After weeks of waiting for anything to come up about Cloverfield, the followers got what they wanted, sort of. It was discovered that a roar had been added to the 1-18-08.com website. After 6 minutes, a long roar would commence and leave some people wetting themselves. Prior to that, it was clear that some of the loyal following began to get bored with the movie and, in some cases, people just ‘dropped out of the race.’ I find this completely understandable. JJ Abrams’ decision to show this teaser 6 months in advance was a brave one. How could he add to the hype for half a year and at the same time, keep everyone intrigued? Well, it has been almost two months and that question still has yet to be answered.
In the beginning, there were updates on a consistent basis, which in turn made it possible for sites such as this one to grow in popularity. Waking up, getting on the computer, and going to all the Cloverfield blog sites has become a routine of mine. It has come to the point that stopping this routine would be equivalent to blasphemy. I have spent hours and hours researching, posting, theorizing about this movie along with thousands of others. In some message boards it is becoming hostile. Some kid who may have just seen the trailer comes on the message boards having just figured out the pictures on 1-18-08.com flip, writes about it and gets verbally attacked for his tardiness. It is a shame that things are getting to that point. Movies are a form of entertainment that lead to brilliant discussions and debates, not verbal abuse. It is not just newcomers to the movie that get yelled out, no, even veterans of this quest to find more are attacked. Why are they attacked? Well, they could have been researching and come up with a theory that, in their mind, is entirely plausible. Even though it might be feasible, if it sounds stupid or doesn’t make sense in the context of what was seen in the trailer, they are called out.
Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on the people who post the abuse. JJ Abrams has said that there are a lot more websites dedicated to this movie, but we haven’t found them yet. He chooses not to give ANY hints and leaves us in the dark. So, we find any phrase in the teaser, type it in, and hope it’s a website. Nowadays, there is a lot more viral marketing and it will only continue to grow. All kinds of games are marketed online and because of that, some of those websites are mistaken for websites for Cloverfield. A prime example was ethanhaas. People were so sure that it was related to the movie, especially because of the skyline in the background gradually becoming destroyed. In the end it turned out to be for a game called AlphaOmega. This may seem like common sense to must people but don’t assume anything. That is probably one of the best pieces of advice I can give someone.
Anyway, although the roar might suffice for a week, things will begin to get nasty again. We cannot simply eat these crumbs JJ gives us. We are a hungry people. I don’t think we need official things on consistent basis more so than hints on a consistent basis. That way, it keeps us thinking and on our toes. It actually might be better to give hints rather than official sites or what not.So, in conclusion, JJ if you’re out there somewhere reading this think about your marketing process right now. Do you really think it is safe to assume everyone will stay with this movie for the entire 6 months? In my opinion, I do not think driving people to the point of insanity is the way to go. Dropping hints consistently will get the job done, I believe. Keep in mind that I can give you all the advice in the world for marketing this movie, but it is your duty to these loyal fans to follow through and give them the best damn monster movie of all time.

Amen.
wow what a post! i know monst of that is directed towards me tho because of the way i attack newcomers on this website but its only when they mention a giant rat or godzilla or chthulu. I agree with you so much and that is what i have been saying that this movie better be really really good and not just another BS movie made with millions of dollars
No, it wasn’t directed toward you Matthew. It was directed toward the people on the IMDB boards. They have no mercy and are ruthless.
I want to see stuff i have never seen before and i dont want to go to the movies to spend 10 bucks on a ticket just to be disappointed by another lack luster movie with cheesy effects, fake looking kills, a bad monster, and a bad story. In the trailer the liberty head already looked like a poorly done computer graphic head so imagine whatever the monster is will look like. All I am saying is I DO NOT WANT TO BE MISLEAD JUST BECAUSE OF A TRAILER!
