J.J. Abrams' Cloverfield / 1-18-08 Trailer Officially Hits!

Cloverfield Trailer

This has been the talk of the internet since Transformers opened in theaters July 3rd and this trailer mysteriously played in front of it. After 390 comments on the article discussing what it is, what it could be, and tearing every little detail of the trailer apart, no one has still officially figured it out. All we know is that it's being referred to as Cloverfield and will hit theaters on 1-18-08. However, here's your chance to give it a full-on high definition whirl and see if you can figure more out, or just be shocked and amazed at it over and over again.

You can also watch the teaser trailer in High Definition at Apple

The mysterious secret project has had plenty of discussion with a few sparse details released in two articles on FS.net: the first here and the second here. J.J. Abrams is producing, but Matt Reeves is directing and Drew Goddard ("Alias", "Lost") is writing. The film will hit theaters next January 18th, 2008.

How about this. Multiple meteors hit New York carrying parasites. That would explain the explosions and the earthquake.

i really think it is cthulu. it would be real interesting. it won't be taken down anymore i think. clearly this looks like paramount has finally released it. this is the real thing because it has been fixed up a little

my guess… monster invades new york, survival of the human race…maybe godzilla decided to make a comeback

I don't know if anyone noticed this yet….a friend of mine looked at the source code for evanhaaswasright.com

In the bottom of the code is this paragraph

…war came, no longer from the elemental nor from the star's rain of fire. The world was again remade, and the glow was as the coming of the 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 the Earth and to the fires from which nothing could escape.

How long do you guys think they can market this movie like this? I mean eventually they're going to have to give us a name and a plot synopsis right? Movies make money by getting LOTS of people interested. And the few of us who will blog this and research this will NOT turn a profit. So how long before the veil of mystery is lifted. Personally, I hope they wait as long as possible.

This version of the trailer should forever put to rest the idea that he says, "It's a lion"

Thank God.

I'm sorry, but this Voltron thing has been embarrassing from the get go and it has to die a quiet death. Someone asked why would they show a monster trailer before Transformers instead of a Voltron trailer. Let me explain. Studios do that all the time. They play their own trailers in front of their own movies whether the two are related or not.

If, and a very BIG IF, the Ethanhaaswasright website is related to this trailer then there's very little doubt that it's Cthulhu. Too many hints along those lines are at that web site. No one has proved that it's all related however. It's all hearsay.

If it's not related, however, then we are left open-ended with a very original monster movie.

I hope for either one. It would be cool.

Anteros on Jul 9, 2007

And for you fanboys out there wetting your pants over a Voltron movie, relax… it's coming. It's just not this one.

Same thing goes for Evangelion. And Godzilla. Hold onto your hats… or whatever you prefer.

Its the new austin powers movie. Remember you heard it here first.

And having said that, I see that there already is a movie called "Cthulu" released recently, though according to reviews it has nothing to do with the Old One.

The official site is at http://www.cthulhuthemovie.com/

Apparently, according to some reviews at IMDB it's a Gay movie. No, really… a Gay movie. See for yourself.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478126/usercomments

It's supposed to be a movie of Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" but apparently it's not really.

Anteros on Jul 9, 2007

"Here likewise a rambling letter to the editor of a paper in South America, where a fanatic deduces a dire future from visions he has seen."

Word for word from "The Call of Cthulhu" by H.P. Lovecraft

Ethan Haas?

Did he say
"I saw it, it's alive, it's huge"

to me it sounded like
"I saw it, It's a lion, it's huge"

Aftab Bali on Jul 9, 2007

23

OMG, a giant lion is causing huge explosions in NYC and throwing the head of the Statue Of Liberty around like papier mache!!


Arrrghh!!

Sheesh… keep the under 12's out of the forum already!

Anteros on Jul 9, 2007

24

I have to admit…the Cthulhu theorists are starting to sound pretty dead on. If you read up on it…Cthulhu is always associated with controlling people's dreams and apocolyptic type destruction. I think Abrams is probably tying the Cthulhu in with the end of the world. If this is indeed the case…is this movie really going to work? I have my doubts…but the trailer just seems to good to let us all down.

From J.J. Abrams little tidbit on Ain't it Cool News.com, this is the official website. To me it's a little weird. More to come I guess.

just two pictures that you can move around, so far.

Follow some research. Giant Monster called The Parasite. Known about this movie for ages.

ChipNoir on Jul 10, 2007

28

Chip Noir, if by ages you mean days, then yeah, but if not, screw you, nobody outside production knew about it at all until the trailer.

For the real info on this movie, go to the other forum. Check out all the sites that have popped up.

www.ethanhaaswasright.com
www.ethanhaaswaswrong.com
www.parasitemovie.com
www.tossinggames.com
www.cloverfield.com
and so on
also, on IMDB theres a plant going by the name of "My_Name_Is_Van" who has told allot about the movie.

Also, on the its a lion its huge thing, it may be alive, but i distinctly hear an N there. Funny thing i have noticed on all forums, nobody ever considers that he may have said "I saw it, its ALIEN, its huge". Kinda stretching it, but it may work.

Wow, then again, for the first time ever I actualy heard "alive".

AICN just reported (from Abrams himself) that the Ethan Haas sites have nothing to do with this movie.

