New movie before transfomers ………on 1-08-2008 is Voltron

I repeat…….Voltron

Robert on Jul 6, 2007

you may be kidding, i realize, but for all the voltron hopefulls, lets all remember that the fully formed voltron is like 60 ft. tall max. and as far as " its a lion, its huge" conspiracists….the lions themselves range in size from a large caddy to a stretch hummer. IT ISNT VOLTRON!! its just a big destructive mofo.

Okay so I have been trying to get some clues…here is what I've found so far..

1.) J. J. Abrams is producing.
2.) The name Ethan Haas is VERY important.
3.) Cloverfield is the throw-off name, no title as of yet..(Just like how Ice Planet was the throw-off name for Titanic that James Cameron gave.)
4.) The whole movie is being done from the view of camcorders. Some are saying its going to be an alien invasion movie through the eyes of regular people with camera's.
5.) They may not even be done shooting it yet.
6.) Paramount claims they have no knowledge of the movie yet the only way to see the trailer now is to go see transformers due to Paramount putting a serious cease and desist order on July 5th. (Not them my ass.)
7.)The movies release date is Jan. 18th 2008.
8.) It might be a movie making of a Lovecraft horror story.
9.) There is a website http://www.1-18-2008.com which shows the picture of the two girls in the movie who look scared in the camera. in the corner it has that date and the time…now if you look in the bible for that time it is matthew 12:36 ""I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak." Which it is very abrams like to put wierd stuff like this together.
10.) In the picture of the two girls you can see a weird image in their hair and in their eyes is a reflection somewhat..
11.) on the blog and on the game site there are like story/poet seeming quotes that I would indicate being something totally NOT voltron.

There are two websites which are the only real clues to this movie ..one is a "blog" which is a fake blog with clues from I'm assuming some character for the movie…the other is a website which is puzzles and after you beat the puzzles it gives you trailer clips or clues..The one website is http://www.ethanhaaswasright.com and the other which is the blog is http://ethanhaaswaswrong.blogspot.com/

"…war came, no longer from the elemental nor from the stars rain of fire. The world was again remade, and the glow was as the coming sun upon the Earth. The children of the gods were again too few, scattered and divided and among them walked the ancients and those whose thoughts were not as to the towers and the marvels but to the End and the destruction of Earth and to the fires from which nothing could escape. "

"The great war of the gods will come upon the earth; the fires and terror of their rule will return for a time, but the children of the gods may be thus prepared, themselves aware and powerful…they may stand along side the gods not as equals, but as allies, feared and ready."

"The great cycle, the beginning and the end, turns just as the plans of the gods turn once again to the world of men.

And they will come upon the earth only after the skies rain down fire and the very earth itself is made to shake and the great cities of men fall into ruins. Their plans are set and their purpose is clear; they come for war."

P.S. I saw MTV.com had posted an article about all of this as of 13 hrs ago, but my computer won't let me look at it so if someone can send me the article I'd really really appreciate it.

also I don't think they really mean a lion..because remember they were at a party..it was probably some hammered guy who heard the roar that sounded like godzilla and blurted out "lion". although if it is a lion then it could be maybe sphynx or Chamera..which are both lion like mytho creatures..

JACKPOT..YAHTZEE….okay anyway I keep posting on here because as I'm searching I seem to hit stuff…anyway all of a sudden just now all the trailers started to work again..and an Hour ago NY magazine posted an article with pictures of the trailer that Paramount has so politely let us see.

http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2007/07/trades_blogs_both_fail_to_find.html

Drew Goddard wrote…Matt Reeves is directing…we all already know who's producing w/ Bryan Burke…it will be paramount and bad robot productions..Exec Producer Guy Riedel

The movie only started filming in mid-June and it is currently shooting somewhere in NY…could it be Cloverfield Rd.? Could that be what that hint means? Although there is a movie called "slusho" being shot in L.A that could also be this movie..hmm..

The Monster in Question btw, is refered to on the inside as "The parasite". and I found this earlier but I didn't really make a full connection, but I saw it in an article now…when I was searching ethan haas, jason ritter's character on "the class" kept coming up..and I thought I saw him in the trailer, but I just flushed the idea to the back of my head..then I thought about it and I thought I saw at least two other people who were on that show with him..and low and behold one of them lizzy caplan is in the movie. could there be a connection? I think not, but you never know.

when every one runs onto the street a random guy runs by and yells " someone said its a LION and its huge" which leads me to believe that it is not godzilla or a remake of any type but a totally original idea but i dont know i can only wait to be blown to the back of the theatre on 1. 18. 08 ————–the beave

Ok, between 1:18 and 1:21, the girl asks if anyone saw what the "Thing" was. So, some guy responds "I saw it! It's a lion, it's HUGE!". So, basically, this is all we're left off with, that one little quote. Now, all we have to figure out is what shows/what ideas could involve a giant lion?

Let's just say this Summer of Sequels & Remakes is becoming even more hotter than it has ever been…

Abdul on Jul 6, 2007

Actually the quote is "I saw it! It's ALIVE! IT's HUGE!"

That's what the guy says. It's probably not lost, but hopefully something totally original that will set the next bar for action films. Although I admit it could be gears of war. Like a prequel, right after the pendulum wars.

Who knows until

It's Voltron

And no Voltron was not 60ft tall ………the 5 lions that formed him were 60ft tall…….
Voltron himself towered over skyscrapers………

Parasite…was one of the many monster that Voltron fought in the series over a decade ago…….

Robert on Jul 6, 2007

""""the lions themselves range in size from a large caddy to a stretch hummer. IT ISNT VOLTRON!! """

What are yout talking about!!!!!….I remember the 5 charcters that made the 5 lions being able to stand on the nose of the black lion during the cartoon.

Power Rangers was a direct ripoff of Voltron. If you want to get a size estimate just look at the final creation of their robot….it was well beyond 60ft….or the size of a hummer.