Dread Central has news from a person who claims that there cousin is in the movie or works for the movie. Apparently there will be a new cloverfield trailer released on sept 21 2007 in the credits before the new Resident Evil Extinction movie on this day. AGAIN this is from dread central and boxxet.com who follow the resident evil movie. This however has not yet been confirmed by either website but its worth mentioning
I have heard of the new trailer being released with Resident Evil as well as a new trailer on Sept 1. Who the hell knows what is going on?
to tell you the truth i really dont care that much anymore this is getting boring
and you know what I dont think that he will learn from this and he will use this everytime he releases a movie
Godspeed.
its sad because if he would have approached this differently this could have been one summer that i would have actually waited and anticipated a movie and slove clues and everything but sadly im getting bored with this and do not look forward to seeing the move anymore than i did when i saw the trailer again
you have no idea how hard i am trying to find new webbies dedicated to this movie
love the whole idea, been a hell of a long time since i’ve found something to occupy my attention like this
makes me love being an amateur movie buff
We at AXB Enterprises were among the first to fully immerse ourselves into Cloverfield mania. The weekend following the first trailer viewing was spent doing almost NOTHING but searching, blogging, checking sources, and blogging about Clover(Cloverfield, Parasite, 1-18-08, Overnight…whatever the blog du jour called it). It got me thousands of hits and it kept me wanting to keep digging. Since the only thing that pops up anymore is Slusho, I grow weary.
I believe that if JJ Abrams had other Viral sites devoted to the film, that they would have been leaked to Harry Knowles or a message board by now. Maybe in a week I’ll write another Cloverfield story, but for now I will just keep checking in with those who have more time an energy than I.
Great post.
I have the same feelings about the “hunger”. I’ve feeded my Google Reader with Cloverfield links and every day I see longingly whether there are some news about the Project… And find only some roars and new disappointments.
Interesting is the metamorphose of the audience - from discoverer and open minded searchers to conservative “guardians of truth” (if there is some one), who smash the newcomers into the old known facts. This phenomenon is really a mirror of our society: newcomers are also fascinated with the things, other people already have found, but the “seniors” are harded, they don’t feel any fascination.
I think even if our searches won’t be paid off, even if the movie isn’t that great, but the sociological experiment, we’ve taken part of, will be the history.
But I don’t give up and hope, JJ Abrams is wise and know that the peoples imagination cannot be exceeded. If he want to make really great movie, he has to include it in his plan: e.g. not showing the monster at all, but showing only naked fearness and successless escapes from an unseen horror - it would make the movie (imha) really everlasting classic.
No i dont think so because the movie is based on the monster itself destroying the city now what sense would it make for him not to show the monster that would just disappoint alot of people because thats mainly the whole point of the movie and what most people want to find out is what the monster is and what it looks like. IF he were to have his movie shot like that then he wouldnt have made the trailer the way it was made with everybody asking what is it and then having that detailed roar. Plus unseen horror movies throw away the whole point of a horror movie especially a monster movie and supposedly this monster is supposed to be HUGE so imagine a movie that is supposed to be a destroy everything movie but we cannot see what is doing it! that throws away the whole point of a giant monster movie! I say he should use certain shots of the monster like for example in war of the worlds they only shot the actual alien beings once but the vehicles throughout the movie so something like that like maybe shoot the whole alien/monster whatever it is once like in the beginning and then maybe like 3 or more shots and then at the end when it is supposed to die
Not sure if anyone has tried this but www.youcantdrinkjustsix.com redirects you to http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/vents/acoustics/sounds/bloop.html
This is the “bloop” sound recorded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website. I guess some believe this is the “bloop” communicated by the horse on the Slusho site. It’s Probable that someone registered the domain and had it directed to the NOAA site. Draw your own conclusions.
Not sure if anyone knows this, but honey is the only food that never goes bad.
yes armstrong we know about the bloop sound, we know what the duck says, and we know all about the youcantdrinkjustsix website actually if you go back a few posts we had a whole discussion on it but yes WE KNOW WE KNOW WE KNOW
WE KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and armstrong i wasnt being mean its just that when you have already talked about something and somebody comes in with the same stuff that you talked about it really gets annoying. Let me break it down to you, the bloop sound is just a bloop nothing more. The youcantdrinkjustsix website has been debunked by a couple of websites but not all of them and the underwater sounds webstie that it leads you to has yet to be proven to mean anything by any website. The only thing that most people including myself found interesting on the website was that the other sound the mysterious sound or something sort of sounds like the roar from the movie
does anybody know if that news i posted about the movie trailer has been proven to be true yet?