Here is what JJ Abrams said:


quote:
——————————————————————————–
Dear Sir,

Thanks for your support of our little movie. I can't wait to talk to you more about it — of course, knowing you, by the time we talk you'll know more than I will.

Regarding the online stuff you posted: yeah, we're doing some fun stuff on the web. But, obviously, if the movie doesn't kick some massive ASS, who gives a rat's about what's online? So as you can imagine, we're focusing mostly on THAT. For what it's worth, the only site of ours that people have even FOUND is the 1-18-08.com site. The others (like the Ethan Haas sites) have nothing to do with us.

Stay cool the rest of the summer — and thanks per usual for AICN!

JJ

How thoroughly refreshing, though we've always known that it made sense, to have a trailer than actually excites and teases and doesn't try to tell the whole story and concept right off the bat.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that if you want to generate some buzz then create a little intrigue. Unfortunately too many studio execs haven't the courage to be daring and creative and thus when one eventually does it's treated with a 'wow this is amazing, who would have thought that would have worked'.

How cool would it be if the makers of this film had the courage to leave this as the only pre-screening material available so that when entering the cinema you knew virtually nothing about the journey that you might be embarking on.

The film looks exciting and they've done enough to guarantee my bum on the seat come it's launch.

Payne by name on Jul 10, 2007

I can only hope that JJ is doing some sort of Cthulu Movie. Whatever it is I will be there opening day cause that trailer made me forget about Transformers for about 30 seconds.

If you don't think this advertising will work, look up alternate reality games (ARGs) sometimes.


And if it's a lion, then, Jesus Christ, get back in the car.

It's called "Call of Cthulu." It's not a remake of "The Host."

Jessie you are totally wrong. You will never be right.

It's the movie TRENT REZNOR was thinking about while he was writing the music for NIN's "Year Zero" album.

OK just another crazy idea……HALO the movie……..think about it maybe, not sure, but wouldn't that be wild?

spartan on Jul 10, 2007

47

WOuldn't it be crazy if it was a new Chuck Norris flick. Think about it. The Barber, not paying attention, messes the lines on Chuck's beard up causing him to go balistic and killing the barber with the fist that was concealed under the beard. He then summens all his karate energy to grow to a gigantic size so that he may reign terror down upon the tiny earthlings of biblical proportions. He starts in NYC decapitating the head of Lady Liberty.

I would watch that.

JJ Abrams himself has already stated that ethan haas has nothing to do with this movie. Ethan haas is about a video game.

Hear me out…it's either Pokemon (yes, you read that correctly) or Cthulhu. 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.

Ok… I have watched and watched and listened and listened. and I have a question
The initial shake or earthquake or whatever it is. At that moment there is a loud sound that to me sounds like a voice before the moan. Like its saying a name or something. I don't know.. Someone with better ears then me please check that part out. its at about 1:09.

Mikesterr on Jul 11, 2007

61

While my favorite contender for the monster star in this mystery trailer is Cthulhu, has anyone considered the location difficulty with that? Cthulhu sleeps in sunken R'lyeh, which is in the South Pacific…pretty sure the ol' Statue of Liberty is on the Atlantic coast. Just a thought…

Craig on Jul 11, 2007

63

You Guys!! I listened to this 32 times exactly (call me obssesed if you must) and when you here it the first time it says "I saw it, Its a lion! Its huge!" I have no doubt the only reason people here "its alive" is becasue when you hear it more your ear and nerves get weary to the sound so the first is always mostly right, trust me he said lion.

Montezille on Jul 11, 2007

64

Oh and the movie has a couple code names: Cloverfield, The Parasite and 1-18-08. No one knows which of these are the real name if any of them even are. But there are no faces in the fire or that girls hair, your just getting a little creative.

Montezille on Jul 11, 2007

65

And I think the Lion might breathe fire or something, but im almost certainly sure that the man said lion.

Montezille on Jul 11, 2007

66

And maybe the lion got infected by some parasites that made him huge and breathe fire?

AZ on Jul 11, 2007

70

Ok, here are my two cents and its all I'm going to give…

I took the work CLOVERFIELD and put it into a few anagram generators. The most interesting combination I came up with was COLD FIRE LEV. Now before you say LEV is not a word, I took that and punched it into some definition sites. LEV basically translates into… LION! So run with that… or not.

Whitey on Jul 11, 2007

71

First off, the guy definitely says "I saw it! It's Alive! Its HUGE!" Also there is a very good film on you tube with an analyzation about the trailer; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im7wWMVzIyg pretty interesting. I'll throw in my twenty cents, I think its probably a movie about either: The end of the world, Gamera remake (Thats right), or Cthulhu. These are just my oppinions but one thing that strikes me odd about Gamera from the japanese films is he could breath a massive fire ball and he also fed off fire so its a possibility that if godzilla can show up in new york, so could Gamera

Tythandril on Jul 11, 2007

u can scratch off "The end of the world" and wat you think it might be because we already know its a monster movie jj told us so idk y every one thinks its an end of the world movie

[...] J.J. Abrams has signed on to do a new “TOP SECRET” movie for Paramount which is currently going under the name “Cloverfield”. So far the rumors state that a monster attacks NYC and the movie is filmed from the prospective of the people trying to escape the city during the attack. There is no confirmation of what the monster is, the studio is just referring to the monster as a parasite, but my hunch is that it’s Godzilla. I definitely recommend watching the trailer. It can be seen here. [...]