Voltron the movie takes place in manhattan………you can hear someone say……"its a lion" and u see the head of the statue of liberty…………….You've got the comment, the time frame of when voltron is going to be released anyway……and the head from the statue….veryfing location…..

robert on Jul 6, 2007

Why would someone say the obvious like………It's alive????? lol He's saying it's a lion..

robert on Jul 6, 2007

When I originally saw this trailer yesterday I thought immediately of voltron, lets face it, if we were there to see transformers and we were older than 10, we deffiently want to see voltron kick some rear. But i'll have to admit if this film is of voltron and I have to watch five whiny preps combine to create voltron and I have to watch it all in grainy home cameras like in "traffic" i'll end up waiting for the DVD. Transformers was a great movie but it got difficult to see that battles with all the tight shots, if this is voltron and it's CGI'd with personal camcorders i'll have to bring a bottle of Excedrin migraine.

Has anyone noticed when you go to the http://www.1-18-08.com website there are pictures look @ the times they have on the bottom right corner. I freaked out when I viewed the 12:01 a.m. shot when I focused & came to contact with the eyes of the person towards the right then I clicked on the 12:36 a.m. and in between the the 2 girls on the very top back it appears like there is a demon like figure. Check it out.

I really hope it's not Voltron - unless this is going to be a rated R movie. I really wish they did that with Transformers. Transformers, Voltron and Thundercats were my childhood defining cartoons (I am 27). I had the metal action figures that would never today be acceptable to give to children. Now, I have to share that memory with the brat children of the world today? I know that's selfish. (Maybe I am just bitter from having to relive my fond childhood moments with brat kids whose parent's will not tell them to shut up during the movie.

Now I really don't think it's Voltron. First and foremost. Voltron took place on the planet Arus, and no humans were ever really scared of Voltron. There was not even a city that looked like Manhattan on Arus. The cities that I remember in Voltron all looked like Utopian society cities. And I am not ragging on Manhattan. On top of that, I just can't see Paramount or whoever shooting Voltron through home video cameras. I think it would be more like Transformers. However, if this is a rated R Voltron that will keep the kiddies out, I am all for it.

It isn't Voltron because of the release date. A movie like Voltron will need a July 4th release date.

Here is the setup: The Drules have invaded Earth and kicked our ass in the ONE DAY WAR. Humanity has gone underground. New York has been decimated and our story opens on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the Drule invasion. Think about it, Earth was conquered by an Alien race in 24 hours.

Fifty-feet tall, a horrible hybrid of metal parts, complete with some kind of awful face and glowing red eyes, staring down at them. We’re not sure if this is alien or man-made, but it’s terrifying.
Folks, this is a ROBEAST. The Robeasts in this script are like the sentinels in The Matrix – they patrol the earth in search of a signal which we will get to later.

The Robeast emits a high-pitched industrial roar and swings its head low over the street. It swipes at the soldiers with its enormous talons as if they were in the way of what it’s really looking for…

http://latinoreview.com/scriptreview.php?id=65

Its Voltron!! But I could be wrong… or am I? =)

Transformers will be produced by Don Murphy, whom Voltron producer Mark Gordon worked with on League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

guys, clearly this is not another Voltron movie, in fact I don't even think the main point of the movie has to do with a giant monster. I think its the end of the world….like in the bible, if you read the last chapter it talks about th end of the world, ending with demons, and all these sorts of terrible things.
Thats what i think this is. A revelation movie. Crazy shit happens at the end of the world, like stuff falling from the sky…if you want to do some research Google revelation and see all the stuff that it comes up with, or just read the last chapter of the bible…

Think about it, how could a monster…like say Godzilla chop the head off of the statue of liberty and then fling it across the city. Something with arms did this. Also, how could a monster make a gigantic explosion and make fireballs rain from the heavens. Think about. Also read what JD has to say its some good stuff he put up their kudos to you JD for a fine job.

Ethan Haas is an anagram for Satan-ahhe which in Aramaic or Assyrian would be loosely translated into: "brother satan"

Tie this together with the other clues that already exist: it is a great war, there is a "lion" mentioned in the trailer. It all points to Revelations, the first beast is a lion after all.

read Revelation chapter 18 verse eight, it makes perfect sense. " And so, in a single day she will suffer the pain of sorrow, hunger, and death. FIRE will destroy her dead body because her judge is a powerfull lord God. — they will weep, when they see the smoke from that fire… read the whole chapter 18, and see that present day Babylon is the US. title of chapter 18, " The fall of babylon( US)" the monster/beast is described on chapter 17 , along with the a women holding something in her hand (statue of liberty) and also describes the city of NYC

oh and neil their is no secret to moving them around…trust me

on the website after you figure out the first puzzle there will be 3 stars in the sky if you go to the one on the far right you will find that it is a translation for all the symbols for the second puzzle…there are 26 symbols and below the first and last letters there is an "A" and a "Z" how do you figure it out

if this is a Revelation/Bible movie, why would they make up a name for a prophet? Ethan Haas? Come on now.

One thing that crossed my mind is that it may be a promotional film set to come out on 01-18-08. What I mean is it could be just a film setting up Hype/Storyline for a Bigger production movie. I know Transformers had the a comic/novel realeased before the movie to bring everyone up to speed on what happened before the movie. This may be a short pre-quel for a film. Just a thought

2) the "creature" between the two girls is looking to the right! (zoom to see it better!)

and 3) in this trailer: http://cloverfieldgossip.blogspot.com/2007/07/trailer-that-ran-ahead-of-transformers.htm, at 1 minute and 20 seconds before the "liberty head" hits the ground there is like a humming sound, it sounds like the sound the transformers made when they transfoormed!(its after the growl!)

When the statue of liberty is rolling…the lion is running in the direction the head came from……meaning it is entering the battle…….not coming towards the people..in the direction the head was rolling…

Voltron……..anyone willing to place a bet?

