If there's one thing that Slusho site does, is mix things up.....I think if we want clues, we need to look at the trailer closely.....EVERYTHING in there, from their parallel universe, MUST have a website....

Ooh...I know!

It's Baragon!!!!! :P

But if it's huge.....anyone care to guess "Gorgo Update"?

I think that's as close as the US ever got to a giant a-list movie monster....although it's been YEARS since that thing.......


BTW, I'm not that old to know 'bout him - I read about him on wikipedia :D :P

I'm not saying any of those are the actual monster, just countering pdg3's claim that only Godzilla or Gamera could do that kind of job. :P

Wow. It's well past midnight, I've just finished reading Lovecraft's "Call of Cthulhu" (cool story, never read Lovecraft before, and always assumed Cthulhu was some stupid anime character or something), I'm sitting by my computer, a storm is raging outside, and the howling wind and slapping branches are making frightening sounds and putting images in my head of creatures scraping against my house... :shock:

Yep, that's the effect the hype over this flick is having on me right now. I read the trailer synopsis on MZ's article and found it fascinating; a Blair-Witch style tease where we don't know what kind of monstrosity is attacking. We don't even know the name of the movie! Smart marketing! Unfortunately, my slow-ass dial up is preventing me from seeing the teaser. I do plan on seeing Transformers, but my redneck-ass run down movie theater probably will not show the Cloverfield trailer, but I can only hope.

In the mean time, I'm mystified by all the Ethan Haas/Slusho/WTF stuff. The image of the two girls looking scared has got me the most interested. The small glimpse of the creature in between them is really unnerving. I know everybody sees something different, but when I look at it, I see an angular face with a pretty clearly defined eye, nose and mouth (shivers).

I'm really glad to have an interesting movie to look forward to. Anticipation is half the fun, and an ingenious marketing campaign makes it all the more entertaining. All of a sudden I am reminded of when I saw the first magazine ad for The Blair Witch Project, which listed important dates in the film's "history." Laying in a bed in a friend's house, with the lamplight illuminating a small corner of the room, reading of disembowled corpses layed out in the woods, a shiver went through my spine. I get the same feeling when I read about deafening roars echoing in the streets of New York and Lady Liberty's remains raining down on the city.

HAH! Alf!

Yea, I don't understand why the girls eyes would be focused on something in front of them, but the monster would be behind them. I'm not going to say, oh it could be a reflection in a building, cause that's looking into this picture too much.

Here's the spot blown up between their heads 1000 X.

I honestly don't see it. :(

I don't think I'd go too crazy with deducing stuff from the imagery, or you'll wind up like this . :? :roll:

Hmm, I don't see Ghidorah in there at all. I know everybody sees something different, but here's what my mind's showing me:



As for two girls/one girl... yah, who cares? But why would they show a picture of one girl doubled like that? Anyway, the faces look like they belong to two different people.

...not that it matters. Anywho, I'd be thrilled if this was a Godzilla movie, but I think we can all safely assume we are going to get some completely original creation, not even Cthulhu or some other legendary creature (c'mon, nobody actually still believes this could be a Godzilla/Gamera/Cthulhu movie, do they?). In fact, I would be pleased with never finding out the creature's origins or seeing its profile fully. The less we know, the scarier it is, just like with Blair Witch.

[EDIT]: Scratch everying I said, I know what the creature is... it's Atari's Firelion!