Coincidence?

Heckle on Jul 12, 2007

78

Seems like Godzilla to me. At :54 some guy says, "What kind of animal sounds like that?" Then there is the fireball which could be explained by the fact that Godzilla breathes fire. The roar doesn't sound like Godzilla, but they could have changed it.

hey guys, i have read all the comments and actually first i thought it is godzilla too, but i cant believe they make a new reremake of it , remember i think 8 years ago there was the last remake in cinemas and it was very good. I like godzilla but do you think the creator of lost will make a movie with godzilla? All the other clues are very fine of course , but think different. the guys who made this movie will keep it secret for sure and what would be better if we take all the people out there in this fanmovie world and make them believe its a monster movie !! i think 50 % of all think its godzilla or this other monster …. forget the name ^^. i have a few ideas and i didnt make any searches for information after i saw this amazing trailer here are my few ideas what it could be (i know some of them are to stupid but ….)
1. halo 2.Final Fantasy 3. I am legend (new movie with will smith ^^) 4.AVP2!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE IT IS
5.Alien 5 (without ripley) 6.Pokemon movie (i hope not uaaaarrrghh) 7.Any Marvel movie or something
8.Transformers 2 (that would be lol) 9.some invaders movie 10. hellboy 2
and now guys my first idea after godzilla, and also my favorite hope … Dragonball
or its something new we all never will find out till they tell us ^^

at last excuse for my bad english iam from germany and eglisch is not my favorite ^^

Cifty Fent on Jul 12, 2007

84

it could be a lion if the guy in the movie think he see one?! but it also could be another animal that looks like a lion or really the new enemy for godzilla that looks like a lion. But the first time i have see and hear the trailer i understand alive and not lion. possible is everything ^^

Cifty Fent on Jul 12, 2007

85

So guys my brain has going to get crazy but i think i got the best idea what it is i wonder why they show it before the transformers movie, i read about it a few minutes ago and actually could it really be a second transformers movie? Anybody knows the Beast Wars saga? could be really a lion cause there the transformers transformed into animals tell me if iam wrong with that cya

Has anyone else been on the official website lately (www.1-18-08.com), because I've just been on and there's a new photograph with the other two photographs.

I can't make it out, but looks like a person running, and two women with their hands covering their mouths.

Haven't a clue what that flash of blinding light is.

Also one more thing, the numbers on the bottom right of each photograph (there's the date 01/18/08 and then some more numbers which look like the times of the day). Anyway they seem to go up, the first picture of the party is 12:01A, the second picture with the two girls scared shitless is 12:36A and the third one (the new picture) is 12:48A, maybe we'll get see some more photographs in the coming days, and if my theory is right, it should shed some more light on the events taking place as the day goes on (in the movie of course), if you get my drift.

cool "anonymous" thx for pointing out the obvius we know in the bottom right its the date a time were not fuckin stupid. ya the pic is two grls running one guy to the far right running and theres another guy in the middle standing there if u look at ur screen from an angle u can see him good. and no hes not a clue every seems to think that every little thing is a clue. the light is from idk who knows maybe a buling idk streetlights

If you think he's saying "It's a lion", you're deaf.
If you listen, you will definitely hear him enunciate the "v" sound of the word "alive".
Besides, wouldn't that give away too much if someone said "IT'S A LION!!OMGIFWEFEEDHIMHELLLOVEUSANDWECANSELLHIMTOAZOO!!!11".
Point being, that would be stupid. I doubt the creature will be anything we've ever seen before. That would be the best thing and would make it more original. Can you imagine this movie being anything close to decent if the creature was a gigantic lion?

Tom on Jul 12, 2007

106

OK, they say alive & not lion, so it's probably not Voltron. Plus I heard a different company is making Voltron & not Paramount. So Bam, is it Call of Cthulu or what? Is that the completely original monster movie? I suppose it could be b/c I've never heard of it.

Sinner on Jul 12, 2007

107

I'm leaning towards Gamera b/c Godzilla 3D is coming out this summer sometime & it's only 40 minutes long. However, that roar did sound vaguely like Gojiras, didn't it?

Sinner on Jul 12, 2007

108

ok, the licsense plate on the black SUV outside the building is ABZ 3293, now i think thats Robs car because its parked closest to the door but i dont know for sure, if you go to www.abz3293.com a person is looking for the driver of the car and he needs something from the car "a family heirloom", now, Rob is leaving for Japan, maybe the person looking for Rob has something to do with the monster but i dont know for sure again, now when i say the person looking for Rob i mean someone in the movie or the movie people making it are just giving us a hint, plain and simple Rob is the main character and a person needs something very special from him but is having trouble getting it so he gets this monster on him, or maybe its just a stupid licsence plate and the website is a hoax lol, i dont know, k bye

Oh and another find tonight, (can you tell I am hooked) On the Slusho site with all the writing about science and growing into a giant whale. The family lived on Honshu, plug Honshu and Godzilla into a search engine and you will find that More than a few Godzilla movies are centered in Honshu? The puzzle is coming together

Tom on Jul 12, 2007

116

believe me Sinner i dont do this ussually i just found the teaser really mysterious i dunno

Manpata on Jul 12, 2007

117

Ok, found something interesting… If you go to the Slusho-O website and read its "history" it says the company is based out of Honshu (in Japan). If you go to google and type in: godzilla honshu, a bunch of different websites pop up. If you read the lines describing the sites posted most of them are about the different godzilla movies made and they're all based out of Honshu… Basically meaning that's where he attacked his enemies each movie. Just something interesting that helps the whole godzilla theory. Oh and btw if you think this movie is about a lion you're a moron.

