A new teaser for the forthcoming monster-based thriller Cloverfield has been placed online.

Cloverfield
- 28 Jan 2008
The party crasher from Hell, the monster at the heart of Cloverfield doesn't have a name. He might be the son of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, or second cousin to Godzilla. We do know he's big, angry, and like countless other immigrants, he made his way into Manhattan by way of the port. He sends the disembodied head of Lady Liberty uptown as a kind of calling card.

The Happening
- 11 Jun 2008
M Night Shyamalan is drawn to the supernatural like a moth to a light. So when a bunch of high school biology students kick around theories for the unexplained disappearance of tens of thousands of honey bees in the last couple of years, it's no surprise that the hypothesis their teacher, Mr Moore (Mark Wahlberg) likes best is that this is a natural event we will probably never fully understand. Let that be a lesson to us all, because while audiences will probably spend a good deal of the trim Read more
