Great, another Z-grade Lovecraft film with a plot vaguely referencing the stories every half hour or so and acting that would make Mark Hamill ashamed.

The only Lovecraft movie that has any semblance of potential is At the Mountains of Madness by Guillermo del Toro.

I discovered that that site is a fan site and not real a while ago.

I saw clues too though, but they are apparantly fake.

That Ethan Haas thing is pretty awesome. Reminds me a lot of Myst.

It'll be better when Pierce Brosnan's head on a stick attached to the top of a massive ****ing robot marches across the frame carrying a flag with the numbers from Lost in one hand and carrying the torch from the statue of liberty in the other.

With frickin' laser beams attached to Pierce's head.

:awesome:

when looking at the source code for http://www.parasitemovie.com/ you find the site is actually hosted at http://www.sledriding.com/cloverfield.html ...try to figure that one out,

for the life of me I couldn't figure out what http://www.sledriding.com/ has to do with the movie...

:P the site owner's name is Steve(n) King, :P maybe this movie is based on a Steven King novel.

i know Abrams is tied to the dark tower but the trailer makes no sense in that regard.

Yeeesireee: some weaselly fellows got an early script to review. Also, del Toro claims some of the maquettes "are so beautiful, you will be crying and jerking yourself off in a corner at the same time", which is neat.

Does it have anything to do with interspecies erotica?

Some poster at another forum found out some interesting information.

[quote=evaguy at GameFAQs]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_18

Decided to check out the date on a whim and found some interesting references. Notably:

512 - Anastasius Balkin Zeno is brutally murdered after predicting the Apocalypse will occur on this date in 2008.
1916 - A 611 gram chondrite type meteorite struck a house near the village of Baxter in Stone County, Missouri.
1939 - Louis Armstrong first LP recording of "Jeepers Creepers" (after one movie and one radio version).
1964 - Plans are revealed for the World Trade Center in New York City.
1994 - The Cando event, a possible bolide impact in Cando, Spain. Witnesses claim to have seen a fireball in the sky lasting for almost one minute.
2000 - The strange Tagish Lake meteorite impacted the Earth.
2007 - The strongest storm in the UK for 17 years kills 14 people, Germany sees the worst storm since 1999 with 13 deaths. Hurricane Kyrill, caused at least 44 deaths across 20 countries in Western Europe. Other losses include the Container Ship MSC Napoli destroyed by the storm of the coast of Devon, England.

The Cando event is itself related to a similar incident, albeit on a far larger scale, that is described here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_Event

For those too lazy to click a link, the last one describes an incident in Russia in 1908 involving an asteroid impacting the earth, causing an explosion comparable to about 20 tons of TNT, which would be 1000 times greater than the atomic bomb at Hiroshima. More important though, is this line:

The Tunguska event is the largest impact event in recent history. An explosion of this magnitude had the potential to devastate large metropolitan areas should it occur over a large city.

I'm starting to think this is going to be an alien invasion type thing. Pure and utter speculation of course, but we never do see what causes that massive explosion shown in the trailer.

There's also that whole reference to an apocalypse prophecy to consider.

- The pictures on the 1-18-08 site rotate if you leave them alone for a while. I don't have the slightest idea what this means, but it is pretty creepy in a way.
- Found a few possible new sites:
[url]www.35minutes.com[/url] - Number is taken from the time interval given on the two pictures.
[url]www.1201am.com[/url] - Time stamp from the drinking picture. Could be completely unrelated to Cloverfield though, as a whois lookup referenced Earthlink.

I think the movie will be more an apocalypse style movie. Considering the budget is only $30 million or $65 million, you can't do too much in special effects. So either there will be a monster who will always remain behind the camera, or there will be no monsters at all.

So the monster is the cameraman? :tinfoil:

completed the puzzles on ethanwasright.com. at the end, you get to sign up for some special code that will be sent to your email on aug 1.

Yup. I can't wait.

Steve King on the tossing toys forum keeps mentioning that more info will be released on August 1st. People have already found out that he's part of it and have gotten him to release some hints.

Guess that means Ethan Haas might very well be part of this movie. "Stars rained from the sky" sounds pretty similar to what happens in the trailer.