Red on Jul 12, 2007

118

With what Tom said about the giant whale thing. If you look up what godzilla means it's a cross between two japanese words. One meaning gorilla (meaning strength) and another word that means whale (referring to size).

Red on Jul 12, 2007

119

Well gotta jet. Manpata, Tom, it's been a pleasure. Later Red. I thing it could be Gamera but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Godzilla. Let's be nerds again tomorrow. Later guys. GOJIRA!!

Didn't know if this already posted, can't seem to find it. Found a new website. There are 2 very interesting things and 2 not so interesting things on it. The 2 not so interesting ones are the cloverfield website and the official cloverfield trailer site. The 2 more interesting things are The countdown on the page counting down to August 1 (another trailer perhaps?), and the pair of red eyes staring at you. For the people who are totally against the Godzilla idea, he has red eyes… Still TOTALLY sure it's not Godzilla?

Manpata on Jul 12, 2007

125

Ok this took a few hours of snooping around, but I have reasons to believe (though this would not work well with slusho unless he did that for all his Bad Robot advertising) that this may be a Revelations type movie as well, and here's why:

I searched and searched thru the Mystery Street thing but to no avail. Then someone here posted something about revelations 18:8 so I went for a read. I found this there:

'And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!'

Link

Which led me to 1:18
'I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.'

While browsing I found this one too:
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY (as in Mystery St???), BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

(Now if you have read Revelations you know that Babylon is 'the great city that falls' which is supposed to be the world's business/sin hub…not NYC u say? lol)

NOW - I went back and searched ABZ 3293, tried everything. I tried history of the date 3/2/1993 and even 3/2/1893, and even 3293 BC and found this:

Scroll down to ABZ it is an abbreviation that has to to with a man named Rykle Borger who coincidentally wrote a book and was a leading researcher in guess what? BABYLONIAN LINGUAL DECIPHERING!!!(Assyriologist)

Link

His book was called 'Assyrisch-babylonische Zeichenliste' (ABZ) Guess when it was friggin last published? '63… Anyone notice that it was 63 degrees in the news flash in the trailer? 63 degrees in NYC in Jan at midnight??? I think not.

At this point, I nearly shat myself, and began hunting deep into the world of translation of babylon scripts. I found out that AKM can also be Aleph-Kaph-Mem, lost link. Aleph-kaph-mem when googled led me to the definition 'Angel'…


Upon more searching for the 3293 part I found this:
Estimated Death Year of Adam (from Genesis and of Adam and Eve fame) to be 3293 BC…

Link


HMMMMMMMMM………

Now, throw in the fact that we have been bombarded with the number 6 (mark of the beast)…


Extra Facts:

-The Beast is synonomous with the Abyss (ABZ = Abyss also? prolly not but hey Ive been up a few extra hours now so sorry)

-People claim that someone could have drawn in the 'devilish' looking silhouette in the girls' hair, very true - but the hair thing is overdone so moving on…

-I have to sleep. I'm sure theres more links I forgot to add but this is long enough as it is.


Good Luck

ok bam all the other movies i told ya were only ideas!!! oK!! not more also if u read my post u can see i alsothink it could be something different that nobodys knows at this time. What about this smoke monster ? i heard about it from lost?

Cifty Fent on Jul 13, 2007

127

ya all the lost fans are like "OMFG SMOKE MONSTER AHHHDAFJSDFGL" but me on the other hand think the smoke monster is the dumbest monster ever. ok people seriously think about it a monster that is black smoke?? that is the stupidest idea of a monster ever id rather the film be pokemon or godzilla then some black smoke that some how and lift things up?? how can u kill smoke anyway smoke isn't even scary at all? so no i don't think its the smoke monster i actually think the smoke monster is lame as fuck. what do i think it is? ive said it before its a ORIGINAL NEW MONSTER thats what i think it is Abrams even said it like when this whole thing started.

and red www.parasitemovie.com or w/e it is is fake

and sinner i dont think its Cthulu cuz there is already a Cthulu movie made and if we were to remake it i doubt we woudl remake before it even came out any where the site is http://www.cthulhuthemovie.com/

When you listen to the trailer on a sucky sound system it does sound like that guy is saying "Its a Lion!" but when you listen to it on a GOOD sound system or just put some headphones on you can clearly make out the 'v' at the end of "Its Alive!" Trust me. I thought he said lion at first also because I listened to it on my friends regular laptop speakers but then when I got home to MY laptop thats hooked up to a separate BOSS sound system the word "ALIVE" came out loud and clear. Now when I first thought it was "lion" I figured the movie was Voltron. But JJ is not directing that movie. Thats what made me go back and listen very closely to what that guy said and low and behold it turned out to NOT be "lion." Besides, if everyone knew it was Lion already there wouldnt be any need for all this build up. I dont think the producers would be THAT brain dead to let the cat out of the bag at this point. This is an ORIGINAL monster movie. Im a Godzilla fanboy as much as the next person but Godzilla this movie is not…and it better not be because that would be a HUGE let down. I dont mind seeing another Godzilla movie come out but I dont want THIS movie to be that. All this build up and then it turns out to only be Godzilla? Please. Get some imagination people. So having said that i think its safe to say that we can rule Godzilla out so PLEASE lets not speak of him again on this thread. As a matter of fact I think its also safe to say that if this movie IS anything we've all seen before after all this secrecy, suspense, and build up then JJ, your head will be served on a platter.

