#39 – New Movie

Ok, so what I’m thinking is taking the basic theme behind Cloverfield and expanding it further than it already is. If you step into Cloverfield knowing it’s a monster flik, but not knowing it’s a monster flik, that would be pretty cool. But what if you can go into a movie not even knowing what type of movie it was? You could do it 1 of 2 ways..purposefully deceive the public, or just keep it totally secret.

By deceive I mean have parts of comedy in the movie. So, when you make a trailer to the movie, you can use the comedic parts to present what appears to be a comedy. The movie might start out with that vibe, but soon a giant monster is coming and eating people and throwing buildings around. What’s being done now is nearly putting yourself in their shoes. They don’t know what the monster is, or that there is one. You, as the audience, know that there is one. If you take away that, then you have a “real life” feel to it.

Yes? No? Maybe so?
