Film School Rejects: Real Cloverfield Monster Concept Art Revealed! Maybe…

  • Butch · 1 year ago
    All I know is that the monster better look completely and unequivocally AWESOME. Anything less than a 100% perfect, knock the cover off the ball home run after all this build up is going to be bad.

    Hey, isn't that the Rancor from Star Wars?
  • Khalif · 1 year ago
    I'm not to sure about the face. On the Slusho website that Abrams said was related to the movie, he said to carefully read the "History" Section because it would give you a clue as to what the movie and monster would be about. And in the history section it mentioned a whale. So I think that it would look more like a monster whale just like Godzilla started as a lizard and became a monster lizard. I just hope to God that it won't be like the horrible "Blair Witch Project" where they didn't even show the witch. And with the movie being in a POV type style of filming like "The Blair Witch Project" the guy/gal holding the camera had better get a long, great, and clear shot of the monster in action.

    That picture was done in 2003. I don't think that's it.
  • MF Dave · 1 year ago
    Khalif, I know what you mean but J.J. Abrams said that despite the lack of monster in the trailers and stuff, there will be a considerably large amount of screentime for it in the movie and that we will become "intimate" with it towards the end. I also hear that we see people getting eaten and ripped in half and stuff, so my guess is we'll be seeing a lot of him. Abrams just wanted to keep the monster under wraps as much as possible. He's even waiting to release a toy of the monster until after the movie comes out. All I know is, I can't wait and I will be there at midnight next week.

    @uhhh
    Waaa! People have interests other than my own. WAAAA!

    Lets see... socializing with others about what about mutual interests
    OR
    Trolling message boards to tell complete strangers that they have no lives.
    Seems to be a clear cut case of the pot calling the kettle black.
  • Khalif · 1 year ago
    Thanks for clearing that up for me MF Dave. I was 50-50 on seeing it or download it to save my money if it was going to be a Blair witch project screw up. Now I'm 100% sure that I want to see it.
  • Blobson · 1 year ago
    I've seen the Cloverfield monster. Take my word, this ain't it, it has longer arms.
  • Modemmute · 1 year ago
    I said consummate V's! CONSUMMATE!!! Geez. Guy wouldn't know majesty if it came up and bit him in the face.
  • Jarrod · 1 year ago
    Brilliant Modemmute...also notice that this image only shows one beefy arm. IS Trogdor the
    Cloverfield monster??!

    lame
  • Reetard · 1 year ago
    Nope. The trailers on tv today show some tentacle things grabbing junk. No sloppy dangly arms on this thing.
  • datank · 1 year ago
    i think that is the monster because i seen a video of youtube that in the cover of Cloverfield on the clouds theirs a piece of the cloud that has the monsters face and it looks the same thing like the toy here
  • JRowe3388 · 1 year ago
    This was done in 2003. That's what K03 in the corner means. Konig 03.
  • knucklehead · 1 year ago
    I heard the monster is a giant GILBERT GOTTFRIED.
  • metallix200 · 1 year ago
    cant be that, seeing as how in the trailer it looks like it has some long thing, probably a tentacle, thats on the back of its head
  • Katie · 1 year ago
    Also, Sbrams said in an interview that there are definitely tentacles involved.
  • Katie · 1 year ago
    Sbrams = Abrams
  • NEG · 1 year ago
    I HOPE THE MONSTER DONT LOOK LIKE A RHINO CUZ WE WERE PROMISED A MONSTER THAT WOULD SHED KING KONG TO BITS. HIGHTLY DOUBT A HUGE RHINO WOULD BE A BIG UPGRADE BUT THE COCEPT SORT OR MATCHES THE QUICK FLASH ON THE NEWEST TRAILER. LETS WAIT AND SEE.
  • Neil Miller · 1 year ago
    Hey there kids!

    I just got and email from Pete Konig himself this afternoon. Here what he had to say about the photo above:

    "Nope...haha...nice try though."

    So there you have it -- it is not the real Cloverfield monster. But then again, we knew from the beginning that it probably wasn't. I'll be interested to see though, how close we really were. Sneak Preview screenings start on January 15! If you get a look at the monster, email me at neil@filmschoolrejects.com and let me know.

    That monster looks like Godzilla

    All I heard was that it was meant to be Cthulhu, although this could be old rumours that I heard last :\

  • dash riprock · 1 year ago
    In the movie trailer it knocks Liberty's head out of the park and into downtown manhattan so I suspect it's something that has an intense dislike of statuary. Perhaps a massive pigeon.
  • Nozomi Kishiro · 1 year ago
    Wrong. I promise you...
    It's only semi-bipedal. The legs are much shorter than
    the arms which have hands of uneven finger lengths,
    (One finger/claw on both of the front hands is longer than the rest).
    It seems to walk on it's wrists. You dont see the face until about
    the halfway point of the movie when the gang is fleeing
    into the subway. It's eyes (we only saw two) are
    black, and on the sides of it's head are membranous
    sacs, that later in the movie, you get a very good look at.
    It has teeth that interlock much like an crocodile.
    It has a large tail with 3 fins on the end.
  • LN · 1 year ago
    all i wanted to know is what a cloverfield was and now im not interested in it anymore.
  • LN · 1 year ago
    yeah id like to see the movie because it looks scary but i dont believe there is something out there like that that is real. it just seems to fictional to me because there is no proof of a real sighting of one of these things. come on, get real!
  • Alison · 1 year ago
    LN-- I want to make sure I'm understanding you. You don't want to see a sci-fi/horror film
    about a giant monster destroying NYC, because it doesn't seem REAL? I mean, are you
    serious? It's not a documentary, it's a movie about a monster.
  • Brad · 1 year ago
    If anyone plays city of heroes, this looks like the white dwarf for the peacebringers or the

    A wise man once said "JJ Abrams, all sizzle, no steak....just ask any Lost fan"

    don't know who said it but he/she was right on....
  • Doug · 1 year ago
    I seriously think it could be Jurassic Park 4. Dinos trained to use weapons. Obviously DNA enhanced with human qualities. Hmmm... Slusho anyone? :)
  • pearljman · 1 year ago
    I just saw the movie at a private screening, and you ALL are wrong. The monster is something entirely new. It's funny, I went through the whole web and found that JJ has done a great job at concealing the monster.