If I hadn’t posted how would I ever know that honey is the only food that doesn’t go bad.
I obviously haven’t studied this as in depth as you have but imagine how annoying it is to post something and get a slap in return. The internet is no excuse to be rude.
Do you have any idea how many people may have read my post and thought “huh I didn’t know that”.
Basically, try to keep your e-peen under control. You’ve already made reference to your holier than though mindset in response to the OP.
JJ Abrams has posted a bulletin and a blog about your article on restless fans on his MySpace Page. I think he is mocking you?
Any publicity is good publicity. Give me the link. I want to see this.
“Do you have any idea how many people may have read my post and thought “huh I didn’t know that”.”
Yeah prolly not as many as you would like to think. If your posting on this website majority of the people here have been following this for quite sometime and know that already. As far as your hurt feelings go grow up if your going to be posting on the net you’re going to need a much much tougher skin then you’ve apparently got atm. If you dealt with people on a regular basis irl and every once in a while someone came up to you and said “omg if you take those laces on your shoes and tie em in a knot they wont fall off” I’d be willing to bet you’d be a lil more then rude to them too.
And i wasnt even being rude i was just saying that we knew that already and i didnt say everybody i said most of the people on this website. I dont know what the honey comment has to do with anything lol but i wasnt trying to hurt anybodys feelings and like i said before i wasnt trying to be rude or mean but like i said i hate when people come to the website and say stuff that we have already discussed its the same with the godzilla people and the same with the chthulu people and the same with the giant rat people. So look man im sorry if you felt i was rude but really i am just telling the truth. Ask anybody on this website how i am with people who mention old stuff and stupid theories and they will tell you that hes not being mean or rude he is just setting the record straight on things. So look if you thought i was being rude to you armstrong im sorry alright
Besides armstrong wouldnt you be mad if somebody came on this website tomorrow and posted the same thing you said today? wouldnt you be annoyed?
Wow!
Must be a lot of youngins blogging here.
Pointless jabber
“Wow!
Must be a lot of youngins blogging here.
Pointless jabber”
I’m 29 if that was directed to me. I just know how matthew feels after having done the lost experience last summer i know what its like when someone comes in after almost 2 month to post somethin that’s been discussed to no end for the last 2 months. Not tryin to be rude here just blunt, most forums/blogs have some kind of feature that lets you check old news, if people cant be bothered to use that then dont expect me to be “nice” after having read the saaaame thing for the 73rd time.
Also i know someone is gonna say “but this site doesnt have a search feature” while that maybe a simple google search for “cloverfield bloop” results in..
http://www.google.com/search?q=cloverfield+bloop&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Showing 1,030 results which means its pretty safe to say its not new news.
Thank you dawgfather! finally somebody understands what i am trying to say but look you know what armstrong came on and thought he had some new news i told him he didnt i could have been nicer my apologies to him if i was rude in any way because thats not how i am, he said his comment to me and i responded but its cool now no hard feelings no need to continue because this is gonna get way outta hand if it does and then more and more people will come into it and then it will be a whole big thing so lets just chill and focus on the movie and finding new clues again. Oh and by the way I am a college student so i dont know if that classifies me as a “youngin”
Anybody have any new news on the movie thus far? people are still talking about raptor like creatures even tho that has been debunked on several sites
You, my friend, are right where JJ wants you. You’re writing about it, people are getting pissed off, and his movie is still staying on topic. Does it come to any surprise that the new additions to the sites came only last week when most discussion of it had dwindled to jokes?
BTW, I think JJ is lying about there being clues and other official sites out there for us to disect. There are two reasons supporting this theory:
1. There are thousands of us looking and searching for any such thing, ranging from High School Dropouts to Medical Doctors and Fanboys to Film Production Specialists. We have been looking for two months now, and the only things we can find are entirely obvious to us. We would have found them by now.
2. He would lie about this because it does just what I outlined above. It keeps us focused and desparate. There probably a small town’s population on slusho.jp right every second with there noses pressed on the screen looking for something no one has spotted yet. We are slaves to his riddle, and will be until the marketing agency has let something out that blows it wide open.
