Here's one of the alternate endings, courtesy of Yahoo movies, including a new Coney Island scene. It's not that different, but it's worth watching to appreciate how much restraint the final edit of Cloverfield shows, since this version seems to spell things out a bit more, and is a maybe bit more over-the-top than the theatrical version. The other deleted ending includes guys digging out the camera from the rubble. [Yahoo movies, via Sliceofscifi]

Now at last, the secret original ending turned up online a few days ago, thanks to the impending March 18 release of the Legend on DVD. Sadly, it's not much better than the theatrical version — but at least it doesn't suddenly turn into M. Night Shyamalan's Village. Which version do you prefer?
