Cloverfield and Lost's J.J. Abrams + Real Life N.Y. Clue/Puzzle Apartment = New Movie

J.J. Abrams is starting work on a new movie inspired by this crazy ass puzzle house in New York. It's a bit difficult to explain, but I'd love to see it someday.


Here's an excerpt from the article that might help.

"The finale involved, in part, removing decorative door knockers from two hallway panels, which fit together to make a crank, which in turn opened hidden panels in a credenza in the dining room, which displayed multiple keys and keyholes, which, when the correct ones were used, yielded drawers containing acrylic letters and a table-size cloth imprinted with the beginnings of a crossword puzzle, the answers to which led to one of the rectangular panels lining the tiny den, which concealed a chamfered magnetic cube, which could be used to open the 24 remaining panels, revealing, in large type, the poem written by Mr. Klinsky."

The aparment even comes with its own book and soundtrack. So if anyone wanted to do some Indiana Jones clue stuff...that's the house. Click pic.
