Yes.
He works for an advertising agency that does taglines/box info for movies/games, so he gets to see movies early all the time. The other day we were hanging out and someone asked about Cloverfield and said the monster was basically a godzilla type (not exactly like godzilla, he said it was like one of the creatures Godzilla sometimes fights against) that spawned smaller creatures off its body that attacked people.
It's not like it's unheard of for big hollywood movies to be unoriginal, anyways.

Godzilla, but with things that spawn and jump off of his back. The more it gets shot, the more things spawn, and so on.

Wiki agrees that it's a Godzilla-like monster:
"J. J. Abrams conceived of a new monster after he and his son visited a toy store in Japan. He explained, "We saw all these Godzilla toys, and I thought, we need our own monster, and not King Kong, King Kong's adorable. I wanted something that was just insane and intense."[9] In February 2007, Paramount Pictures secretly greenlit Cloverfield, to be produced by J. J. Abrams, directed by Matt Reeves, and written by Drew Goddard. The project was produced by Abrams' company, Bad Robot Productions."
