Cloverfield Bootleg

The creator of Lost stays in one night and instead of watching Legally Blonde 2 for the 100th time sticks Blair Witch in the cassette player (he’s retro), ‘ooh’ he says, he’s wee wee scared, hits eject and breathes a sigh of relief. Picking a channel at random Independence Day is nearly over and his adopted parrot JJ has just regurgitated a Godzilla toy he tore from the hands of an infant earlier that day.

‘I’ve had an idea’ says Lost creator and instead of calling Tom Cruise or his local Scientology sect for some kabbalah water he digs out his mobile phone and starts recording next doors house party.

That’s all made up, but Cloverfield, already a viral hit online is not, or actually it is, or is it? I’ve managed to confuse myself, but if you’ve seen the trailer you’ll appreciate this Cloverfield Bootleg, telling the tale of wannabee video pirates.
