Tease So Good

That J.J. Abrams – he sure knows how to keep his fans guessing.

Cloverfield is the know-as name for an as-of-yet untitled movie produced by Abrams, directed cinema-verité-style on digital video by Abrams’ Felicity co-creator Matt Reeves, and scripted by Drew Goddard, a writer on TV’s Lost (which Abrams executive produces).

The movie is set to open on Jan. 18, 2008…although I wouldn’t be surprised if, given the buzz it’s generating, it were moved to a more respectable month – say, March – or even early next summer.