IT'S LOST!!! It has to be, Abrams is a creative genius! I believe it will connect to the show somehow, one thing I always go back to is the pilot EP of lost when Rose is heard in the background mentioning something familiar about the sound of what they thought might have been a monster at first, then someone asked her where she was from with her response being New York, and obviously the 'others' have 'powers' off the island and may be the cause or at least know something about what is happening in that crazy trailer, I think 'monster' may be a little strong of a word for whatever that sound is just as it was when lost first came out. I'm still not sure whether the island is from the future or is just a 'Noah's Ark' in progress for those who survive the world's near end, but this movie just may be that 'near end' and explaining a lot just before we go into the 4th season of Lost. I'm even thinking perhaps some sort of water world where land mass is rare, the island may not even be an island but more so what's left of the Oregon coast range, sounds crazy but so is that show, and that trailer!!!

I never saw any lost episodes here in germany also u in amerika have lightyears before us watching that shit haha. My new theorie is that this could be a movie about Evangelion, anybody seen this manga? Its amazing i think this could be the first impact destroying the whole world. Evangelion is a manga about world destroying through a big Impact, Angels are sending to earth from somewhere to destroy the rest of all but the humans build robots or something against them to defeat them with human pilots help very interesting if they will make a movie of it and the story would be so hugh !!! lol

Cifty Fent on Jul 14, 2007

OK Lets look at this thing Step by step.

First the Trailer

Surprise party for Rob who is going off to Japan,

Thunderous roar, (No explosion)

They all run to the roof to see what they can see.

A huge Fireball preceded by another roar.

Everyone runs downstairs into the street and the masses are running past in terror

"I saw it Its huge and Its alive"

There is more destruction and the Statue of Liberty's head comes saoring through the air bouncing off buildings and cars and lands in the street.


Now some analysis:

The Roar is first, almost a growling roar, like something huge making its presence felt.
There has not been and explosion yet and when they are watching the news the only thing brought up is the "roaring Sound"!

Ok so whatever this thing is it is alive. (Not a Lion) Listened about a hundred times, you can definately here the V, also have seen the trailer in the Theaters 3 times now and its very clear there.

So a couple things can now be deduced, 1. This thing was already on the earth, nothing from Space, No sightings of it entering the atmosphere, no impact on the earth etc. ( I think that would have led the news broadcast instead of a "Roaring sound". and 2. This thing came out of the water, Liberty Island sits in the middle of the Hudson River, so whatever this thing is again, had to run across the Statue and destroy it prior to coming into Manhattan. Mosty likely a primative predator who mistook the figure as a challenge to its territory.

As for the clues, The Slusho shirt and the mysterious history of the company on its website, DEFINATE clue. Rob's oing to Japan, Clue, Sushi, Clue. I dont think every thing in the trailer is a clue, its part of a movie, so to pack more than a few clues into the scene you are releasing as the Teaser Just isnt Logical, Are there more, I do think so, the ABZ 3293 came up with a few thought provocing sites, The Wiki about this Zeno Character who was killed for Profisizing the end of the world on 1-18-08 is more then coincidental, I dont know enough about these things to figure out when that page was originally posted to Wiki, my bet, in the last month or so, certainly not more than the beginning of the year.

But every thing in the room is not a clue, we all need to look harder and be more selective.

The fact that nothing came from outer Space leaves out the Voltron thought, sorry for that camp, its just my opinion though.

As for a Lost movie, as passionate as the fans are, I cant see there being enough of a following to support a feature film, sorry there too.

This Chutlu? whatever that is, (and I think that sais a lot) remember everyone, to get a movie funded the studio has to believe the story is recognizable enough to draw people into the Theaters, Lovecraft was a great writer, But the demo for this flick, will definately be the 20-35 range, Not enough of those people even knwo who lovecraft is.

Gamera, see all the above.

A cult Anime flick, see above again.

As for Revelation, That is a distinctly catholic belief, and one thing in movies just doesnt sell, cramming your beliefs down somoeone else throats, see Battleship Earth.

So all this leads me to some final thoughts.

First we know there is more out there, just keep looking the pieces will come together. And Second this is sometihng both JJ and the Studio think they can sell, Either its a totally new Creature flick which would be fine by me, seeing something original is refreshing, or its a Godzilla flick, I know Godzilla 3D is in production, but that is a 40 minute thing, that is going to see little theater time, Also if you research the franchise you will find that in 04 Universal lost the rights to the sequel, and Emmerich was no longer associated with the Project, Toho the onwer of the rights, and the Japanese fans wer none too happy with the 98 flick, Broderick a JOKE, giant Iguana? it only took minor thoughts from the spirit of the character, I can see Toho, hiring a Franchise fantatic, which Abrams is supposed to be to make a true Godzilla flick, true to the history of the franchise to get people interested in it again, (SEE batman begins) a real movie compared to the live action cartoons that were the Shadow of the comic.


