The Cloverfield Monster is...

Hmmm... 1-18-08 News revealed this weekend that a source on the Cloverfield movie set told him 'Slusho is People.' That made me reconsider my previous stance that the monster may be the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. (see proof here)

Maybe the monster is something more down to earth, more humanoid than some sea dragon or mutant whale. For that older generation you might remember a flick called "Soylent Green" staring Charlton Heston. In a crappy, near-future the source of food that many rely on is Soylent Green. The end result (Soylent Green spoiler alert) is that the food is made from people.

That little factoid and the image of the Statue of Liberty got me thinking of what power would be strong enough to conquer New York. Remember the Statue of Liberty scene from the original 'Planet of the Apes?'

Only one creature that powerful could withstand the forces to create that reality. Something with ties to Soylent Green and Lady Liberty. Yes, it's the only man strong enough to eat people, conquer a world of apes, and play Moses...it's Charlton Heston himself !!!

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, that's my nutty rant for the week. Thanks for playing along and I hope you had a laugh. Remember, it's just a movie but that doesn't mean we can't have fun with it.

Another Fake 'Cloverfield' Site Folds Up

1.18.08 Blog (formerly the 'Untitled JJ Abrams' Blog) noticed this little update. Remember the license plate site for the Jeep in the trailer called ABZ-3293 ?

Well, it was kind of a fun site that just posted a message that a family trinket was in the Jeep destroyed by Lady Liberty. It allowed posts and after 600 comments the guys called THEMSELVES out (here) and told the world they were just having fun and it got out of control.

It was fun while it lasted...

Also, for those of you that might not know already(or just don't want to admit) the Ethan Hass tie-in was just a video game that their producers, in my eye, were using the 'Cloverfield' momentum for their own gain.

In the beginning a few blogs were leaked out with the Ethan Hass/Cloverfield tie-in. It was called out by someone (I don't remember who made the finding offhand) for being a video game called Alpha Omega. They have officially changed the Ethan Hass stuff over to the game now. Guess they milked 'Cloverfield' for all they could get.

If I remember right, and maybe someone can back me up on this, they stuck 'Cloverfield' tags in their blogs to get the 'Cloverfield' traffic or something like that. I'll have to look into that. Anyway, stick a fork in it - Ethan Hass is now officially out of the game.

Statue Of Liberty Movie Posters

The 'Cloverfield' movie is not the first time the Statue of Liberty has been used for disaster movies. As Eugene Taylor points out, another poster featured the head of Lady Liberty that you might remember.

John Carpenter's 'Escape from New York'

Also, a few more over the years:

The Original 'Planet of the Apes'

'The Day After Tomorrow'

Supergirl - Oh! The humanity !!

Cloverfield Monster Revealed?

It has been an interesting day for 'Cloverfield' news. Brad at 1-18-08 News had posted earlier today a nice little article about a source on the movie set who leaked him and 2 other bloggers information about the 'Cloverfield' and its origins (see "Slusho is people' for more). Well, it seems like his source has sent him more info by claiming 2 of those other sites are now shut down.

Here's Brad's latest post:

Cloverfieldmonster.com and 11808news.com (Not my site of course) are gone! These were two websites that Remedios submitted his info to just as he did with me. The two sites told him that they were gonna use his info and now…They no longer exist. And these two sites were working yesterday.

Remedios mentioned this to me regarding 11808news.com:

“…And after a quick question i asked a friend it is owned by the same man who owns the Ny daily news Mort Zuckerman who has infact provided 5 million+ to fund 1-18-08. Very interesting…“

What’s going on? Is Paramount trying to shut Remedios up from leaking this plot? It appears as if the sites were spyware’d or D’DOs’d. Not entirely sure.

Hopefully this doesn’t happen with us.

Something strange is really going on…Have you begun to notice?

Are you starting to believe me now?

This is the previous post that spurred the attention of many:

Again, there’s doubt saying that the source who has confirmed my findings isn’t authentic. “Remedios” has given me permission to release this email to you. One finding I wanted to clarify in the video was that the “Creature’s face” was my own discovery and not “Remedios.” His fact was that the creature was rising up from the explosion, but he didn’t mention about a face, again that was my finding. One thing is certain, the creature is rising from the ground.

Anyway, here is “Remedios” public email that you can see for yourself:

Hello Brad,

The only proof I can give you without revealing myself(again the contract is supremely strict, hence why it is called a gag-order), I work alongside Shane Buttle and John Campbell. Out of the seven headmaster’s i sent this info to 3 acknowledged them(including yourself) and two were immediately shutdown by an unknown source after
receiving this info by a certain “spy ware entity”. Luckily enough i went to check on your site to see if you had fallen but amazingly enough your video post was not removed. After reading your post I am also sorry your fans did not respond well. Granted many of my tips were almost completely confirmed. But I mainly wanted you to focus on my last hint.

