11808

[Sared]

I know a lot of you watch Lost, so let the speculation be posted.

At first, I thought it was going to be another american Godzilla, but then I heard that the Japanese creator was so upset with our Godzilla that he banned us from ever making another Godzilla movie.  I actually saw a clip of one of their Godzilla movies where the original Godzilla takes out the American Godzilla in like less than 10 seconds. ROFL.

But anyways, from what I've read, the crew refers to the monster as the "parasite", i believe it was.  And everyone, including the studio is being very hush-hush.  Saw the trailer when I went to see Transformers.

EDIT: I also find it interesting that someone yells "They saw it! It's a lion! It's huge!"  Or does it say, "They saw it! It's alive! It's huge!"? Definitely sounds more like lion, than alive.  And they keep saying "What kind of animal sounds like that?".  A friend speculated that it was a trailer for the new Voltron movie at first, based on the "lion" part.  Definitely not Voltron, though.

Nice puzzle... I got hung up on the 4th one and had to cheat a bit, but the others are doable.

Also this weird website here... use to be only two pictures... they keep adding more.

If you watch the move very slowly

Abrahms has said that Ethan Haas has nothing to do with his movie. I believe it was discovered that it's actually connected with a new video game in development.

Abrahms has said that Ethan Haas has nothing to do with his movie. I believe it was discovered that it's actually connected with a new video game in development.

The game they think it's associated with is called "Alpha Omega"

I finished the ethan haas puzzles last night, and it definitely is not some piece-meal fan site.  

View the source of the ethan haas site, it has an interesting little quip.  

Whether this is for cloverfield or for the game, who's to say but my money is on the game.

Yeah I kinda wish the ethan haas sites were connected though, also the part about abrams denying the sites, he also denied the whole LOST ARG thing too. Also I was reading up on it yesterday and some people had this big thing about the table top RPG thing actually just being part of the game and not a real company. The reason why I personally think Ethan Haas is part of 11808 is because everytime someone put one of the Van vids on youtube Paramount pictures took them down for copyright reasons.

A new picture has been added to the mix on the 1-18-08 website.  Plus I found something with the pictures just now.  you can click on the pictures and drag them around the screen, but now if you move back and forth real fast while having clicked on the picture you can get it to flip over.  There's a message on the new photo.

Message on a previous one as well  

[Tbone]

Good find. Messages seem to be pointless at the moment.

In the Trailer there's apparently a guy with a "slusho" softdrink logo on his t-shirt.

Here is the website for that company:   http://www.slusho.jp/

Read the history of the company, should be a bit thought provoking to say the least.

[Sared]

Good catch on the Company History there. The store seems legit though.

[Tbone]

It's a fictional drink that was originated on Abrahms' show Alias.

[Tecknik]

Am I missing something in the History? I don't get it.

EDIT: Everyone has seen the Wiki, right?

For the film, Abrams conceived of a new monster after he and his son visited a toy store in Japan that had Godzilla toys.

Plot speculation

Before details of the film were released, the media reported numerous possibilities about what the film would be about. USA Today reported the possibilities of the film being based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft, a live-action adaptation of Voltron, a new film about Godzilla, or a spin-off of the TV show Lost.[6] The Star Ledger also reported the possibility of the film being based on Lovecraft lore or Godzilla.[7] The Guardian also reported the possibility of a Lost spin-off,[8] while Time Out reported that the film was about an alien called The Parasite.[9] IGN also backed the possibility of the same premise, with the film titled The Parasite.[10] However, Entertainment Weekly reported that the film would not be about a parasite or a colossal Asian robot such as Voltron.[2] One report asserts that the film will not be "a sequel or a remake" of any previous motion picture.[11]

Viral websites

Puzzle websites containing Lovecraftian elements, such as one based on Ethan Haas Was Right, were originally reported to be connected to the film.[6][8] However, on July 9, 2007, producer J. J. Abrams stated that, while a number of websites were being developed to market the film, the only official site that had been found was 1-18-08.com.[12] Kirk Montgomery of Colorado's 9NEWS reported an inside source's claim that the website Slusho.jp "has lots of clues", though this has not been officially confirmed as a marketing campaign website.[11] The Washington Post also reported, "Records showed that the Slusho Web site was registered before the trailer aired, indicating that the site almost had to be official."[13]