Oh and last thing, if you dont have it go buy a copy of the original Japanese version, It is Darker and plays up the apocolypse and end of the world talk WAY more than the Raymond Burr version. It was a movie that pulled no punches like the american pelease did.

So everyone keep looking and post what you find.

C'mon people, for the hundreth time, ITS NOT GODZILLA! Its NOT Pokimon. Its NOT Lost. Its not Voltron. Its not Cthulu because there is already a movie coming out very soon about it called….you guessed it… CTHULU! Its also not Dragonball Z or Power Rangers (Those choices would be lame, lame, LAME!) There is also NOT ANY LIONS INVOLVED! You people are like that guinney pig on the Simpsons that shocks himself and then repeatedly keeps shocking himself while trying to get the food KNOWING that the food dispenser is electrified. Wake up people! This movie is not ANY of the above. It is an origional movie with a BRAND NEW monster so we might as well all sit back and wait until 1/18/08 to get the definate answer.

pertaining to the guy on the street asking "Has anyone seen Jensen?"

Jeff Jensen conducted an interview with Abrams and his 'Lost’ gang AND Stephen King titled “When Stephen King Met The 'LOST’ Boys".

www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1562722,00.html

“But suddenly, the No. 1 question stopped being ”What is the Monster?” and went to being ”What do the Numbers mean?” This isn't to say that the Numbers don't mean anything. We just had no idea it had this potential to get totally out of control."

you can see Rob.. and behind him… you can see the empire state building lighted green ….
I was in NYC in St. PAtricks day and it was lighted green .. and i thikn that's the only day they do that!

And if they only turn green the building that day .. how come it's all green if it's January-18th??!

oh and those fireballs/comets or whatever they are look a lot like the one that landed on Hurley's fast food place that the island was probably responsible for, and the more I listen to the roar of the 'monster' the more it sounds like the movie version of what we hear from the 'monster' on lost, in which we never really saw for the longest time (and still don't really) yet it still appeared to be huge and capable of trashing on huge trees or anything in it's path. I'm thinkin the people at the going away party may just be a glimpse of real life people going through the world's end and dead before this movie even gets started, except maybe the 'main dude' (lol), but not sure, even he may be a quickie as the film moves on to something much bigger…

decker on Jul 14, 2007

157

k this one is crazy, lol, but maybe Locke is the one that died in the future flashes of Jack and is related to Jacob (John Jacob) and so angry over being forced off the island that once into his afterdeath he lays down his rage onto the rest of the world leaving it clear of his island and those lucky few who still roam it, with Jack and them somehow getting back to it, yep this one is nuts!

Its alive
Its a lion

I think the guy who says it is full of it, he just matches the roar with his first thought.

Lets look at where the guy is, he is running and they find him just outside the party, he could of been in the party for all we know. Now if he is telling facts how did he manage to find out what it was, they are on the other side of the explosions and it is night time, so how did this guy manage to get from what is probably the harbor (statue of liberty head) all the way to the party area. seems like a bad choice in evacuation routes if you ask me, not to mention if he is not BSing then why does the news have such inaccurate information.

yeah just the fact that that dude is even there and sayin what he is sayin is reason to believe Abrams is tryin to do what he does best, mislead you, whether it relates or not he did the exact same thing with lost, the people there were refering to the so called 'monster' has a gargantuan and alive even though they never seen it, just appeared so by it's sound and destruction of it's path, just like the trailer…
such a top secret film and no title is brilliant but ohhhhh man, Abrams HAS to deliver now! if it turned out to be a monster esp Godzilla, it would be very disappointing to most, not sayin it would suck cause it'd still look entertaining but not as nearly as mysterious which Abrams is all about, so I'm not worried…

I just had a thought, if you look at this map you will see the distance the head had to travel to get to any area surrounding the statue. Maybe it's chucking peices of the statue at things. The statues arm may have caused the first explosion by hitting a gas tanker port depo.

Have any of you seen the movie Deep Rising would that sea monster be a parasite?

01-18-08 USA (trailer title)
1-18-08 USA (promotional title)
Clover USA (fake working title)
Cloverfield USA (fake working title)
Slusho USA (fake working title)

That's the IMDB database.

So you can rule out Cloverfield or Slusho as the title. But both of them definitely have something to do with the movie, probably.

Who was Godzilla's nemesis? Has anyone thought about that? And the Statue of Liberty's head was NOT thrown. Look closely, and you'll see it was hit by one of the fireballs, I guess you would call them.

another possible LOST tie in is the fact the movie is coming out 01/18/08 and if you rearage that a little you get 108 108 now if thats not a LOST tie in i dont know what is

of course even if the film doesn't have anything to do with lost, Abrams will still get his kick out of makin us all think so, but I can't stop thinkin more and more that it is indeed tied one way or another!

Oh hey guys, I was just watching the trailer again and I noticed something around 1:03 marker. If you look closely, you'll see that you're all a bunch of fuck wits who have nothing better to do in your pathetic lives.

Maybe it's a completely original monster movie. Have you considered the fact that MAYBE the director doesn't want to something that's been done before? Godzilla and Cthulhu are both at the bottom of the list, Cthulhu being above Godzilla. For fuck's sake, just wait for more content to come out. You're all over evaluating what's available.