They would say "IT'S ALIVE!" because if you saw something bigger than the statue of liberty moving around (like Cthulhu, who Lovecraft described as being literally as tall as a mountain), wouldn't your first thought be that it's either a statue, a structure, or something man-made?

There' no LIONS, you dimwit. It's not Voltron - the stuff they're attaching to this is a mixture of spiritualism and alien sci-fi. This stuff has LOVECRAFT and CTHULHU written all over it - Lovecraft's creatures were described as both aliens and gods. He blended Sci-Fi technology with magic and old world superstition. This movie isn't just a hardcore, straight-up Sci-Fi movie with aliens and robots and whatnot. There's also a distinct, supernatural/spiritual flavor to it.

You want to take bets? I'm your huckleberry. It's either Cthulhu or some other creature from Lovecraft's writings. It sure as hell isn't some poorly named Japanese robot, AKA Voltron. By the way, the roaring sound in the trailer doesn't sound ANYTHING like a lion's roar.

I never played with robot toys. Robots always struck me as the most retarded "heroes" or "creatures" concievable. I was always into dinosaurs - dinosaurs are so much cooler than Transformers, Voltron, or any of your other ripped-off-from-Japanimation robot clones. This Abrams film is OBVIOUSLY a monster film of some sorts - not a freaking robot movie. People mishear ONE line ("It's alive", NOT "it's a lion") and then you have morons like you who get hard over ROBOTS screaming "ZOMG!!! IT'S A VOLTRON MOVIE I'M GONNA CUM!" Pathetic.

This film is gonna be about Lovecraft's Old God/Cthulhu mythos and not only will it be cool, it'll also be scary as hell. Because if it's about Cthulhu, then it's not your conventional thiller where A) Monster shows up, B) heros come and kick its ass, and C) everyone lives happily ever after.

No, if it's about Cthulhu, it's going to be dark, apocolyptic, and filled with an aura of dread and doom. If Abrams makes a movie based on Lovecraft, there's no gay-ass robot with lion designs coming in to save the day. It's going to be about the END, cause the major theme of Lovecraft's writing was how small and insignificant humanity is and unworthy of being saved, and the inevitability of its total extinction. I think I'm ready for a different kind of movie - one in which we're all screwed, and nothing can stop the destruction.

I've looked at all the stuff put out so far, robert. The connections to Lovecraft's Cthulhu are strong, and the connections to Voltron are scant at best - the only thing connecting it to Voltron is a line that deaf idiots misheard and ended up projecting their desires of another idiotic robot romp into. You can cum in your pants at the thought of a Voltron movie all you like. You're only setting yourself up for a massive disappointment.

And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced.
But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird.
The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire

followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

Not a clue breaking factoid, but the guy who asks about going up to the roof is wearing a "Slusho" t-shirt.

I listened to the street guys line over and over…I heard nothing but "It's Alive", I did NOT hear "It's a lion".

Can anyone say anything about two identical stickers on the refridgerator? They are small and one is right smack on the upper door hinge. They state "Exit Mystery St." And may possibly state "Exit 96 Mystery St." (can't tell, too small)

JJ Abrams supposedly wrote a letter to Aintitcool.com claiming to know nothing about the Ethan Haas websites and that the only official website found so far is this one: http://www.1-18-08.com/

If Abrams is telling the truth (and not trying to throw us off the scent), then we're back to square one. Taking this into consideration, I think we can still rule out Voltron, because this is a movie told from the perspective of the frightened crowd. You can't do a movie that has a complex background and a singular character from the perspectives of a bunch of frightened onlookers with video cameras. Especially if you want to showcase a lot of special effects and fight scenes - you need a traditional movie to do that. Also, a Voltron movie is already in the works, and it's being done by a different studio than Paramount. So, we can definently rule out Voltron.

You CAN, however, do the camcorder thing with a regular monster movie, because in a way, monster movies are best done when you tell the story from a frightened civilian's perspective, who has no idea what's going on. It's more intense and scary that way. So, out of the possibilities we debated over, we're left with 3 viable possibilities:

1. It's a Godzilla remake. I think this one isn't likely, seeing as Abrams is most likely wanting to make something no one's done before, so he can put his own mark on it. If he makes another Godzilla movie, his movie will be remembered merely as the most recent addition to a long, long line of Godzilla movies. So I think that although Godzilla is still a possibility, it's not very likely.

2. It's a Cthulhu movie. Not enough info has been released to say one way or another if it's about Cthulhu. So I can no longer confidently say it's a Lovecraft adaptation.

3. It's something entirely original. I think this is the most likely possibility - we're going to be looking at something completely new, which gives Abrams and his crew a significant amount of freedom as to what they want to put in or leave out.

All said, I think this is probably an original film, not an adaptation of any particular movie, book, cartoon, etc. So, all bets are off. It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Oh, there is only one thing I am curious about - if the Ethan Haas stuff has nothing to do with Abram's "Cloverfield" movie, then why has Paramount shut down all youtube videos of the Ethan Haas website content, claiming copyright violations? Like I said, another possibility is that Abrams just sent that letter to AICN.com to fuck with everyone and throw them off the scent. Or maybe it's something else…interesting developments.

Actually something hit me, after readins AICN and the Abrams letter. He said the Haas stuff was not their's (By their's, I'm thinking his production company). He said nothing about it being or not being a Paramount promotion or having nothing to do with the movie. Maybe a red herring? (And I have to say:
1) There are two different girls in the picture
2) "It's Alive" no N (watch the trailer on Apple.com, audio is better)
3) I'm so excited about this damn movie and I don't even know what the frack it is!)

Could be an additional Chapter of War of the Worlds ?

bello on Jul 10, 2007

Maybe an additional H. G. Wells story? This one being "A Shape Of Things To Come" of which the 1936 film version had to do with a Second World War lasting 100 years. Most likely not though…no roaring monsters in any of those stories….

