Cloverfield, the year?s first monster hit, hits DVD next Tuesday. Did you catch it in theaters? If not, then you?ve got quite a lot to look forward to. Since the movie is designed to resemble ?found? handheld videocamera footage shot by an amateur documenting the destruction of New York at the hands (or are they feet?) of some weird gargantuan creature, Cloverfield looks even scarier on your home video system! To help prepare yourself?before your town gets trashed by a creepy alien whatchamacalit?check out our exclusive video interviews with the Cloverfield cast and director Matt Reeves, and a special videoblog recorded by two of our editors who got a chance to hang out with the cast at an exclusive, outrageous Cloverfield party in New York. (Trust us, you won?t find these videos on the DVD!) Then, why not treat yourself to our video interview with Lost/Alias/Cloverfield producer J.J. Abrams, and find out how he first came up with the idea behind what?s arguably the best mainstream genre film so far this year!