    Just wait, you all will be terrified, it's awesome, in every way shape and form.

    I saw a screening of the movie last night... the pic is not even close.
  • Curtis · 1 year ago
    Not it.
  • Curtis · 1 year ago
    Its not dragonlike at all, and it is not bipedal. I saw the movie last night in a special screening. it has 2 sets of arms, one which extends way in front of it and are VERY long and gangly, but seem to serve to counter balance the very long tail. The second set of arms seem very small and trex like compared to its huge legs, but are actually very versatile and strong. The head is slightly humanoid, but only in the fact that it is small compared to the rest of the body. It does not fly, it has no powers (spitting fire, etc). It is monstrous, about 30 stories tall most of the time. I say most of the time, because it can stand VERY tall when it uses those huge arms to push it up off the ground. it does eat people, altho most of the people eating is left to the parasites that fall off its body as it walks through the city. They sort of look like a miniature version, but with more legs, and a beak instead of a jaw. It doesnt disappoint.

    I've seen the movie, its my ex-wife!!!
  • Dash Riprock · 1 year ago
    I've seen it too. And you're right, it is your ex-wife!
  • Rob · 1 year ago
    Well if you watch the slow mo of the monster walking by, it does have that "back scab" that is in the model above....this model could be the right one or very close to it.
  • Wellthen Thatsit · 1 year ago
    It's a big rat dude. Someone in NY left their pet cage open, the rat got out, lived in the sewer, ate all the sewage, over time got big, then turned into Master Splinter. hahaha just kidding. It's Godzilla's enemy, Deathla...

  • andrew · 1 year ago
    this actually is the other monster in the movie!!! people are so blind there were 2 monsters in the movie!!! Its jj abrams little secret...remember one had claws to rip the statue off and the other one had spores as fingers. One stood upright and the other stood low....ONE was HUGE and the other was smaller.....hahah ive seen the movie a lot....trust me....the poster is the biggest hint
  • aimee · 1 year ago
    thats not the monster, can't wait to see the fim though
  • boogy man · 1 year ago
    Hmmm. This leads me to think that there are two monsters *SPOILERS* The statue of liberty and her head are both seen scarred with claw marks. the monster seen throughout most of the movie has no visible claws. Also, the creature walking between the buildings seen directly after the statues head crashes into the streets looks much more like this concept art drawing than the other one. This one is also way bigger than the one shown in the rest of the movie, which explains how it got the head in the first place and how at the end when the fighter jets are flying into the city when the other monster is standing right there in central park.
    Just a thought.
  • boogy man · 1 year ago
    yah pretty much what andrew said
  • I Saw The Movie!!! · 1 year ago
    HA HA HA .......This is not the monster the monster had 2 Large arms 2 Small arms and 2 legs 2 big large eggplant shape eyes and 1 large red breathing thing on each side of it's head and razor sharp teeth.
  • I Saw The Movie!!! · 1 year ago
    and yea boogy man and andrew are right to.
  • Chuck Norris Could kill it · 1 year ago
    Yeah...but why have 2 different type of gigantic monsters? One of the interesting parts of monster movies, is where they came from. How can JJ Abrams possibly find a logical explanation to 2 completely different types of monsters?
  • Chris · 1 year ago
    The things that fall off it are parasites, not babies. They resemble spider-esque creatures with serrated beaks. Their bite causes people to explode (which I thought kinda dumb). It would have been better to have htem infected and die.

    There were not 2 monsters. The main monster when viewed from the air reminded me quite a bit of Golum from LOTR in that it was gangly. It is not 100% bipedal as the monster here is. It is not armored on the back nor have horns as this monster and other fan art experiences I've seen have. I did not notice the smaller set of arms but it could be there. Its head was humanoid, but had huge teeth outside the mouth like a crocodile might. It did have some sort of air/breathing sacs on the side of its head. It does not EAT people, it does taste them - the final scene has it trying to eat Hud but then it spits him out. He is presumably not food for the creature, although the creature tried to taste him.

    Overall I found the movie really cool for the tired old "monster destroys city" genre. Keeping the monster hidden during the film helped the suspense, and its funny even now there are very few sites with pictures of the actual monster. They did a great job keeping things secret. The one thing I did find kinda dumb was how the monster showed up everywhere the 5 New Yorkers ran. It was outside their apartment, then it was in the water and destroyed the bridge, then showed up near Beths, then finally ended up in central park with them. This is incredibly bad luck and just not believeable. It would have been much better to have alternated threats more, and replaced one or two of those scenes with the parasites attacking/chasing rather then have the beast itself continually follow them around. Other then that, really great flick with lots of suspense. I especially liked how the audience (which is normally full of annoying, rude, loud twits) would go so silent as to hear a pin drop during certan scenes - like trying to hear beths message, and when the monster looked down at Hud. It was obvious to me they were quite involved in the story.......

    Good job JJ! I liked your movie well enough that here I am on the Internet the day after I saw it trying to google for an actual good picture of the monster to take a 2nd look because it was so intriguing..
