So what is Cloverfield and why is it getting more buzz than the summer blockbuster(transformers) just launched by the same studio (paramount). Cloverfield is the working title of a secret JJ Abrams project that became the hottest fan-boy topic on the internet when its trailer preceded showings of the film Transformers this week.
Clips of the trailer were briefly posted to You Tube but quickly came down at the request of Paramount. Descriptions and discussion of the trailer are available and easily located at multliple sites but if you plan to see Transformers this weekend or don't mind waiting for Paramount to make the trailers officially available, then I suggest you wait for the real thing.
The movie, which may be called Parasite, involves an attack on Manhattan by a giant monster. The beast is not seen in the clip but the roars heard during the trailer have the blogosphere atwitter with speculation and the scene with the disembodied head of the Statue of Liberty hurtling through lower manhattan has them abuzz with anticipation.

Should be interesting to watch this campaign unfold. Some information may eventually be available on the films official website, http://www.1-18-08.com/ , but currently there are only two photos there.