Here's my only other guess (other than godzilla, Cthulu etc)……It's an entirely NEW monster which we have never seen before in a movie. (maybe not even read about). Just NEW.

Kirk Dunne on Jul 10, 2007

Couple of things…

Does anyone else find it a bit curious that the temperature is 63 degrees at 12:32 AM on January 18th in NYC. I'm a New Yorker and that's a smidge warm for these parts at that time of the year.

Also… Channel 1, 12:32 AM, 63 degrees… 1+12+32+63=108 there's that number again

BTW, I heard "I saw it, it's alive, and it's huge" I could be wrong of course. But the "alive" comment could be to indicate that it wasn't an asteroid/bomb/airplane… especially in NYC.

Hear me out…it's either Pokemon (yes, you read that correctly) or Cthulhu, possibly even a hybrid combo of both. Please read on…

Visit Slusho.com and click the 4th link from the left, takes you to the feedback email address Satoshi@slusho.jp. So, a quick search on this Satoshi person reveals this Wiki info

Satoshi Tajiri is a Japanese electronic game designer and the creator of Pocket Monsters, better known as Pokémon.

The creator of Pokemon! Tell me this is not happening.

Ok, you probably think I'm crazy now, but I'm reading more about the Pokemon creator, and guess what, he worked at Nintendo, on Pokemon, for 6 years. 6!

"Slusho! You can't drink just six."

Thoughts anyone else?

Now, read the history page on slusho.com. There's reference to “many towns and villages on Honshu". Well, you guessed it, Satoshi was born in Machida which is located on Honshu!

Apparently there's a Digimon character whose design is based on Cthulhu and named after Dagon. The character's English name is “Dragomon."

Most Digimon of all levels reside in the Digital World (sometimes called “DigiWorld" for short), a parallel universe created from data inside the Earth's electronic communication networks. However, Digimon are sometimes capable of traveling to Earth - or as it is called in DigiWorld, the Real World. Courtesy of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ultimate_Digimon_(Part_1)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ultimate_Digimon_(Part_1)#Dragomon - this is the pokemon character designed after Cthulhu, his type is Sea Animal and his level is ultimate (perfect).

I read on another blog that the monster was a sea monster, can anyone else confirm that report?

Oh, one more Pokemon coincidence, the kids on slusho.com (boy & girl = the two Pokemon kids) are under water. The Pokemon monster Dragomon is a sea animal?

Dragomon is a Sea Animal Digimon. His Japanese name is Dagomon as he was named after Dagon of Lovecraft literature known as the Cthulhu Mythos, and appearance is based on Cthulhu of the mythos.

Dragomon is a “Wicked God" referred to as “The Sinful Priest of the Ocean Floor". He is thought to be born from a computer virus that infected the computers of ships and such, disrupting direction and course. When he takes a life, he holds the juzu (prayer beads) on his neck and seemingly mourns.

After all of the links I've found, I'm 100% convinced it's either Pokemon or Cthulhu (hybrid of both) related. Probably Cthulhu, and these Pokemon clues are just a way of confirming that it's Cthulhu. Then again, stranger things have happened.

“…war came, no longer from the elemental nor from the stars rain of fire. The world was again remade, and the glow was as the coming sun upon the Earth. The children of the gods were again too few, scattered and divided and among them walked the ancients and those whose thoughts were not as to the towers and the marvels but to the End and the destruction of Earth and to the fires from which nothing could escape. "

If anyone is familiar with H.P. Lovecraft and associated "lovecraftian" author August Derleth, the "elemental nor from the stars rain of fire" should really stand out at you.

Derleth mixed the amoral views of Lovecraft's stories with a good vs. evil moral taint, if you will. According to Derleth, the Great Old Ones were associated with the elements of earth, air, fire, and water, because the entities involved are immortal and primordial and operate under a different set of physics. Opposing them were elder gods, beings of morals and laws.

In Lovecraft's stories one can find instances where the earth was reshaped at the whims of the Great Old Ones and their servants.

I *really* hope this is a Lovecraftian movie where mankind is really at the mercy of powers it cannot fathom or oppose.

HarleyDude on Jul 11, 2007

73

Not sure if anyone else has picked up on this, but Ethan Haas is definitely associated…

http://www.ethanhaas.org/

1)There is a number ABZ3293 where in a blog states it is a license plate number for a NY state license plate and there is an item or "a family heirloom" the person who owns this SUV aquires.

2)Now go to the trailer and at 1:35 you can clearly see an SUV with the license plate, which reads ABZ 3293.

There may be more to it, but it confirms the ethan haas theory!

J.J. Abram’s Cloverfield Movie : The Gossip Rag on Jul 11, 2007

I noticed the above comment from http://www.thegossiprag.com … It looks like they have setup a 'Cloverfield Watch' for tracking the latest information on the movie. Pretty cool

AZ on Jul 11, 2007

76

I really don't understand why don't you see the relation, the movie it's a remake of a korean one, called "the host" (see the relation, parasite-host), which is a really great movie (go to the magnolia theatres once in a while, and watch foreing flicks, you'll find a lot of cool ones) and the plot it's also good, although the monster not so much, budget thing, watch this movie and all it's gone make sense. Anyways, I can't wait to this "cloverfield", and don't get me wrong, the remake of the japanese "the ring", I fount it much more frightening than the original.

izzy on Jul 11, 2007

77

I've seen that theory kicked around izzy. I highly doubt that's what Abrams is up to. Like I've said before, he's most likely going to try to do something no one has done before. Abrams strikes me as a grand schemer and planner, and someone who takes pride in creativity. I don't think he's the type to do a remake, certainly not a remake and hold this much secrecy about it. Especially not when the original was released only last year. The host didn't pull in huge numbers in the U.S., but it pulled in enough attention.

