Mysterious movie trailer before Transformers last night...

Mike Renzella

Saw Transformers last night: 'eh', good effects, and action, but overall just....'eh'.

BUT there was a trailer before the movie that really peaked my interest. It was shot hand-held style and showed a bunch of people at a party, when all of a sudden the lights go out, and they run up to the roof to see a huge explosion in downtown NYC. There was no title for this movie, and it moved way too quickly to really tell what it was about, but I am definetely interested in finding out more about it!!!

Anyone have any ideas what it was all about?

J.J. Abrams is responsible for the tv show Lost so this should be great.

Exactly. My husband said "Maybe it's the beginning of the movie?" My ten year old said "No, they haven't dimmed the lights yet."

I kept waiting for a Transformer to show up and step on Bob.
