Those of you wondering about Pete Wentz’s assertion that Fall Out Boy’s Infinity On High directly inspired Cloverfield–and worried about the eleven billion nausea-inducing tribute videos and fanfics such a paring would inspire–can put your suspicions to rest: Screenwriter Drew Goddard merely said that he listened to the album a lot during his writing of the movie, and that he wasn’t mentally working out some Wizard Of Oz-slash-Pink Floyd-style mashup while drafting its pages. Well, OK, this news probably won’t stop the fanfictioneers, but then again, a monster attack on New York City probably wouldn’t either. They’re that dedicated! [MTV / Photo: Getty]
