Saw this before Iron Man 2. Exciting teaser.

Hope it matches the awesomeness of Cloverfield.

That seems neat. Can't wait to see more of it.

Finally, the snuff sequel to 8MM we've all been waiting for!

I'm glad that it dosen't look like it has a lot of shaky cam.

@snide: damn snide your all over today

Looks cool. Hopefully it doesn't semi-disappoint like Cloverfield.

That is the very definition of a Teaser Trailer. ARRRRRG

All I want is an old-fashioned creature feature. Should be fun.

I am unreasonably excited for this. 
Damn you JJ!!!!

Looks fucking awesome!

A great teaser, I won't see it but it looks good.

Cloverfield just didn't cut it. The dialogue was awful, the way they practically waited for the camera to be on them before speaking, i didn't like it.  Don't get me wrong I'm all for homages to The Twilight Zone and the like, I just hope JJ, who I have the utmost respect for, creates something truly amazing akin to Fringe, Lost, Alias, on the big one. 
 
Looks interesting though.

Yeah, Cloverfielddidn't deliver for me, so I'm wary of another JJ Abrams monster movie debacle. Consider me wary.

@CletusTheFoetus:@Matt: just remember though that Abrams did not write or direct Cloverfield.  This is an Abrams creation, not someone else's and it has Spielberg's name attached to it, which, at least for me, is a big plus.

@kariyanine: very true, and I did have particular issue with the directing/acting, though being a producer, JJ had a lot of input into it and maybe, if he felt it was his call, could have pushed for something a little different. From the trailers of Cloverfield I got a good sense of what I wanted to get from that film. Unfortunately the film was sullied somewhat.

I did like Cloverfield, so he has my attention already. I think I'll keep and eye on this one.