I haven’t noticed anyone comment on the set in NYC under the bridge in central park from nooneimportant (yes Matthew1808 I know its old)
There is one guy yelling “boom” and another guy shaking dirt.
It would seem to me that they were simulating the foosteps of the BIG GUY coming towards them while they are hiding under the bridge. Im assuming that small raptor-like creatures wouldn’t make such a thud.
somebody said that scene was the ending scene with rob and beth under the bridge focusing on each other and not on the chaos. i remember that it was mentioned in the call sheet and the call sheet was proven to be legit
That call sheet says nothing.
That is not the ending. The main characters are huddled under a bridge covered in blood and terrified at what is coming. Re-examine the actors under the bridge when the grip says “BOOM”. They shudder in fear……….
The grips are obviously simulating the monster’s stomp and the actual thuds will be placed during post-production.
Here is where our call sheet misled.
-”That’s a wrap” was just “the wrap” for the location
-call sheet scene lists don’t represent chronological shooting of the movie
-The call sheet even tells you Rob and Beth are “going to wait out the chaos” (Great way to end a movie)
Imagine if the Japanese hid in subway tunnels to “wait it out” from GODZIlla and that was how it ended. NAH!
there are a few hardcore people who will always stay interested. there is a new crowd of people learning about all this daily. but…there is also a massive amount of people who expressed casual interest, found out everything to date…and then left it all behind as there wasn’t anything to really keep them going.
in terms of marketing, what you want to do is build up an interest first. everyone who knows anything about cloverfield is now what we can call an “interested party.” this means that when new news comes out…they will pay attention, come back to the table for awhile, tell their friends…etc.
you can’t continually string people along with a tidbit here and there for a period of 6 months…everyone will burn themselves out except for the hard core. so what you do is build interest, and then wait….then you release a whole glut of new information, sites, viral sites, viral marketing….and everyone comes back, except now they’re telling everyone they can find about it….and those people are now telling everyone they know…
its a progression….so seriously, don’t expect to really see anything major until september…probably around halfway through, though the RE3 movie would be a great time to put out a different teaser….or at least a more complete teaser
anyway guys…trust me when i say that JJ knows what he’s doing, he knows how to market things because he knows how to listen to the experts yet also follow his own intuition….
expect some hints, a few dropped references…things like that, but thats all just tweaking…the real stuff will be dropped later.
i don’t feel like re writing this so check it out….

I will respectfully disagree with “don’t be stupid.” You have your opinion on the marketing and I have mine. In regards to ryan, I think mirroring that picture and seeing that face is just another ‘demon in the hair’ incident. Your mind does something called matrixing (I think that is what it is called) where it analyzes a photo and tries to find anything it can recognize. Brains do not like giving up on something so that is why they find things like that. It is just smoke, in my opinion.
A giant turtle. I could see how this would be a horror movie.
yeah i dont think a giant turtle would be a great fit for a giant monster movie? the last turtle thing i remember in a monster movie was that thing in godzilla and we all know that this movie is not and has nothing to do with godzilla
Has anyone noticed that several of the characters on the Slusho! homepage have begun to say that there are “new flavors” coming soon and “Slusho making fresh improvements just for you”?
you know on the website they said that before they did all the new updates when everything became avaliable so maybe this is a new way to tell us that new stuff is finally coming soon!
if there is really new stuff coming to the slusho website i wonder what it could be? i dont care all i know is i need new fresh stuff! Thanks for the info Blood Orchid
Well actually…I was just on IMDB and was informed that the site has been saying that for awhile now…hopefully updates will come soon, though!
oh well ok them but you know the last time i went on the website it didnt say anything about new updates so i wonder why the sudden change. Also I i dont see what else they could possibly add to the website without it being something that could be a clue to the movie
I just really started getting into Cloverfield last night…I spent four hours looking at Ethan Haas stuff…until I finally read the end of the thread and found out that it had nothing to do with Cloverfield…lol…So I have no idea what Slusho might have said before it started saying that….
A picture has surfaced of a person wearing THE monster costume.
Its a soundstage photo with a miniature NYC in the background and Slusho! stickers on the camera equipment.
It was removed less than two minutes after I recieved word.