And Bam is probably the most worthless faggot to ever visit the internet. Thanks for nothing, kiddo. Kill yourself.

Its is not Godzilla.

Why. The roar is different from Godzilla's Even in the crappy American movie they still keep the roar the same from the jap movies from the 50's through the 70's.

When i first saw this i thought it might be Evangelion. But if it is then the american movie buissness has just killed another movie based on an anime/ book/ T.V. series.

This movie comes out on 1-18-08 right? Inverse the number and take out the dashes. You get 80811. Google that and you get a document about toxic waste being dumped in New York.

This is not Godzilla, that's too played out. It's not Cthulu, that was already done very recently at a film festival. There's a book written by someone about a planet that orbits Earth every 1,000 years or something, and the people making Transformers also were thinking about this a while back, and this preview is only at the Transformers movie…

After reading everything, I've come to two conclusions:

1.) While there are some signs that point to both the Cthulhu and Godzilla theories, they're probably actually doing something original. Honestly, I'd be disappointed if it were a Godzilla movie. I'd be somewhat enthusiastic if it were a decent Cthulhu movie, but I doubt it really is. Until we see more videos or get more websites, I'm going to guess it's something unique.

2.) Bam is really the worst poster on this board and should probably shut the fuck up.

McDavis on Jul 15, 2007

I'm not positive, but I think when the debris is hitting the building and the footage is all broken apart, there's a subtle message. If you slow it down and listen beyond the people screaming, you'll hear:

"Ru-" probably Run

"Oh my go-" probably Oh my god

"Shu-" probably Shut

"The fu-" probably The fuck

"Up Ba-" probably Up Bam

So we have five sequences, all with small fragments saying "Run… Oh my god… Shut… The fuck…. Up Bam…" I believe it's a sign that Bam should stop posting and take his anger out on his dick, preferably by removing it with a butter knife.

seraph i like your style very well and for me u have so right with that hahahah very nice ;-)

but guys i found something interresting, a man that was on the set of that movie? perhaps

http://www.9news.com/life/entertainment/article.aspx?storyid=73653

this could be agreat clue if this is real!

the man at that article said its a new monster in this movie no sequel or something and u will find a lot of clues on that slusho page but its hard i think, also he said u should listen to the roar more and this line where the guy said: 'I saw it ' Its alive' Its huge'

For me this sound not like ALIVE!!!

how about : 'I saw it' ITS A LIGHT' Its huge?

Cifty Fent on Jul 15, 2007

For those who won't take the link? here the report for new information the other half i have past cause we all know the other shit ;-)



9NEWS Entertainment Reporter Kirk Montgomery learned exclusively on Friday from a secret source, who is on the set of the film every day, that it is not a sequel or a remake (which precludes King Kong or Godzilla). It is not Voltron or "Lost"-related.

The source told Kirk the 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.

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

The official Web site is www.1-18-08.com, but the source tells Kirk that apparently a Japanese-style Web site, www.slusho.jp, has lots of clues yet undiscovered by the rabid fans who have been scouring the Internet for hints.

The source told Kirk the biggest clue of the trailer is in the line: "I saw it, it's alive, it's huge."

The source also says the sound the "creature" makes is another big clue. He says the creature is an organic, living thing.

The film is being released by Paramount, but they also are not saying anything. Yet.

Hi it's me again (I would like to be known as "anonymous"), but I've just seen something crazy, this is of course something to do with this movie.

I'll start from the beginning, as I'm REAllY BIG film critic I have a lot of movie websites that I go on to looking for sweet juicy information on really cool movies coming out, such as this movie.

I've just been on one of my favourite websites (www.countingdown.com), and found a post relating to this movie with two videos posted by two different members on there, both these videos were from youtube which I'm sure you've all heard of.

And I think I literally (well I did) PUKED all over my computer screen with disgust regarding the 1st video, and PISSED myself with laughter regarding the 2nd video because it was just so god damn funny here are the links to the videos, copy & paste into your browser so you can watch them (if you want to).

Trailer 1 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=qTpYGJzqcUU

Trailer 2 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=filMlR3JYVk

Personally if I knew what both of these ideos were before watching them, I wouldn't bother watching the first one as I DO NOT BELEIVE THAT THIS IS WHAT IT IS, IT'S A LOAD OF FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!

…Sorry just had to get that out of my system, if you want to know what I mean watch it, but don't hold me responsible for ruining your own computer screen by puking up last nights dinner.

The second I'd just watch for a laugh or if made PHYSICALLY SICK by the first video, and need cheering up again I'd watch this straight after. But I wouldn't beleive what this guy hopes it to be either.

If the links don't work when you paste them into your browser tell me and I'll repost them.

Oh yes, and just tell me what you think the videos are like, I mean there is now PISSING way it could be that… I wouldn't even bother picking up a poster of the damn film never mind going to see it at the cinema. There' just no way…

Ok guys, back again… It is absolutely not Lost! Sorry to all you Lost fans out there but that would be ridiculously stupid since no one I know watched past the first season of Lose (I watched the first season, it got old, sorry). Secondly, this Cthulu/ bible theory is totally wrong. Only a handful of people really know about Cthulu and religious films only draw in so many people because religion causes huge issues in society between different groups. As for the outer space ideas, uhm… NO! If it was from outer space we would have been given some clue about that by now, we have not found or seen anything that would suggest it's from ANOTHER planet. IT'S NOT A FREAKING LION SO IF YOU STILL THINK THAT YOU'RE A COMPLETE MORON. I'm sticking with the Godzilla idea… Support?

