Alright, well I already ruined the surprise for the poor saps on YouTube, so I guess I'll do the same for all of you.

Following in the giant footprints of the Transformers, a new movie coming out in 2008. Voltron! Fortunately, they're taking a much darker spin on the old 80's cartoon.

source? This would be AWESOME though. It fits too, since one of the people running said "I saw it! It's a lion! It's HUGE".

I'm just now realizing what a big deal this is. There are people with dozens of theories all over the internet. Makes me proud that OnRPG is one of the first to know.

meh. according to that site, it's just a theory. it's the best one i've heard yet, however. Though, i have serious doubts that this is a Voltron movie. According to IMDB, it's going to be shot entirely with ordinary video cameras, just like the trailer. I doubt they'd take that approach with the Voltron movie.

Fun facts: This film is actually untitled right now; however, in order to release the trailer to theaters, they had to call it something.

SO in such, you can find out more info about this be researching the name "Cloverfield" or "Project Cloverfield" as that was the temp name released on the trailers.

[edit] It's going to be a monster film, as slated from a leak from Paramount.
[edit again] The entire film is rumored to be shot entirely with film effect reflecting that of a low grade camera, essentially from the hands of a by goer. That trailer is supposed to be real footage from the movie.

[edit once more] I don't believe this is the trailer for Voltron, the blog even says they don't know. From the facts I've gathered by sluecing through the Internet, I know that this trailer is about a monster.

The movie is about a monster called the parasite. I could have the name wrong, but it's a monster movie, not a Voltron movie. Also, they don't say "it's a lion", the man said "it's alive".

I saw this on the previews in the movie theater while waiting for Transformers to start, it was really cool with the surround sound, and the big screen.

And that'll be the only movie's TP (Traler Package) with the "Cloverfield" trailer on it. Theaters don't randomly throw trailers onto movie, we are given a list and stick them on in that order. If we don't we get fined by the movie studios who pay to have their trailers on the specified movie.

I seriously hate when people film teasers like its coming from a low tech video camera. It makes things look really piss poor and if you throw CGI in it it will look like shit and, it makes the CGI stand out like a clown in a room full of Samurai's.


Also its not Voltron...no chance in hell.


Oh right, I think this is really a video game....don't ask why because I plan to explain later.

No, he actually does say "Lion". I have heard rumors that the "parasite" is also some reference to Cthulu.

And, to poke a hole in my own Voltron theory. The script of Voltron starts 5 years after the alien invasion of earth, which would make this footage way too early in the timeline for the film (unless there's a brief intro like this before the movie starts).
