Mathachew Veteran Posted July 28, 2007 Veteran Share Posted July 28, 2007 Here's a slowed down version. It should be more convincing the he says alive (uh-lyve), not lion (ly-uhn or ly-yun). There's nothing at the end of the word that makes a yun, yuh, ya, etc. sound.

Xero Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I think its Godzilla personally, but maybe a whole new monster too. As for it being a lion, I mean common people, he says "its alive" besides, unless Mufasa has risen from the dead I don't think its a lion. I also would have paid to see that Trailer its incredibly unique, and if the movie is shot like that, I think it will be well worth going to see just for a chance to see some unique filming, much like Sin City was. I just hope the story lives up to the hype its generating.

There's nothing at the end of the word that makes a yun, yuh, ya, etc. sound. Yeah. If you put your head to the speaker it does sound like a "V" in "Alive". But what does he mean? It's alive? Mainly..."It's". It appears that they have no idea what's going on, wouldn't you say "What the hell is that? It's huge!". In a moment of panic and confusion, Wouldn't that "It's" imply something familiar? The statue? Ghostbusters again? lol Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/571661-jj-abrams-cloverfield-questions/page/6/#findComment-588737040 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2687 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I heard lion. Can't you all see what this is? ...IT'S JESUS....He's back, And with a vengeance. It clearly explains the fireballs (Jesus is known to shoot fireballs from his eyes), The lion mentioning (Jesus is a shape shifter...*DUH*), and the head of the statute of liberty flying off (Jesus has super strength). :D We just have to wait for another trailer or more details to know more. Statue of Liberty VS. Jesus Christ statue. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/571661-jj-abrams-cloverfield-questions/page/6/#findComment-588737049 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad-ch1ck3n Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 That can't be the REAL Statue of Liberty head in the image and trailer, could it? It looks much to small. We've already thrown out the Godzilla idea and have noted that it most likely isn't due to the ownership of the rights. I think it's another King Kong movie :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/571661-jj-abrams-cloverfield-questions/page/6/#findComment-588737127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lqv2015 Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 That disassemble head of the Statue of Liberty isn't proportionary right. A bit small.

Bawx Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I read the head you see is not supposed to be the actual Statues head. It was a smaller head on a different building, kind of like supposed to lure you in, or for decoration. Kind of like when you see giant blow up balloons tied down at car dealerships.

Rappy Veteran Posted July 28, 2007 Veteran Share Posted July 28, 2007 When you look at the statue here you can see its been ripped from under the neck so something's grabbed it that has claws...that's my assumption? Godzilla would be a good guess but I couldn't see Abram's getting the rights to it so who knows!!!

Bawx Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 If that is so, then why is the real SoL's head blown off shown in the poster? True. But in the video, the head doesn't seem to fly that far. And it bounces over the water, over all those buildings in the way, and lands perfectly on the street and stops? It's probably for effect, where else would it land, but it just doesn't make sense.

mad-ch1ck3n Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Well, now! I totally missed that poster. It is official, yes? If so, then I suppose the SoL head from the Trailer could be the real thing. Still, there are a lot of questions. How could that SoL head have been thrown that far and landed on the street so precisely? Why does it look only a tad bigger than the cars next to it? In the trailer, you see an explosion in the distance and then very shortly after, the SoL head comes flying in. Are there two monsters? How can the thing be in two places at once? Maybe it isn't... Damn you, J.J. Abrams! So much awesomeness and yet we get absolutely nothing that tells us what kind of awesomeness it is and where the awesomeness comes from! Oh, and I guess the King Kong idea is out. Abrams insiunated that this is a completely new and original monster. All I can think of is that it either comes from the ocean or is able to travel quickly in water and submerge itself.