1. "I saw it. It's alive. It's huge." Not too many giant monsters that are FROM planet earth.
2. He's going to Japan and they're eating sushi.
3. It very obviously came in from the Hudson River where the Statue of Liberty is located.
4. It roars (I don't freaking care if it doesn't sound like the roar from the previous movies it sounds pretty damn similiar to me.)
5. If you go to the Slusho website the "secret ingredient" supposedly came from the bottom of the ocean.
6. The history of Slusho states it could turn a small fish into a big whale… The word godzilla dervies from the japanese words gorilla and WHALE.
7. Slusho began in Honshu, Japan where ALL the Japanese Godzilla movies were set.

There's alot more I've found but those are some pretty obvious clues.

Btw. If this is Pokemon (which it's definately now) I'll kill myself.

Simple question, Why would ANYONE! make a movie about a little known Anime story, that only rabid Anime fans love. Like the studio said, hey we want to lose a few million quick lets make a movie that only a few nerds will understand and love!!

Hi, me again

I forgot to tell you there are loads more interesting and weird videos on the links I gave you ( including a report on CNBC and a Trailer Audio Spectroanalysis whatever the HELL that is), just look to the right of the video you are already playing and you'll see a whole list of videos and just click on it, and it should play.

P.S. Sometimes all the videos don't show up on the list so you just have to keep clicking on different ones until you get a different video on the list.

ok, I'm new to JJ Abrams, but to me it seems like this won't be as much a remake of something else as something new and original. I would love if it was some goofy mistranslation of revelation prophecy, and that may be the case. however, it doesn't look like it.

anyhow, so far these are the ONLY decent ideas I've heard so far:

it's a movie about Cthulu.
It's a movie about old mythical gods waging war on our modern landscape.


as for…


pokemon/digimon - I think that anyone with as much grit as mr Abrams has show will know not to start a viral marketing craze and then cop out with "it's………POKEMON!!!." I think that he probably knows better, and honestly has more to spend his time on. also, if it were a pokemon movie, why would people in the trailer be referring to the creature making the sound as an "animal" ("what kind of animal sounds like that???") in the pokemon anime they never referred to them as animals, only pokemon. as for digimon… give me a break. no one likes digimon. also, to the person who said that satoshi clearly pointed to pokemon…. satoshi is just a japanese name. like Rick is an american name.

Godzilla - loosely possible, but remember that the REAL godzilla movies took place in tokyo, and I don't think abrams would be lame enough to make the "let's put godzilla in new york" mistake twice.
however, if he does, I will attempt to remove my foot from my mouth and go about my business.

Voltron - no. sorry. whether the guy says "alive" or "lion", it rules it out. voltron wouldn't strike you as alive, you'd say "holy hell! a robot!" and…

oh hell, I think a couple of the voltron robots were lions. shit.


let's just hope that's not the case.

peace

JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE! IT IS NOT FUCKING GODZILLA! There is no way anyone would want to see a Godzilla movie without his trademark roar. Even when they revamped Godzilla's image in the late 1990's they still kept the trademark roar. Why are you people so Goddamned hard headed? After all this crap if it DOES turn out to be Godzilla I will persnally knock on JJ's door and punch him right in the face!

Ed on Jul 15, 2007

187

ED, agreed! I myself would like a good godzilla movie but if something that's building this excitment already and to have no name it just has to deliver much more then a godzilla or any monster flick, the only possibility for that is if the movie is a blair witch monster movie in which the idea is not all that bad but still def not worthy of this sort of hype!

and RED, if you did watch and understand more of lost then you would know that all the 'support' you listed is exactly the kind of stuff Abrams likes to fool ya with, lead ya another direction, he WANTS people to lean toward it being godzilla or something of it's kind, otherwise he wouldn't shock ya like he plans to, lost or not lost, his goal is DEF to mystify us not just up until we finally get to see it, but while we see it, and probably even after we see it. and he is good enough to make this movie just as easy to understand and enjoy for those who have never even seen lost, which of course they all will afterward if it does indeed connect!

decker on Jul 15, 2007

Someone explain to me where this 'it came from the Hudson River' crap came from….yes, I know the Statue of Liberty is located on an island bordered by the Hudson River on all sides, but the monster doesn't physically grab the Statue of Liberty's head to throw it, it's hit by one of those fireball type of shits..whatever you want to call them. Anyways, I also don't seem to remember Godzilla being able to create one big fireball explosion death combo, that looks something like the damn supernova or a meteor. I'm not trying to rule him out, because honestly, I don't give a fuck if it is him or not.

It's not going to be Evangelion, sorry. There isn't enough of an anime following to dedicate a Hollywood movie budget to.

Come on, how the fuck is it going to be chultu or whatever the fuck its called? Didn't that monster originate in South America? I'd find it fuckin hilarious that in 2008, no one in the world could detect a giant sea creature making his way from fuckin Brazil or something all the way to New York City, whe
