JJ Abrams Top Secret Cloverfield Movie Trailer Attached To Transformers

We saw a screening of Transformers last night, but we weren't lucky enough to see what people are now referring to as the trailer to JJ Abrams Top Secret Movie titled Cloverfield. Our friends at FirstShowing were lucky enough to be at a screening that showed the trailer. Everyone who has seen it so far are calling it one of the coolest trailers ever. And the best part, it's for a movie no one really even knew existed. The trailer apparently ends without even a title, just "Produced by J.J. Abrams" and the release date "1.18.08". You can read the trailer description over at FS, but everyone is saying not to. People are saying this is a trailer you really need to experience yourself.

So what is Cloverfield? It's a giant monster movie (refferred internally as "The Parasite") which is shot using home video cameras from the point of view of real people who are experiencing the attack on New York City.
