jackwanders Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Come on...this doesn't seem like a Godzilla movie at all. The Godzilla 'mythos' has never included alien languages, or prophets who have told of future wars, etc, etc. This looks to be a lot bigger than just a Godzilla movie. And I don't think anyone will know WHAT it is until Abrams decides to tell us.

AltecXP Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Did anyone else hear the line: "I saw it, it's a Lion its HUGE!" It has sparked people thinking that it is a trailor for Voltron (also scheduled for 2008) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/571661-jj-abrams-cloverfield-questions/page/2/#findComment-588683571 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackwanders Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) So now it seems that the Ethan Haas websites have nothing to do with Cloverfield (aka Slusho): http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/07/09/jj-abr...th-cloverfield/ The only official sites connected to the movie, according to Abrams, are http://www.1-18-08.com and http://www.slusho.jp The slusho link is confirmed via the trailer, as the guy who suggests going to the roof is wearing a slusho t-shirt. The only solid connection between the Ethan Haas websites and Cloverfield is an IMDB thread started by 'MY_NAME_IS_VAN'. However, after some time, this user admitted that he was just screwing around, and is not affiliated with either the Ethan Haas websites or the Cloverfield movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1060277/board/thread/79202994 Edited July 10, 2007 by Jack31081 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/571661-jj-abrams-cloverfield-questions/page/2/#findComment-588690292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentaborane Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) FACT 1: It is not Godzilla The trailer and the website are owned by Paramount - which does not have the rights to Godzilla. Toho, which does own the rights to Godzilla, confirmed (in 2004) that Godzilla would not return until 2013. FACT 2: It is not Voltron A movie based on Voltron is already being made by different people - http://imdb.com/title/tt0472429/ POSSIBILITY: Cthulu is plausible Seeing as the code name for the movie is currently "Cloverfield," rearranging "Clover" results in "Lovecr." H.P. Lovecraft (author) was the creator of Cthulu.

jackwanders Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 The reason behind the Cloverfield codename has already been found. Cloverfield is a street near the HQ for Abrams' production company, Bad Robot. The Cthulu connections are a sole result of the mistaken link between the Ethan Haas websites and Cloverfield. This link has been debunked by Abrams himself, in a letter to AICN. Right now, all we know is: - monster in NYC - somehow involves 'Slusho', a slurpee-like drink containing an unidentified ingredient discovered frozen on the ocean floor by a scientist Current rumors include the use of 'The Parasite' by crew members to refer to the monster, and that 'the parasite' originated in the substance found in the ocean that was later added to the 'Slusho' product. This is all we know about what the movie IS. As far as what it IS NOT, PlatinumOxide already covered why it's not a Godzilla or Voltron movie. As for wild speculation, a few people have seen that the facts we have could be fit to strongly resemble the plot of the videogame, 'Rampage: Total Destruction', a game in which people drink a tainted soda created by scientists and turn into gigantic monsters that destroy cities.

jackwanders Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 it could be a Macross movie? you're the one that jumped into a transformers thread and went on about macross being so much better, aren't you? If Abrams is going to adapt an existing property for the big screen, I doubt it'd be something as obscure as Macross. It'd either be something with a large established fan base (in the U.S.), or something original.