Hesistant to post the photo. Don’t need a lawsuit.
Don’t like spoilers!
Mmmhmm…right. And what site was this? Did you think to check who the site is registered to? It is most likely a gamejack…and if you don’t mind, I do believe that if you posted the images, it would prevent any further negative feedback…that is, of course, if the pictures aren’t obvious fakes.
Good point…………..escept
an elaborate costume that I would be proud to have made
NYC replica is about 7′ high and impressively detailed in front of a green screen (no destruction to it though)
and the SLusho! sticker on an equipment case in the background.
7 feet. there goes my theory that the monster is played by Verne Troyer
Okay…and you have absolutely no proof of that, do you?
You guys are the clue finders.
Its out there somewhere. you find it and post it.
Im sure 1-18-08news will show it soon and spoil it for the rest of you. As for me, there’s not much left to see until the movie is out.
Only thing I will detail is- this thing doesn’t look like it spawns raptor-like creatures.
1 18 08news is a useless website because they really dont check their facts before posting news. it seems like somebody gives them a tip about the movie or they find something and then they post it up for everyone to be amazed by their findings and then come to find out that the news is fake and then they have to go apologize to everyone for posting fake stuff so dont rely on 1 18 08 news because they are not reliable
Hey, maffusse. No proof, no credibility. Anyway, I do not believe it for a second.
Exactly my point…no credibility at all.
maffusse are teh crapzorz. i mean…complete lack of any corroborating evidence aside…you lack basic grammar and english skills when attempting to spell words that shouldn’t have been that hard….on top of that you also claim that you “don’t like spoilers”…
well since you don’t like spoilers…maybe you shouldn’t have said anything at all, not that you really said anything credible at all.
in short, if this was my World of Warcraft (yes, dorky) realms forum, we’d call you a chinese farmer and be done with it.
argh
RAR!
there, i are teh done with teh trollingz
you cant have news without any credibility because then its just a rumor that is or is not true and when that happens its usually BS
Don’t be stupid just breath. it’s ok.
Its just a movie and this is just a blog.
What’s up with “tough guys” on these blogs?
Matthew1808: It is what is and Im not concerned about my credibility. If I come accross the pic again today then I will email it. Fair enough?
I suppose that is…however….I will still classify it as a rumor until then. Is that a deal?
Well there’s another emailer talking about the movie. This time, they sent it to ain’t it cool news so tread carefully my friends. Of course, it also contains rumors we heard before along with a bit more. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33835
Just got done reading that, actually…sounds intriguing…but then again…its only rumor. It *would* be amazing if that *was* the new trailer, though! ^_^
ok maffusse thats fair enough.
but i thought that the monster or monsters for this movie were supposed to be all CGI and everything else was supposed to be acted out?
Anyone discussed the “shrapnel” that flies out of the explosion in the trailer
I noticed that they flare up when they reach the sky.
So if the aintitcool report was right. Maybe those were the scales flying off the monster and maybe the explosion was caused by military ordinance not the monster.
Do scales explode?
i dont think scales explode, I dont know do they?
you know what i just read that article and to me it sounds like somebody who had an idea for the movie like thought of it and then said that he got it from somewhere and then started to wrtie about it and sent it to AICN.com. Now if what he says is true and that is a scene in the movie or whatever you gotta go back to thinking about those raptor like creatures causing more havoc than the monster itself. Now the whole thing about the scales turning into the raptor like creatures is a little dumb it sounds like something out of a low budget monster movie. The thing i am most interested in is the part about the girl who keeps saying she doesnt feel well and then they say she has been bitten. Now this element has been used in the resident evil movies( i know you hate resident evil subzero lol) and when a person gets bitten by a zombie they catch the virus and turn into a zombie. Now what i am thinking is if the monsters scales turn into smaller creatures and they go around and bite people then maybe the people who get infected also turn into creatures which would explain why they yell she has been bitten. So if i am right, Abrams might go along the lines of a plot where they need to find or create an antidote for people who have been bitten by these creatures before its too late and they turn into creatures themselves. THAT WOULD BE AN AWESOME MOVIE!!!!!!!! if that is true
i also heard something that when the people get bit in the movie they start to throw up black blood, i forgot where i heard this though
Ill try to explain more clearly
If the unfiction report is true about the scales coming off the monster after being hit with bullets, missiles etc and then they turn into smaller creatures then my theory is this:
By the time the party gets to the roof the battle has already started. The military uses some huge explosive on the monster which is the explosion you see in the trailer. The things that fly out of the explosion are the monster’s scales. Watch how they go way farther than normal shrapnel or debris and spread throughout the city.
