hate to admit this, but I'm positive this is a fake. Pasue the video at 0:30. They clearly just took a shot of the monster's head and pasted it behind a shot of some buildings. Just to make it clear, I took a snapshot and posted it here, just to crush the hopes and dreams of people who didn't see it: http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr286/Friginator369/cloverfield2.jpg I wanted this to be the real deal. I really did.
-
Yeah, it's trying way too hard to look like a Cloverfield 2 viral video. If they make a second movie, the viral marketing will be a lot more subtle.
-
For the curious, the Japanese title on this video translates as "What's [that] over there?" not as "Are you there".
-
I'll play along. The Cloverfield sign is I believe at Broadway/Cloverfield in Santa Monica. I recognize the graffiti. Bad Robot Productions is (or used to be) about two minutes away at 12th/Olympic and then another five minutes from the 3rd Street Promenade with the fountains. People willingly go to the Promenade but not so much to anything on Cloverfield unless they really want to see the Geffen Records Building.
-
Hurray, more disorienting camera work! @yIntagh Was Star Trek really that bad to you?
-
The dino fountain is pretty cool though.
-
Crap in a hat! It looks like Orci and Kurtzman are bound and determine to wear out their welcome for sure,after the bodge they made of Bayformers and that piss-poor Star Trek,who in their right mind is still giving these ninnies money to write anything more complex than an instruction booklet on how to go **** themselves?
-
37 seconds in, you can see a street sign that says "Cloverfield" ... yeahhhh....
-
This is just someone's vacation movie from Third Street Promenade (10 blocks west of Cloverfield Ave... COINCIDENCE???) So if it's a viral marketing stunt, it's a pretty lazy one.
-
I thought Cloverfield 2 was already announced and on the way? Last I heard it was going to be the same event, different camcorder.
-
My best guess is that it's a fan-made thing.
-
Pause it around seconds 29 and 30 and you can see where the monster has been spliced in, sloppily, under the foreground. Its really bad. It looks more like a close up of a turtle and not the cloverfields monster. Its fake.
-
Fuck, we don't need a sequel to Cloverfield. We need a movie take the basic idea of Blair Witch meets Godzilla and actually fucking use it. Cloverfield did not do that. After thirty fucking god-damned minutes of watching the world's most boring emo send-off party nothing on planet earth could have made that fucking movie redeemable. I get that you need a hook to have these people move around, but I don't fucking care. By the time monster showed up, I didn't care about these Dawson Creek rejects. I absolutely loathed them. I wanted them all to fucking die and show me someone interesting. Follow the fucking soldier who tells them about the helicopter, his story must be far more entertaining. I guess what I'm saying is that Cloverfield is an awesome idea, but they fucked it up so hard the first time I'm still too bored to care about a sequel.
-
I call fake. Something about the production quality seems a little off, even for a "viral" youtubes video... plus the "monster" looks like reused footage from the face-to-face scene at the end of the movie, which I know isn't unheard of, but still. It all just feels too ham-fisted and sloppy.
-
whyyyyyyyyyy? no really, why? It's been proven that America cannot make a proper giant monster movie. We're known for baysplosions and nonsense action movies, and the Japanese make awesome WTF movies about girls with chainsaws for boobs and giant monster movies.
-
Cloverfield was pretty good. Sure, it's Godzilla meets Blair Witch Project, but it was scary and realistic.
