Slusho Appears in Star Trek

admin — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 18:46:08 +0000

Everyone here remembers Slusho! The magical drink from Japan that turned out to have no real significance in the movie itself. Well apparently as a “goof” JJ Abrams decided to give it a cameo in the new Star Trek movie. Apparently it makes an appearance in the bar scene where Kirk first meets Uhura. Abrams said that it doesn’t have anything to do with anything really (in terms of Star Trek), it was just a fun sort of easter egg for fans of Cloverfield and Alias. So don’t expect to see HUD making a bootleg video of the Enterprise in the background of shots or the Cloverfield monster destroying stuff. Although, if you’ve watched the trailer for Star Trek there is a crazy looking creature that does resemble Clovie…hmmm.

Anyways, if you want to read the entire article/interview with JJ about the Star Trek movie, head on over to MTV.

Matt Reeves Talks Cloverfield 2

There is some more chatter from Matt Reeves regarding a sequel to Cloverfield. He recently gave an interview to MTV about the status of the sequel and what ideas they were throwing around. Apparently the studio wants a sequel, of course, but they want to make sure they have an interesting story to tell. And that story may or may not take place right after the original. Reeves mentions that they threw around the idea of having the monster attack Japan and having the story kind of “intersect” with the original movie, but not necessarily follow it or come before it. I’m just happy they are still having discussions about the sequel and of course whenever I hear anything, I will post it here. So make sure you sign up for the mailing list on the right side of the page. You will be emailed when there are new posts here and only when there are new posts. I will not email you for anything else, or spam you with any crap, strictly Cloverfield News.

Cloverfield Wins a Saturn Award

I’m not really familiar with the Saturn Awards but apparently it’s The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films and they have been giving away awards for 34 years! I’ll have to keep up with this from now on, it sounds really interesting. Anyways, Cloverfield won an award at the ceremony last night! It won the award for the Best Science Fiction Movie, beating out movies like Sunshine (which is a great movie if you haven’t seen it).

So congratulations to J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves on your win last night!
