Ethan Haas/1-18-08

Just a quick thought about this...turns out that the majority of the Ethan Haas sites were flat out fakes, but oh boy, did the majority of people believe them. Apparently only a few were real and connected with that freaky movie trailer without a title in front of Transformers. The Slusho site is real, as is 1-18-08. Plus the trailer located at apple.com.

Rumors were everything from a Voltron movie (WTF? B,BQ!) to a Godzilla revisit to a Cthulhu movie. Turns out, none of it true, per se. It apparently will take some cues from Lovecraft, but it won't be a Cthulhu movie. It'll be shot Handi-cam style, much as Blair Witch was. And it'll apparently be some kind of giant monster movie. So if true, the still as yet untitled "Cloverfield Project" will be a sort of Gozilla/Cthulhu/Blair Witch hybrid.

Add in J.J. Abrahms involvement and it seems like it could be a hell of a cool movie. Possibly something that Joe Six-Pack in Podunck, Middle America won't get; after all, it's not Fantastic Four or the latest Generic Black Steretype Comedy. But it sure sounds cool to me.

The biggest drawbacks? One, JJ will talk about it at the San Diego Comic Con (according to rumor) and I won't be there in time. And two? My first child is due a week before the movie...

Actually, none of the Ethan Haas sites are connected to that movie. It's something entirely different.