No, I think Abrams is trying to make a movie about something that there's never been a major motion picture about before.

jimboa22 on Jul 11, 2007

1-18-08: Check Revelation 18:08 on the Bible- all about Babylon's fall (NYC maybe) talks about a beast, fire coming down on people.
On the pic on the website the time is 12:01 and 12:36 - if you read from Revelations 12:1 to 14:1 which makes 36 verses (since chapter 12 goes only up to 17 i think and 13 goes only up to verse 18)
it talks about a lady with the sun on her head and a crown (statue of liberty head fallin on top of people) plus it talks a bout a monster with the face of a lion (" its a lion, its huge")

If it's not Revelations then what is it?

mike on Jul 12, 2007

79

For the last time, the guy says, "I saw it, it's ALIVE, it's huge!" He does NOT say "it's a lion," nor does the roaring sound anything like a lion.

It's not about Revelation - it's a monster movie. Huge creature comes and destroys NYC and possibly other cities too. Maybe Cthulhu, maybe not. But it's not about revelation.

jimboa22 on Jul 12, 2007

80

Funny thing is that there is a monster in Revelations, and even if he does say it's alive, Revelation says that there's a birth. But i also thought it was "it's alive" but since my last view it did sound like "it's a lion". And yeh, way to support your statements there

Mike on Jul 12, 2007

81

If it was Voltron then it wouldn't be listed here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472429/ and there would be no point to the big secret. Also "Producer Mark Gordon ("The Day After Tomorrow") is developing a big-budget feature based on the 1980s giant robot kids TV series and toy sensation. Reuters notes Voltron is "formed by five smaller robots" — unclear if they mean Lion Force or Vehicle Voltron. "

So 1-18-08 is NOT Voltron.

If you anagram Cloverfield you can get Revel and Dolci. Carlos Dolci was a painter from France. According to wikipedia "Dolci was notoriously pious; it is said that during Passion week every year, he painted a half-figure of the Saviour. His masterpieces are about sacred themes, where the protagonist is often highly emotive, somewhat over-wrought."
It seems that the bible is a reocurring theme here…

Carlo Dolci died 1-17 of 1686. I don't kknow if it has anything crazy to do with it but 1+6+8+6 = 21 or 7+7+7

84

I don't know much about the Abrams project, but it sounds very over hyped. I imagine that since the project is primarily on hand held cameras, they only footed 30 mil for the pic, and we have no clue on what the monster is, there is a good possibility that they will never show the creature at all. I'm sure that it will be a very interesting piece of entertainment, but that's about all.

besides its not godzilla's roar.


Why would voltron…tear of the head of the statue of liberty?

my daughter and I both had the same thought when watching the trailer together - what if the monster on "Lost" was released when the survivors failed to enter the numbers into the underground computer?

did it escape? if so, where did it go?

and, wasn't the doctor for the Others named Ethan? and, didn't he have some sort of prophetic insights into what would happen to those around him?

just something to think about…

we are on to something

unlived on Jul 13, 2007

Hello. My name is David Dychko.

As we all have dissected the trailer 1-18-08 bit by bit, you'll notice there's a lot of Japan references throughout:

* The party is for Rob leaving for Japan
* Sushi
* Japanese art work and statues
* Even a letter written in Japanese on the refrigerator
* Even the "viral" site http://www.slusho.jp/ is Japanese with the quote "You can't drink just six".

Where am I going with this?

1. Well on the "6th" of August 1945, the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, Japan.

2. Romans 1:18. It says the following:
"God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness"

Note: If Man messes with nature (nuclear bomb, pollution, etc.), monsters are born.

3. This history of "Slusho" says that drink was “discovered” by Noriko Yoashida whose nickname was Little “Whale”. She was known throughout the town as a great “scientist that did remarkable things with water” but later “disappeared while on the ocean”. Her son picked up the business and found an ingredients in it’s near “frozen-state” to preserve its freshness.

Does the three things ring a bell for any of you monster fans?

—–
—–>They all point to the movie Godzilla (1954).
—-

Now before you blast my post, here me out.

* Godzilla 1954 was about a dinosaur who woke from his “frozen state” at the bottom of the “ocean” from a “nuclear bomb” off from the coast of “Japan”. In the movie, a fishing “boat goes missing” off the coast. There was a “water scientist” who created the Oxygen Destroyer, a weapon that removed oxygen from water. It was used to kill Godzilla later in the movie.

* Gojira, his Japanese name, is a combination of the words “Whale” and Gorilla.

Side note: Godzilla was originally conceived to be a Squid before one of the producer said make him a dinosaur.

* Sony doesn’t own the rights to Godzilla anymore since they didn’t fulfill the contract agreement of making any movie after the 98 debacle.

* There have been talks and actual production of a CGI Godzilla movie for 2 years now. It was scheduled to be released in IMAX theaters but has faded away.

Could JJ.Abrams bought the rights and put him in this movie?

I, for one, would love to see this happen because Godzilla (1954) was a horror film anf that's what I feel this movie, 1-18-08, direction is. Godzilla was a walking nuclear bomb, and inflected fear and hard reminder to the horrors of the Hiroshima bomb.

I hope I’m right on this. J.J?

For one, I am DEFINITELY hearing "It's alive, it's huge!" when I watch that trailer. It's pretty obvious, I think.

Also, not many people noticed comment 73 but the license plate number does indeed match the SUV's number in the trailer.

Lastly, comment 57 is right. The guy asking about going on the roof is DEFINITELY wearing a Slusho shirt. A couple weird connections.

I'm gonna go through the trailer frame by frame and see what's going on. I'll be posting back shortly.

Jeff on Jul 15, 2007

97

Alright guys, I've gone through that trailer frame by frame. I've taken a couple screenshots of interest and some for proof of previously stated theories.

Here we go:

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/4518/nymaplw9.jpg

This picture I noticed had a map to the right, of what? I don't know. But it looks like their are some kind of markings on the bottom left side of the map. Maybe X's?

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/346/slushoax6.jpg

This picture is just proof from comment 57 saying that the guy is wearing a Slusho shirt.

