does anyone know the name of this movie???

I go to the movies alot, and I always see this trailer of a movie where some people are throwing a party and suddenly an earthquake happends fallowed by a roar. Then they go to the roof of the apartments and suddenly a big explosion happends and they all start freacking out. When they go to the streets you see balls of fire flying around the buildings, and one of those balls of fire happends to be the head of the statue of liberty meaning the film is based on New York. No matter how much attetion I put into the trailer it dosent seem to have a title.

    CLOVERFIELD~release date 1/18/08

    "Whatever it is, it's winning!"

    As far as I know, they just keep teasing us with that. People are trying to figure out what the threat is~perhaps some sort of creature from H.P. Lovecraft, dragon(s), shapeshifting monster, etc.

    Here are some sites, including the official one:

    http://www.cloverfieldmovie.com/

    IMDB site:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1060277/

    "Revolves around a monster attack in New York as told from the point of view of a small group of people."

    WIKIPEDIA site and information:

    Production

    J. J. Abrams (of "Lost" TV series fame) conceived of a new monster after he and his son visited a toy store in Japan. He explained, "We saw all these Godzilla toys, and I thought, we need our own monster, and not King Kong, King Kong's adorable. I wanted something that was just insane and intense." In February 2007, Paramount Pictures secretly greenlit Cloverfield, to be produced by J. J. Abrams, directed by Matt Reeves, and written by Drew Goddard. The project is under production by Abrams' company, Bad Robot Productions.

    The casting process was carried out in secret, with no script being sent out to candidates. With production estimated to have a budget of $30 million, filming began in mid-June in New York. One cast member indicated that the film would look like it cost $150 million because the producers did not cast recognizable and expensive actors. Location filming, shot in digital video using hand-held video cameras, took place on Coney Island, with scenes being shot at Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park and the B&B Carousel. Some interior shots were filmed on a soundstage at Downey, California. ...

    Plot speculation

    The sudden appearance of the untitled trailer for Cloverfield (as a trailer before "Transformers") fueled media speculation over the film's plot. USA Today reported the possibilities of the film being based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, a live-action adaptation of Voltron, a new film about Godzilla, or a spin-off of the TV show Lost. The Star Ledger also reported the possibility of the film being based on Lovecraft lore or Godzilla. The Guardian also reported the possibility of a Lost spin-off, while Time Out reported that the film was about an alien called The Parasite. IGN also backed the possibility of the same premise, with The Parasite also being the working title for the film. Chocolate Outrage was also a working title at one point during production. In chats, Slusho and Colossus have been discussed as possible titles. Entertainment Weekly also disputed reports that the film would be about a parasite or a colossal Asian robot such as Voltron.

    NOTE: "Cloverfield" is the working title. Whether this will be the final title is yet to be seen.

    It didn't have a title until recently to gain attention and increase public interest. It's called Cloverfield and looks like an awesome "end of the world" movie...

    Actually, they just released the movie poster with the title Cloverfield on it, so it is now the official title.

    It's a new Godzilla-like flick coming out in '08.

    MystMoon is right. It comes out January 18.
