Real or fake, I put it to some use:

Thank you for our daily lesson in "How to Fail 101."

LP would be much better off not doing the whole "all I can see is one of his eyes" for the teaser. It reminds me too much of 1998 and would probably do the same for some of general public and confuse them into thinking it's a sequel or remake of GINO.

[Jomei]

Nothing about it seems convincing to me, and in the absence of any way to confirm its authenticity, it's better to assume it's a fan-made prank.

Reminds me of this shitty thing I made back in 2010 out of sheer boredom.

Also, the website has been edited. When Armand first posted this on the G2012 blog, the website had a bunch of keywords listed in its page source, a few examples being "cloverfield" and "godzilla 2" which helped bury the hatchet in my mind on its authenticity. Y'know, besides the skreeonk horrible fake poster.

EDIT: Wait, never mind, the website's page source still has its keywords listed as "Godzilla, 2012, Legendary Pictures, Fox, Movies, Toho, Teaser, Trailer, Cloverfield, Godzilla Returns, Godzilla Reborn, Godzilla 2, DVD, blu-ray, Disney, Jurassic Park, New Godzilla Movie, Godzilla 2012, Gojira, Monster Zero".

Anyway, glad it's fake.

Can't see it on my mobile, but if Chris55 says it's fake, i'll go with what he says, he always seems to know what's up behind the scenes.

You don't need to be behind the scenes to see how fake this crapola it.

[RodanRedux]

It seems fake to me.

[Showa Gyaos]

OKAY, I made the poster.

You guys take the fun out of everything...

[/sarcasm]

EDIT: Forgot to put the sarcasm note. Damn, now people are probably thinking I'm serious!

But the interesting thing is that http://www.godzilla2012.com is apparently real? :\ could someone more web savvy explains this maybe? when I go to that website I get a blank page, but it's a "real" web-page.

Does it roar if you leave it alone for 6 minutes?

Sauron doesn't belong on a Godzilla poster. None the less, I actually like the tagline and the "GODZILLA" text at the bottom looks very badass.

Wait... what?

Read up about the Cloverfield viral marketing campaign, specifically the early web advertising.

I think he's referencing the old Cloverfield website 1-18-08.com which would play Clover's roar if you stayed on the website for 8 minutes if I recall correctly.

Okay, i'll take your word for it too, as my phone will not load the picture in the blog, and i have no home internet

soooo i can't see the pic to know how fake it is lol

[HayesAJones]

I love that tagline.

[Showa Gyaos]

Taglines aren't everything either. They can slap the shittiest one on the poster and it wouldn't deter viewers.

[Tomzilla]

It's most likely fake.

But y'know what? It's part of the fun. Fan-made posters can be really awesome. Almost time to add new wallpapers..

[AVERY GUERRA]

The poster came to me in an email. I can't vouch for its authenticity:

I'll squash this before it get's any further. The poster and website are fake. They're just some elaborate prank, fan made, and nothing more. I've checked with a source close to the production and have now had this debunked. I'm sure we'll probably be seeing more such hoaxes up until the time L.P. decides to start releasing materials.
