The reason why Paramount hasn’t pulled it is because the trailer contains a rabbit hole to a new ARG. It was *meant* to be closely scrutinized and the results can be found here:

No way near as cool as the Cloverfield trailer but interesting nevertheless.

I was one of the few who didn’t like JJ’s Star Trek. Hated it actually and considered really bad movie making. I never got saw MI3 and never got into Alias or Lost. I thought cloverfield was kinda cool but nothing amazing. I do like Fringe though and find that the series is improving and has improved a great deal from the first season.

Overall I’m kind of up and down with JJ. I don’t think he’s a genius but I do think his promotions are slick and his ideas are interesting but usually borrowed.

The trailer here looks cool but feels familiar like I’ve seen it before. Again this idea from JJ seems cool but, slick trailer, but at the same time also seems borrowed.

J.J. Abrams is a gimmick. Maybe spend more time on being a FILMMAKER and less time on shitty mystery trailers that NEVER pay off…

Well Rust it’s not really viral marketing. It’s just a trailer that doesn’t tell you everything thats gonna happen in the movie. It’s like inception’s early trailers, I for one love that keep on keeping on JJ.

It’s still online btw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkvKfmaVFJg

I dont know, I’m sick of JJ and his bullshit viral marketing campaigns. Cloverfield was ok, but really a waste of really good idea. Hopefully this will be better.