To all of the headmasters of your sites, try reviewing your history of not just folklore and mythology but science where every monster movie is created.(see Below)
> >
> > Sargasso Sea->Bermuda triangle->”graveyard of the ships”-birth of
> >
research pertaining to Metagenomics or Ecogenomics-> productivity of
>
> Molecular cloning.

Follow this and a corrective theory should follow. I am still human and love to see the curiosity in people flourish after given a RIGHT clue. Especially the end of that diagram in molecular cloning and everything previous. To any film there is a background story to a human or monster, especially if they may be one in the same.
And to clarify something. It did rise up but I never said that there was a face.

Think. Has any theory of smoke or fire or “I saw this in that” ever really be true to any trailer or type of commercial sponsoring. No, and it won’t start now. There is no monster in this trailer.

I know for an anonymous source, I am awfully befriending in releasing info. But considering after my rampage of info release yesterday and no repercussions this morning, I feel my identity is safe as long as it is not released. I might be filming the next few days but to avoid heat on your part, you can post this email on your site so if anyone gets crap it is someone unknown instead of yourself. I don’t want your credibility to suffer.

Remedios

So, there you go. Check out Brad's site tomorrow and see if he's still up and we'll know some thing's really going on.

Cloverfield Theory: "Slusho Is People?"

Brad at 1-18-08 News claims a reliable source deep within the JJ Abrams 'Cloverfield' project has sent him news on the movie that details what the monster is and where it is from.

Brad also posted some new posters he claims are from the movie (more here) that show a buried hand of a statue and a shadow of the monster over the city. I'm not gonna lie to you and say I believe these posters to be real. Just looking at the first one with the hand I can see 1/2 dozen inconsistencies.

I'm not sure what statue that hand is supposed to be of but it doesn't match Lady Liberty. Her left hand looks like this (notice no thumb) and the right hand, which the poster shows, in reality is nowhere near a match for this pose. Although I do not live in New York City (been there- great town!) I'm also not aware of any other large green statue.

Also, the city skyline is messed up. You can see where they took the image from the 'Cloverfield' poster and put it in front of another NYC skyline. They even left the helicopters in! Heck, the shadows don't even match.

I'll let you have fun with the other 2 posters. Now, watch his video he put up today about a secret source from the set of the 'Cloverfield' movie and the clues he's been given.

What is Cloverfield theories

He states he has found the complete answer to the clues of 'Cloverfield' but still uses the posters as part of the basis for this theory. Well, I enjoy Brad's site because he's having fun, like me, trying to work this mystery so I won't bust his balls on the poster thing. While I don't agree with his theories all the time he does a good job investigating the 'Cloverfield' movie.

Picture of the Cloverfield Monster from the trailer?

My quick analysis is as follows:

1. The posters are fake


2. I don't see a face in the fireball just like there's no face on Mars


3. The monster is an alien goes against the 'Monster' movie theme and enters too much into Sci-Fi. I firmly believe the monster will be of Earth origins.


4. Slusho and its deep sea ingredient is the key to the monster. Probably made from a food the monster needs or from the monster itself. Either way, harvesting the Slusho ingredient has pissed off the sea monster.


5. I like that consuming the Slusho makes the person a marked person to the monster.


6. The fireball from the Statue of Liberty is the monster rising through the bedrock and breaking gas lines and such makes sense. A fire breathing dragon/monster is a little too 'Godzilla' for my likes.

Say Cheese ! 'Cloverfield' Being Shot Right Now in NYC

There's really too much here to post individually so I'll just take the easy road and lump all the 'set' pics and vids together. In NYC there is a movie set of the 'Cloverfield' movie that's under the working title 'Cheese.'

Seems like NYC is home to some shooting for 'Cloverfield' which includes wrecking vehicles and streets lined with destruction. Here is one of 3 videos from some dude who just walked on the set with a camcorder. I won't post all his videos for the sake of my sanity so you can catch all his vids at his YouTube Profile (located here)

Next up is another set of videos from the set, mostly taken at night. These are short and to the point but give you a good idea of the movie set. Once again, you can view the entire set of videos at Dave's YouTube profile (located here)

NYC Shoot of 'Cloverfield'

NYC set of 'Cloverfield'

Movin' on. What's vids without some pics. There's a nice set of production pics taken by Dave ( I can only assume the same one as above) with some fantastic set pics that not only show the destruction but also the name of the movie shoot, which is being called 'Cheese.' Check out his Photobucket album (located here) for the entire set.
