With a little over a week to go before Cloverfield reaches theaters, it's time for the hype machine to kick into high gear -- which is why you've got a whole bunch of new J.J. Abrams-produced monster-movie goodness to feast your eyes on this morning!

We're talking specifically about 25 new stills, two new TV spots, and -- spoiler(s) alert! -- 38 pages of Cloverfield production notes. We've helpfully arranged everything at the links below, so dim the lights in your office, tell the boss you have a doctor's appointment, and spend the next hour or two taking an early look at stars Michael Stahl-David, Lizzy Caplan, Mike Vogel, Jessica Lucas, T.J. Miller, and Odette Yustman running for their lives. Click on each image to view the full gallery!

shots of the monster? why would they be here if the monster's not even gonna be in the movie? is there a monster at all? probly not. and no, it's not scarier to just imagine the monster. if that's what i'm expected to do, why sit through 2 hours of screaming and explosions caught on a DV cam? there will be no pay-off here.

There will be a monster and it will be disappointing to everyone on the internet and then EVERYONE will HATE it; yet it will succeed at the box office all the same. Hopefully, a sequel produced and directed by someone else (preferably someone no one's ever heard of)and the Cloverfield monster will fight Mothra or something.

I still think the monster will turn out to be a Mario Bowser.

After all, unbelievable as it may seem to some, there are people in the world that have NOT been feverishly following every tidbit, every morsel that Internet addicts have been slobbering all over for the last six months - there are even people that might go see "Cloverfield" with (*GASP*) an Open, Unbiased, Un-Hype-Scrambled brain.

The Horror....the Horror....somebody who reserves their opinion until AFTER they've actually seen the movie.

But, who cares about them, eh?

but that's what we do here, dave. we speculate. and then once the movie's out, we speculate on what might have been. it's kind of one of the main reasons to comment on this site. well, aside from trying to make fun of the speculators, right?

I think it will be a good movie....i think it will be more of a cross of some type of normal animal that the slusho crap ends up turning into a giant *almost like when the old cheesy power rangers would kick a monsters tail and then the main bad guy would make it get all giant....* wonder if in the sequel they end up having them morph over and clean up the ocean floor with this beast lol

I get the feeling that this movie will be like a Blair Witch kind of thing where the hype tells people it will be scary, but in reality it isn't. I mean, the acting in the commercials/trailers is terrible.

I read on a website that the monster in Cloverfield will in fact be The Stay Puff Marshmellow Man. This will be the monsters second big screen performance after his 1984 blockbuster "Ghostbusters".

If it were, I would definitely pay to see the old Stay Puft again!

/shrug I thought Blair Witch was a good suspense scare the first time I saw it.
Then again its a movie I will never see again.

The Slusho Monster comes to town! I'd be upset too, if I was made of so many different fun fruity flavors.

I read that the monster was a giant crying Hillary Clinton.

Sounds neat I can't wait; a first person narrative, a la, "Children of Men" hand held cameras and everyone walking around half dazed like 9/11. Hope they can pull it off. For me, I would love to see the "monster" as a "Human" giant, check out my, "teen giants" portfolio page.

Dahluzz,

Clearly someone hasn't been researching. Matt Reeves said it himself that you will see the monster in very intimate detail. Why do you think there won't be a monster when it clearly shows the back of it in the second trailer?

Aaaah, I'm too busy to hunt down glazed-over, sweaty little freaks with nothing better to do than bellyache that filmmakers have absolutely no right to make the movie that THEY want to make, instead of what the whiny, unpleasable fanboys want them to make. I got enough of those "The-World-Revolves-Around-ME" chowderheads here at work as it is...

I just intend to go see "Cloverfield" and THEN evaluate it on it's own merits, instead of crying all over my keyboard that it's not the Flaming Goddamn Masterpiece that I've been cranking myself up over since July - instead of the usual re-hashed, videogame-ripoff, incoherent 92-minute direct-to-DVD brain farts that comprise the vast bulk of movies today....

Yes we all get that the Statue of Liberty gets decapitated. Stop beating us over the head with it Abrams.

This movie looks like it could be very good, or very bad. I'll wait until after the movie though. I like it how they are going with something new though, by using the hand held camera to such an extent, as well as going back to a monster movie. Sounds like the makings or a good, fun movie.

Dave the Destroyer is right...clinically insane, but right.