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/8668/2004aceiq4.jpg

This is a snapshot taken when the party is running back downstairs from the roof and a rock from the explosion hits right next to the door. It lights up the wall and you can clearly see "2004 ACE" written on the wall in spray paint. It may not be of any significance but I posted it just in case.

http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/9183/abz3293az2.jpg

This picture clearly shows the connection between http://www.abz3293.com/ and the movie. The license plate matches the description which is connected to Ethan Haas.

This also shows that Abrams is definitely using VERY minuscule and obscure details in the movie as hints and clues. That's why if you see something funky I really think you should post it here.

Leave no rock unturned guys!

Jeff on Jul 15, 2007

Pause it at the part where they are all in the streets and people are screaming and then he looks towards the crowd the girl says something the guy turns the camera back toward the city and theres a roar and look under the lamp post you can make out eyes and teeth here if you are watching the trailer on this site http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/11808/large.html be ready to hit the pause button thought its a quick scene

Ryan on Jul 15, 2007

99

@Ryan - I'm watching the 1080p HD trailer and I don't see any eyes or teeth anywhere. The distance from which the car is being hurled suggests that the creature is farther way that would be visible anyways.

RE: "lion" vs. "alive" - Maybe New Yorkers will be able to discern the guy's accent better, but to me it sounds like it could be either word.

If this is a Godzilla movie, let's hope it's a radical retelling/reinvention of the story and not the kind of movie that the Wallflowers do a song for.

I thought it might have something to do with Lost too, which would be very convenient about a month before the new season starts and all of this hunting for clues reminds me so much of the Lost Experience. I'm not going to get crazed and argue that I'm right, but the actual trailer reminds me of The Watchmen, which has been said over and over again to be partial inspiration for Lost. With a lot of talk being generated about a Watchmen movie being made, I think Abrams might want to pre-emptively strike with his own (very quickly made) movie to save his vision for the overall Lost universe, which could be diminished somewhat if The Watchmen comes out before the final season, which it should. I'm not going to go into what about the trailer is similar to The Watchmen for those who have never read it, but I can see how this movie could be a Lost-related movie to get the event out there before it shows up in The Watchmen movie first.

Sorry if that is rambling…

I was just thinking of a book I read recently called 'The Taking'. It's written by Dean Koontz, and it's essentially about the purging of the bad people on earth and those that survive on account of their inherent goodness. Excellent read, and presents the entire thing as something that would be percieved as an alien invasion of some sort. I recommend the read, and I also encourage someone out there to make this into a presentable screenplay.

"It was posted on the Wiki Discussion area and I took a look at it.

9NEWS Entertainment Reporter Kirk Montgomery learned exclusively on Friday from a secret source, who is on the set of the film every day That:

* The project is known by the code name Cloverfield, but that is not the real title.

* The source says 50 percent of the $30 million budget for the film is devoted to special effects.

* That it is not a sequel or a remake (which precludes King Kong or Godzilla). It is not Voltron or "Lost"-related.

* Entire film will be presented through a handheld video camera, as in the style of the trailer.

* All of the actors involved had not seen scripts when they signed on for the project and are under strict legal gag-orders not to discuss any aspect of the film.

* Japanese-style Web site, http://www.slusho.jp, has lots of clues yet undiscovered by the rabid fans who have been scouring the Internet for hints.

* Biggest clue of the trailer is in the line: "I saw it, It's ALIVE, it's huge." (Now that kills the Lion Rumor)

* The sound the "creature" makes is another big clue.

* He says the creature is an organic, living thing. (Means its not Voltron or mechanical)"

Well, I can't describe how excited I am about this movie. I really don't care what it's going to be but I do hope it's not Voltron, even thought there's a scary feeling about the trailer so I don't think it's about robots. Cthullu would be great too but why the clues? There's just too many clues relating to numbers, masonry, etc. The apocalypse theory would be great but anyone mature enough knows that the bible prophecies to the end times are not to be taken literally, which means that having 3 beasts attacking NYC would be too risky for JJ's career.
Truth is : Who knows? It could also be something totally new!!! So let's cross our fingers and wait.

Before I go : They say "It's a lion!" and also, Jesus came first as the lamb of God but will return as the LION of the tribe of Judah to JUDGE the nations and destroy the spiritual babylon.

Good luck JJ !!!!!

Ok…first off…me and a friend of mine have been going over this piece by piece I dont know how many comments I have read. How many links I have checked out.

I simply just have a couple questions right now.

1. At about 44 secs after the first roar…a guy asks what was that noise…a girls replys it sounds like…" " What does she say…I myself can make it out…in a way its sounds like Emu but I dont know

2. At what point does the trailer show the License Plate that everyone talks about…I have watched the trailer frame by frame and alot of things I dont see that poeple say they do.

3. At time 1:12 - 1:13 against the Graffiti wall one of the fire balls light up a part that says 2004 ACE I dont know if that has anything to do with anything but in this case who knows.

Ok now just a few statements

1. Sorry to say to those out there…but he does say. "Its Alive, Its Huge" However if its all the way where the Staute of Liberty is…how is he the only one who saw it…he came running out of the building others were on the roof…they would have seen if first right? Idk

2. This movie is going to be awesome lol…though I cant wait till August 1st to see what that one game has anything to do with. Anyone who doesnt know the code you get at the end of the game is DIVINUS which is laten for Divine or Sacred. Though im sure you can get that from the word

Ok Not saying any of this has anything to do with anything…but I though I would look into possible futures prophecys this was the first link I came across. Its all in the book of Isaiah…some doesnt make sense some does speaking of "burning the land" and "few men will survive"..I dont know someone might be able to make some connection with the verses anyway…just though it would be cool

Ok last post. (For Now)

Again me and my friend..staying up late hours of the night trying to make sense of everything. So manythings point this movie as a biblical/giant monster attack movie. Many things still point to remakes of Godzilla and Voltron…though I dont beleive either.

