One-Sheet Wonders! – The teaser poster for CLOVERFIELD (2008)

The rumor mill went into overdrive again last week as Babak Anvari, the director brought onboard to direct the first true sequel to CLOVERFIELD, gave just a few scraps of development details regarding the long-delayed project. Nothing much in the way of new info was offered, but I guess fans should just be happy that the goddamn thing is actually still being considered at this point.

This got me thinking about the very first poster I saw for CLOVERFIELD, way back circa late 2007. Though I love the theatrical poster we ended up with (featuring a headless Statue of Liberty and replete with a number of details and Easter eggs), Paramount’s teaser poster was horrifying in its simplicity. Showing a herculean shadow over a cramped and murky Manhattan, it offered only one word of advice: HIDE.