So is it one of the scales that hits the roof Rob and Co. are standing on? If so, why does it explode? I have never owned a lizard (or movie monster), but I would imagine that scales would not explode.
“JJ Abrams has said that there are a lot more websites dedicated to this movie, but we haven’t found them yet.”
Just to clarify…. that isn’t what he said. He said that 1-18-08 was the only site found, which was true at the time he sent the email to AICN. There is a very distinct difference between the two.
I don’t know it was just a theory.
Could be the smaller monsters busting out of the scales in mid air.
I don’t have time, but if anyone can take a real close look at the trailer when the one lands next to the people on the roof.
Question: Why does Rob turn and look towards the sky right before the explosion, like he sees something? I was wondering if maybe what he sees is a fighter jet in the sky and maybe the jet is the one that causes the explosion. You don’t hear a jet I know, but you also don’t hear Rob say “shut up” at the point.
I would guess Rob sees a fireball falling in his direction. I would probably turn and look towards the sky too.
He is looking in the opposite direction and he does before the explosion
i think he just looks in the direction before the explosion because of the loud siren noises you know like hes trying to see where they are coming from and then the explosion happens and thats when the scales start flying everywhere and blowing stuff up
but now wait i have heard of a movie like this before, sort of a similar effect. I dont remember waht movie it was (probably something i saw a long time ago) but i swear i have seen something like this before
Has any other blog discussed the fireballs?
I don’t think this has been looked into much at all
The fireballs have been discussed a bit on the IMDB boards but no one has come up with anything good. I wouldn’t even know what to say about them.
i dont think anybody hs anything on the fireballs because nobody had this tip before. Now if those fireballs turn out to be the scales of the monster then why would they explode when they land? wouldnt that kill them?? also when you look at the trailer the roar and the explosion looks like it happens all the way across town. So how are people saying that they saw it and they are passing the apartment where they were holding the part for rob. how can the monster get from one place to another in that amount of time? unless we are dealing with more than one monster? or unless the raptor like creatures arent that small? what if they are big but not as big as the monster? and only one is chasing the people. If that is so then who throws the head? if the big monster is across town? getting shot at? has anybody else noticed this?
Someone made the point that we do not know how much time there between the lights going out and the rooftop scene.
but even still the rooftop scene is when the explosion happens. the lights go out during the roar. and when they go on the rooftop the explosion happens in the background. now to me that looks far away and is where the roar happens again. Now after the explosion is when those fireballs come into play. If the fireballs are the scales of the monster then they come from a far away distance than robs apartment if it even is robs apartment because he is at a surprise party so he could be at anybodys apartment. anyway then mad people are running away from something and what i am saying is that the monster cannot be all the way across town, then be chasing people in an instant unless it has some sort of telepoting power or it can fly but i dont think that is the case. And besides the monster has to be coming in from the water area because it throws the statue of liberty head and we all know that she stands out in the water. so what i am saying is that it might be possible you have one monster that is already being attacked across town and then the explosion wakes up the other monster in the water which causes it to get mad and tear off the head and throw it into the street and then it swims or walks into the city and that is the monster on robs side of NYC. See now the trailer makes no sense at all and i dont think people really looked at this entirely. Like i said we may be dealing with more than one monster I mean JJ did say we need our own godzilla and in every godzilla movie he fights somebody else so could this be our story in NYC? could it be the bad monster attacking the city and the good monster that rises up and throws the liberty head because its pissed off that it had to wake up? and then in godzilla movies godzilla and the evil monster usually face off in a part of the city and battle until one dies or leaves. Come on somebody has to admit I have a point here!!!!!!!!