On a note that my friend and I found…Ethan Haas…supposedlly conneted to "Cloverfeild" is connected to a game called "Alpha and Omega" While searching about the movie we have found things possibly resulting in marketing for a game. Though possible that Ethan Haas has nothing to do with "Cloverfield" and vise versa…there is still info that can connect the two.

In my own opinion I believe the game and movie could quite possibly be connected. No concrete evidence…but nothing has ever stopped a game and movie coming out of the same thing…or maybe two variations of the same story…Idk help us figure this out too.

ANewTorment on Jul 17, 2007

121

My opinions :

It's NOT Godzilla or Gamera.
It's NOT Voltron.
It's NOT Bible prophecy. It would be awesome if it was!!!!
It's NOT Power Rangers, Pokemon or Ghostbusters (as some suggested).
It's NOT Cthulhu.

It's a monster movie with a mix of weird prophecies, something original.

By the way : The say, it's ALIVE. I change my opinion on that one. (see post 108)

Leo on Jul 18, 2007

122

Lol its definatly ALIVE. And I don't see the links between Ethan Haas and 1-18-08 (even though i still did the puzzles and got to the end). I think that the Slusho.jp site needs to be examined hardcore, because I think there's more to it than what I read.

Maxx on Jul 18, 2007

123

what are the connections between ethan haas and cloverfield?

neiltherealdeal on Jul 18, 2007

124

History at slusho.jp is interesting.

The Militant AV Guy on Jul 18, 2007

125

Alot of the links I have seen or read about arent concrete connections.

Example…the License Plate…which I have yet to see. Links the sites of Ethan Haas with the trailer.
Another example is the professer from "Lost" named Ethan..who dont quote me..I have never seen lost…but supposedly can see the future somehow….which is also was this Ethan Haas can supposedly do.

So no concrete connection…the only way we will know more about that is August 1st…but I still stand with the possibility of the game and movie being connected

Anewtorment on Jul 18, 2007

126

I was watching the vid again…..I dunno if anyone will agree with me..but after he Todd says "i'm your dude" or whatever"..the camera pans around and you hear a noise…..not a roar. Then later when they ar eon the roof…you hear another actual roar…..different sounding….

Could their be 2 monsters?


Also I just had this random thought….Toho in its vault….had 2 monsters they never used in in godzilla flick or any other toho production. One was called Bagan…which acording to rumers was 2.5 times taller than godzilla. Rumer had it they wanted to use him in several movies….but descided not to for some reasons……

Not sure about the last part about bagan…..but I know I heard to types of "roars" one of which sounded more of a pain roar(somthing being attacked)..the other a trimph roar( somthing kicking somthing eleses ass).

There's no miltary in the air….why would their be an explosion?….unless…..somthing is fighting?

andrew on Jul 18, 2007

A few bagan links..just so you know i not talking out my ass lol

also if you ever played the game super godzilla on SNES…..Bagan was the final enemy…


Toho prolly wouldn't release Godzilla…..due to us blowing the 1st movie…but maybe one of the monsters thats not been used?

just a few thoughts…but listen to the roars….I think I hear 2…

andrew...again on Jul 18, 2007

@ post 118#


People seem to believe that they can almost see a monster in the smoke. And that it spits out Ms. Liberty's head. If that is the case he would be close enough for people on the street to see, and possibly make out. That would be one hell of a throw from Ellis Island to Broad way.

I don't see the monster behind the smoke during the trailer, but I do see the liberty's head come out of now where, and on an angle that would be impossible from the island on which she is kept. It almost comes out in a perfect line suggesting it was spit out with a lot of force from something just behind the smoke.

But who really knows? That's half the fun! ^^

hello

your thoughts and beliefs of this movie are incorrect..

i believe you will be shocked and amazed at what your brain will try to comprehend in January

The guy at the end is a stoner in the teen movie can't hardly wait. Checked his IMDB site but it lists nothing new….also checked anagrams for the cloverfield and "we'll miss you rob"

PMC on Jul 18, 2007

131

I have figured out the plot of the MOVIE!!!!



I have done research and have concluded that this movie is concerning and is about GLOBAL WARMING!!

Here are my key reasons to prove this theory

— In the trailer for the movie when they all gather around to watch the news in the bottom left of the screen on the t.v. it says that it is 63 degrees Fahrenheit outside. How can it be 63 degrees outside in the middle of January at midnight in New York?? According to ny.com New York's average temperature during the month of January is from 26 degrees Fahrenheit to 39 degrees Fahrenheit! This severe temperature change is in direct result of Global Warming.

– There are also simple signs in the trailer that indicate that the human race has not entirely provoked this problem (global warming) but they have not made significant advancements to try and stop its movement. The massive explosion and the electricity going out are all signs that represent the final realization and shock of the growing problem and how only something of this magnitude (a deadly explosion) could finally make the people of New York and the country realize the true effect of global warming.

– I also found some astonishing sound bites just released that said and I quote, "our ways have brought this upon ourselves and this is just the beginning."

"We are blinded by our own selfishness, our wars are taking the lives of those we will need in the bigger battle ahead."

"Intolerance, poverty, and poor education are killing those that could help defend the world."



In conclusion I believe that this movie will show the causes and mainly the devastating consequences of Global Warming.

Scott on Jul 19, 2007

132

Global Warming? I think you missed "The Day After Tomorrow."

Global Warming doesn't cause buildings to blow up or sea monsters to come out of the ocean and destroy New York City. Nice try though.

jimboa22 on Jul 19, 2007

133

Not that I agree at all with Comment 131, but this is toward comment 132…no one has actually SEEN a giant "SEA" monster..it could have come from the inside of the earth or flown in from someplace…doesn't have to come from the sea like Godzilla.

