Paramount has apparently sent DMCA "takedown" requests to YouTube to have copies of a teaser trailer showing before the hit Transformers movie.
Several copies of the trailer, seemingly shot in theaters with a camcorder, were posted on YouTube by Thursday morning. But by Thursday afternoon, some of those links had been taken down, replaced by an advisory saying, "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Paramount Pictures Corp."
Cloverfield, which revolves around a monster attack in New York as told from the point of view of a small group of people, is being produced by Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams.
The entire project has been shrouded in secrecy from the beginning. The cast was even selected with no scripts being sent out.
The question that immediately comes to mind is how Paramount would expect to maintain that level of secrecy while simultaneously showing the trailer in theaters.
