its the blair witch project of nyc.

The problem with that Joe is that a Cthulu is already coming out starring Tori Spelling.  And it sucks.  Hardcore.  There's no hint of the Cthulu monster, and the movie seems more about the Cthulu cult from Lovecrafts books than anything else.  Besides, Abrams said that the monster is entirely original.

The rumor last summer was that the theme would be Call of Cthulhu.  It looks like it is.

This rumor is likely false, i've been following the movie as best I can and Abrams basically says its a new monster of his own creation.  I definately wouldn't mind being wrong, but almost all signs point to it not being Cthulhu, Godzilla or anyone else we've seen before.

if you never get to see the monster then the movie (by MY definition) sucks &or will suck and sir renauderrie (sp) is right it is blair witch of nyc.. only with a bigger budget... movie sucks.. i bet a week after its out you hear/see commercials calling it the "number one movie in america".. BLEGH!

Hand Held Camera shots give me a headache.

Alex, why on earth would they show the monster in the commercials/previews if that is the basis of all their advertising?  Abrams and crew have been banking on the fact that people will go see the movie on the sheer sake that nobody has any legitimate idea what this thing looks like.  But you are right, once the movie premiers, it is either going to be a huge hit, or it is going to let a lot of people down.  Some sources point to some sort of creature that carries parasites into the city, hence the infection and insect sound coming from the subways.  then again, a lot of people say it is also going to look like a wierd deformed, mutated whale creature.  I suppose the only way to be certain is to wait until Thursday night.