134

Just cause the movie come out in Janurary….doesnt' mean the movie is in Janurary. Yes its 63 at night…..but it could be July Aug, whatever. Doubt it's global warming…..I didn't see Al Gore anywhere in trailer lol

andrew on Jul 19, 2007

135

I really am annoyed about how blind some of you are. Negligent and under analytical as well.
I couldn't even make the time if I had the rest of my life to sift through this forum and correct how many exaggerations, mistakes, jargon, banter, hogwash, that a majority of you write.
If you go to 1-18-08.com it plainly states on the pictures the date… 1/18/08. Okay Andrew? Retard.
Next, digimon/pokemon? Yeah, great theory. What are you, fucking 10? Global warming? Wooooow, quit life.
VOLTRON?!!! Fucking Voltron? Idiots. The movie is in production already. Here's a big clue…
The first roar in the trailer before they go to the news with the Anchor and the Earthquake headline.
LISTEN to the MOAN/SOUND/ROAR the second it starts. Listen closely. It's almost a word. It's female seemingly too. There are nooo hints in the trailer other than the 3 roars. Maybe the license plate. Maybe.
What I find interesting with the whole Ethan Haas thing is if it WERE related, which JJ clearly states in the press release that it's not then the movie would be about POLARIS, which is H.P. Lovecraft, which is the Cthulhu.
WHICH IT IS NOT. Now allegedly the whole URCHIN tracker thing (http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js) is the server or something that powers the offical movie site. Whoever is behind ETHANHAAS.org either went out of their way to convince everyone that JJ was lying about Ethan Haas not being associated, or JJ is lying about HAAS not being associated, because EthanHaas.org is infact powered by the same http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js

There are three seperate roars/sounds that whatever it is makes, indicating… nothing.
Speculations are useless. The guy says , I saw it, it's alive, it's huge. Meaning 1 single monster/thing.
It's something from the water. Slusho.jp indicates such accusations to be relatively true considering the history portion of SLUSHO.jp is allegedly chock full of major hints. Whale… hmmm MOBY DICK?
It's just as ridiculous as what everyone else is saying. GHOSTBUSTERS? GODZILLA?
You know JURASSIC PARK FOUR IS COMING OUT RIGHT? It's not that though.
I've found out that the thing purely from speculation, is about 100 times the size of a huge building, where in it's foot crushes mutliple skyscrapers with one step. Hahaha, Yeah, I'm not making that one up.
We won't know until then. I'm just saying do more research before you make an ass out of yourself, with banter and jargon. You're undermining Mr. Abrams. His thought process and mind is beyond all of ours. That's why we are here discussing, pointlessly what the fuck it is. I want it to be Cthulhu. It won't be. It better not be an Alien or Gamera or any bullshite like that. It's going to blow our minds. This little modestly budgeted masterpiece will leave us scratching our heads wishing we could comprehend it. We still have yet to be told what it's about exactly. The sets are really mysterious and dark. I'll give you one hint since I haven't given away my identity,
Study the sounds in the trailer…

136

Hey ya'll. I have been double-checking this whole "lion" thing, and firstly, who would see a flick with a giant lion?(Unless of course, someone had the balls to make Rampage: The Movie) Pretty lame. The guy clearly says, "It's alive and it's huge!!" I for one hope we don't see the monster at all in the movie, but maybe in glimpses. It's something JJ Abrams would do, and very well.

Bozilla on Jul 20, 2007

137

Towards comment 134..the movie is done with camcorders..on the official site the time and date are in the corner of the still shots just like a regular camcorder..basically stating that IS the time and the date of the incident in the movie.

Oh, thanks for clearing that whole "1-18-08 is the day it takes place and the release" thing up JD considering there's a whole fucking paragraph at #135 clearing that up for the other retard. What, am I the only person who reads other people's posts?

hey, besides the whole mass confusion on the plot do you think this movie might be in "real-time" where it doesnt skip around its like the show "24" any thoughts?

Hey guys!
New picture on the 1-18-08.com site!!!!
What about this one?

Leo on Jul 21, 2007

142

Hey…
Look at u all…What a laugh… First of all the movie wont be released before time even if you know what it is..So watch the trailer (thinking: "what a f*cking great spot!! Its a must see!!!" and WAIT FOR THE MOVIE TO BE RELEASED!!! And second, i dont think it's a monster-remake, like stated in past posts, it a huge risk for a director. If he made Lost, and then f*cks up his rep and name with a monster/remake b-movie..And defently not a LION-Movie!!???!?! WFT?!?!..I wouldn't do that…!!!

Denmark on Jul 21, 2007

143

By the way.. according to TOHO (The owner of the Godzilla, and all related) they retired Godzilla until 2013. And it's Sony that own the movie rights…

So no Godzilla… And Cthullu, or whats-its-name… Dont think so.. another to great risk….

Denmark on Jul 21, 2007

144

okay im tired of people arguing about if the monster is a lion or not, why would the guy say its alive when clearly its attacking. its pointless saying that so obvisoly he is saying it a lion.

steve on Jul 21, 2007

145

He would say it's alive because people say stupidly obvious things when they're in a state of shock and awe. Secondly, if you see explosions, the first thing you're going to think is that it's a bomb, and planes are bombing you, etc. So him saying "It's alive!" is to tell other people it's a MONSTER attacking, not an army or a machine.

This lion theory is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life, and I have heard many stupid things. A monster movie about a giant…lion? LOL. Yeah, that'll get GREAT reviews and won't be a source of comedy and mockery AT ALL! That'll DEFINENTLY live up to all the secrecy and hype! If you're still one of the dorks with a robot fetish still harboring hopes about a Voltron movie, that's being done by another studio and it'll get a lot bigger budget than the shoe-string budget Abrams peddled this movie off for. For get it through your steel-plated skulls: THIS IS NOT ABOUT VOLTRON, LIONS, OR ANY OTHER ROBOT OR LION-RELATED TOPIC!

The idiocy in these people is astounding, it really is.

Then it would be pointless to say "it's huge" to then, when apparently everybody can see it's huge..
