Mostly concerning the Alternate Reality Game surrounding it (similiar to but more awesome then the Sector Seven one, and less awesome then the one for The Dark Knight). With the movie coming near so does it's conclusion, and they are building up the backstory quite nicely. Hope you don't mind that I stole this post from your DM.Net thread, Fwiff. And some things that Fwiffo missed, posted in the same Donmurphy.Net thread. Finally, a special Wiki on it from the Unfiction.Com and Despoiler guys. http://cloverfield.despoiler.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
So are we to assume that the creature is responsible for sinking that platform? Monsters roar as the debris flies, awesome! Though how are they hearing it when it's underwater? With how quickly the people were evacuating, seems to me that they knew it would happen? I love the hype for this movie, I just hope the movie itself isnt a complete suckfest. EDIT: In the third youtube link, at 1:42 - 1:46/7 you can see something big in the water moving away from the sinking platform at a fair pace. Is it debris, the monster? I wonder.
Also in the third video when its showing the clip from the helicopter at the start you can see gunfire into the water all around the rig.... Edit:-You can see "something" moving away from it better in the 2nd youtube video about :40secs in...
that backstory reminds me of slurm soda from futurama. Everyone loved it but it came from the queen alien's butt. Cool videos, though, and I am excited to see this movie. Wonder still if it has anything to do with HG Lovecraft?
Nope, sorry. Completely original monster. Also, there could be something in the water, but it's probably just random smoke.
Slusho is giving me vibes of "The Stuff." Not a big theater-goer, and this just hasn't grabbed me yet. Plus I feel like by the time it comes out on DVD, the suprise elements of it will probably have been ruined for me, and I suspect that's gonna be a big part of enjoying the movie.
I watched the third video, and really didn't see any monster or anything at that mark. Just looked like smoke/debris.
Two more vids. One is an English version of the news broadcast, and the other is quite possible Jamie sealing her fate. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=290_1199695318 http://www.jamieandteddy.com/video8.mov Also, you have the chance to be at the infamous party! http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23229