No, I do not think there is another monster the same size as the original one. Not everything in this teaser, much less a whole movie, is going to be perfect. This is probably one of those instances. I do not think the fireballs are scales because how can you fire something at the monster and the scales go the direct opposite way 1000 feet. That could be one of those mistakes but that is a little too farfetched. I am sitting here thinking about what could cause that explosion. The thing that keeps coming to my mind is maybe this monster has some sort of arsenal of fire breath or some other unimaginable weapon. I just don’t know but I definitely do not think there is another monster of the same size, nor do I think those fireballs are scales.
I want to mention something completely different now. Everyone has assumed that the cameraman is Hudson Platt (You owe me eleven dollars). I know he is holding that camera in the picture on 1-18-08.com but the “You owe me eleven dollars” voice sounds NOTHING like “It’s for Rob, say something before he leaves.” I figured I would mention that. It has bugged me for a very long time.
Smaller monsters busting out of the scales? It looks like Sin, the whale-like monster in Final Fantasy X.
Matthew1808, maybe you have played this game?
Good comparison…I never thought about that before…hmmm…
dude…..you can totally flip the pictures on 1-18-08…………
el-oh-el
I think the explosion was caused by the monster breaking a gas main. Maybe someone (or the monster) was lighting a cigarette outside (no smoking in bars in NYC) ,and caused the explosion. The people running away saying things like ” I saw it. It’s alive. It’s huge” may have been on a taller builiding allowing them to see further than Rob and Co. This is going to be a monster movie. Not all of it is going follow real life physics.
The battle is reported on the news. That’s why they go to the roof.
Why would you go to the roof of a building to “see” an earthquake.
the news report mentions nothing about a battle. She says a loud roaring sound and then they go up to the roof but the earthquake words are there because that what they suspected it was, they didnt know what it was so they called it an earthquake because as you can see as the monster roars the camera and the building shake which causes the light to go out
I still say that person who sent in that thing to ACIN is just another person with a theory that made it sound like they were stating facts from the movie or making up a scene for the movie that they thought would sound good. anybody can do it because its not hard to do and on top of all of that it is an “unidentified source”
Best thing about these blogs is JJ, Matt, Drew, cast and crew may just be hidden behind one of the screen names on this very blog
:))))))))))))))))))))))
lol that may be true
Hey guys, about that smaller creature theory: I just thought remembered something about whales. There are fish called remoras that are small and known to attach themselves to bigger animals in order to get scraps of food the main animal doesnt eat. Remoras also swim with sharks and manta rays, etc. So, they are like vultures of the sea that swim with bigger predators. That could be an answer to tie in with the whale talk and the smaller creature stuff. That being said, I still am on the fence about it.
Anything happen with the september first release of a new trailer?
… new trailer? what.
Subzero heard a rumor of new trailer sept 21 (new Resident Evil) as well as Sept 1. I am guessing that the latter turned out to be just a rumor.
Well, as it’s September 4th and nothing has been said, I would think no new trailer was released.
As for Resident Evil… That’s a Sony Pictures release, so a attachment would not be likely. That does not mean a new trailer couldn’t premier then, but being attached to a film by a rival studio, probably not so much.
Yeah, I figured nothing was released. Honestly, I was just bored and felt like typing something.
No a new trailer hasn’t been confirmed. I had originally said that somebody got a tip on this website that was follwing the resident evil movie and they said that a new trailer was gonna come out before resident evil but like I said it was a tip and it wasnt confirmed so i think they threw it out as fake but as of right now nobody has anything on a new trailer
Ok here is another guy claiming to have gotten information from his friend, who is working on the movie. For some reason, I kind of believe this one. Anyway, if you don’t want to see possible spoilers do not click this link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1060277/board/thread/84371161
Good read, and it kind of sounds legit. The only thing is, everyone has a friend. Everyone has a theory. This guy’s theory sounds the best so far though.
Yes, I agree it seems like everyone knows someone. Also, anytime something like this happens, people will say “Oh that is not new information, we have already talked about that.” Well, don’t you think we have covered just about every possibility in the world for this movie. Don’t be surprised if it is not something new.
There is something that’s changed on 1-18-08.com

Odd.
The website title had two dashes and now its got 3
