Just got in from seeing Transformers and here’s my review…it’s a great summer movie with mind-blowing effects that you will not believe. If the concept of giant friggin’ robots kicking each other’s metallic butts evokes any reaction whatsoever…it’s the movie for you. And Shia LaBeouf is going to be a HUGE star.

But during that whole spectacle, the thing that kept coming back into my mind was this little teaser that immediately preceded the film. If you haven’t seen it yet, I really don’t want to ruin it. Suffice it to say that J.J. Abrams, the ‘Lost’ mastermind, is making a monster movie.

A big monster movie.

If you’re like me you’ve heard nothing about it. So being the diligent fan that I am, I rounded up what little info there is about the film. The most complete list I could find comes from AICN, but I’ll sum it up here:

- The giant monster is referred to internally as “The Parasite”
- The majority of the film will be shot on handheld cameras, as if from the perspective of citizens of New York under attack
- It will be a relatively small film but will deliver some “big thrills” like an Manhattan-leveling earthquake or an oil tanker capsizing near the Statue of Liberty…or, you know, what we saw in the trailer

Personally, this is my most anticipated movie right now. I know that Michael over at Filmsy and ForeverGeek enjoyed the heck out of it too, so keep your eyes here and there for more info as it develops.
