I mean, so what he's done lost, do I really care that its a JJ Abrams movie? Would I be more or less excited had i not known? I just think he's playing a little game with us using his ego.

FROM AICN: Hey folks, Harry here... There's conspiracy theories abounding regarding JJ's little flick to juice us up for his badass STAR TREK recreation. So JJ Abrams wrote me to give us all a clue, cuz we're at square one of this mystery! But note... the game sites apparently have nothing to do with JJ. And also... he seems to be stating that you guys have yet to find all the sites he's put up... and yes, you'll have to find them. The man is laughing at you, me and all of those hiding in the shadows. SO... find em if you can... let us know here at AICN... seems we have a scavanger hunt, ain't it cool? Dear Sir, Thanks for your support of our little movie. I can't wait to talk to you more about it -- of course, knowing you, by the time we talk you'll know more than I will. Regarding the online stuff you posted: yeah, we're doing some fun stuff on the web. But, obviously, if the movie doesn't kick some massive ASS, who gives a rat's about what's online? So as you can imagine, we're focusing mostly on THAT. For what it's worth, the only site of ours that people have even FOUND is the 1-18-08.com site. The others (like the Ethan Haas sites) have nothing to do with us. Stay cool the rest of the summer -- and thanks per usual for AICN! JJ Looks like we’re heading in the wrong direction!!

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your support of our little movie. I can’t wait to talk to you more about it — of course, knowing you, by the time we talk you’ll know more than I will.

There's a puzzle on the front page (works like the old Simon toy) and if you break it, there's a video behind it. Then there's another puzzle behind it. Still working on it. If this is some kind of Lovecraft flick, I will freak the fuck out. Looks like ethahaaswasright.com is part of an alternate reality game.

That's been tightly underwraps too. However, I've been hit with a tidbit that has me very curious. Here's one of several emails I've received about this project... Hey Harry, I'm sure you are already on top of this, but if you're not, google "Ethan Haas". There are two new viral sites for the new JJ Abrams project, and some of the names thrown around on the sites, including Mezin, Alhazred, and references to a "Mad" prophet lead me (and several bloggers) to believe this project has something to do with Lovecraft's Old Ones. Please jump all over this one and let us know what the hell is going on! A JJ Abrams Lovecraft project would be unreal!!! Aaron Well - doing that leads you to this painfully annoying site: EthanHaasWasRight.Com At this stage - it's a rumor. Is JJ playing with Cthulhu? Is this film about the ancients returning to tear our world asunder? Is it really going to be captured entirely through hand held cameras operated by us mere ants?

Well – doing that leads you to this painfully annoying site: EthanHaasWasRight.Com

At this stage – it’s a rumor. Is JJ playing with Cthulhu? Is this film about the ancients returning to tear our world asunder? Is it really going to be captured entirely through hand held cameras operated by us mere ants? OR – is that just the marketing push?

It's seemed so real. I think it taps into our fears of 9-11 again. With Abrams involved you know it'll be intense. By the way Transformers was fantastic. I was completely surprised how much I enjoyed the movie. Definitely check it out. A lot of fun for a popcorn flick. The new Camaro is sweet! I drove a 69 Camaro SS back in high school so it was great to see the old body style return. -Retroman DC www.dchighway.com Yup I just got back from Transformers and the trailer for Project Cloverfield (or whatever the heck they’re going to call it) was there ad was insanely cool. that bad camcorder capture of it doesn’t do it justice.

It's a ground-level view of monster mayhem in a major city. From what I hear, it's scheduled to be released in January and the pitch for the movie was that short that you saw. The studio bought it right away. The concept is great. It’s a ground-level view of monster mayhem in a major city.

I saw Transformers today and was wondering WTF was going on with that trailer. At first I thought it was just some winner of a movie short project or something. There were some ads for Coke or Sprite or something like that where a UFO is attacking and the kid pulls out a really poorly CGI'd Rocket launcher which was a representation of what he could do as a fimmaker. I will say though that the trailer had me REALLY intregued. SO THAT’s WHAT THAT TRAILER WAS FOR!!!! I saw Transformers today and was wondering WTF was going on with that trailer.
