Well, not really. But despite the internet furour the last week over the Ethan Haas ARG, it's not part of the marketing campaign for the upcoming JJ Abrahms project codenamed Cloverfield. However, there is a LOT of information out there for BOTH of these projects. It's just that the Ethan Haas viral marketing is for an upcoming tabletop RPG called Alpha-Omega from MindStorm Labs. So, if you google Cloverfield you'll probably run across Ethan Haas stuff and visa versa. So here's a list of Ethan Haas related links, Cloverfield links will follow.

The Nightly Nerdlinger News, Ethan Haas edition
Is there a Cthulhu movie in the works?
We can only hope so, but chances are looking good. Several sites ahve been posting about a JJ Abrams project code named Cloverfield. Also it's been reported that the movie being directed by Matt Reeves, a writer on Felicity and director of The Pallbearer. Now there's a couple viral advertising type sites devoted to the project, one called Ethan Haas was right, has an annoying little puzzle, or rather a series of puzzles and videos (I'm on the third puzzle now). But some of the bits coming out point to this movie having something to do with variously, "The Parasite" ( a name leaked about the creature in the movie ) The Old Ones and Abdul Al Hazred. Supposedly it's to be a giant monster movie shot by hand held cameras as if it's unfolding before you. Also the other viral site is a blog called The Truth of Ethan Haas that sheds even more light on this project. You can find walkthroughs of the puzzles on these sites Jay is Games and Escape the Room.
Strangely, since it's a viral marketing campaign there's already backlash, only 3 days into the campaign ( started about July 3rd ) Check out this anti-Ethan Haas blog, done in a parody of The Truth of Ethan Haas, which seems to be an attempt to get you to go buy t-shirts since every link goes to some place called dareware clothing, a cafepress venture that specializes in rude t-shirts, but nothing about the movie. An official seeming site is at http://www.1-18-08.com/ with a couple movable pics up, plus a domain for the working title was registered, http://www.cloverfieldmovie.com/, and until today, you were redirected to Paramount when you went there, now it's just a blank site, no redirect.
There was also a teaser clip with no title in front of Transformers, which I will probably see tomorrow. Go check the clip out NOW, paramounts yanking them as fast as they go up, this was the 5th site I went to looking for it, You Tube's already yanking it as fast as it's posted.
Personally, I HATE shakycam movies like Blair Witch, but I'd be willing to put up with that for a good Cthulhu movie.
I'll be updating as I find more info.
