Was Teddy Hanssen in Cloverfield? Some people think this man on the Brooklyn Bridge looks like Teddy Hanssen. I flipped the screen shots so you can compare them to the Missing Teddy Hanssen poster on the left.WDYT? They are kinda similar, I guess, but I don't think they are the same person.
Here is the scene from the movie so you can see for yourself.
* Thanks to Eddy at TagBlog where I first saw this!
Oh my god! What is Teddy doing in NYC? I though he mysteriously disappeared on the Chuai Station, months before the attack on NYC? What the hell is going on? The ARG is getting strange. Wow, just wow... O.o
ReplyDeletePurely on the basis of plot speculation, I doubt it's Teddy. Otherwise, it looks remarkably like the photo. Same nose, eyes, even the ears are the same. I dunno, it could be the same actor. Maybe it (somehow) is Teddy. But like I said, I doubt it based on plot speculation.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. I'm sure Marlena would have noticed, not to mention there's no way they'd forget his star shaped birth mark, especially with the way Alyse brought it up. I dont think it's him.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, the birth mark is on the his left cheek. In Cloverfield, we only see his Right cheek... the photos that dennis has up are mirrored image so we are in fact seeing his right cheek and not his left.
ReplyDeleteOver-analysis or clever film-making? YOU decide!
It seems very very unlikely that it's not Teddy. JJ wouldn't recycle an actor and not know it, and you can see quite clearly in the video that it's not just a single-frame similarity, he looks like the Teddy picture throughout. I'd say I'm about 90% sure it's Teddy. After all, what's the basis for saying it's not? We had images of Jamie before the movie and everyone immediately believes that it is Jamie on the couch, yet no one speaks to her. Same thing here.
ReplyDeleteNot trying to fuel false rumors, but if this does end up tying in, or being true, maybe he really did come back for Jamie, and this stuff ended up going down. Picture that, coming back to save things with the girl who is basically giving up on you just to get pummeled by this... Or maybe he knew about it?
ReplyDeletePlus, if you notice the way he turns in the video, it's not the side that shows a dark spot that I assume is the birthmark.
ReplyDeleteThe two out of three images are reversed. That's why you can't see the star-shaped birthmark because Dennis flipped the images to one side to get a better angle to compare the shots. So Teddy is actually looking to the left, not the right -- out to where the Tagruato tanker is burning. That's why you can't see his birthmark.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is - he could have been anywhere within a - what, mile radius of the bride to be there. That's quite a large area.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember - Ganu was in New York on the day of the attack. TIDO attacked him. Could they have attacked him because they were holding Teddy. That'd explain the dirt and grime - the monster hasn't gotten that far into the city yet.
I think it'd make sense to be him. It'd explain the appearance of all this stuff around the DVD release - probably Teddy.
well, the birthmark is on the left side of his face, and in the vid we see the right side, so u cant use the star as a way to prove its not him.
ReplyDeletewouldnt make sense if it was him though, probably just a cameo.
i don't think it's him. his face looks slightly rounder to me, and he's missing the birthmark on his cheek.
ReplyDeletesure looks like him, though.
Maybe, if it's Teddy, he's in New York looking for Jamie.
ReplyDeleteIn all likelihood, Teddy is either still being held hostage somewhere, Tidowave has done something with him, or he's dead. I don't think that's him in the video.
ReplyDeleteThis is based on what we know of the plot already.
Heh, you guys are forgetting one very important thing. Teddy works for TIDOwave, right? The webmaster at the TIDOwave site (Randy, I presume) tells his sister to stop looking for him. So that either means he's dead or still held in captivity. But no one knows except...well, whoever from Tagruato took him hostage. But then why would someone from TIDOwave tell her to stop looking. Unless that message was a hacked one from Tagruato? There are lots of things to consider. But in the end, it may very well have been an extra that serves no purpose.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I noticed was how rushed he seemed. Unlike the other pedestrians who were standing around looking at the burning Tagruato oil tanker and the helicopter scoping the damaged Statue of Liberty, Teddy just glanced to the horizon, peered at HUD and then seemed to rush out of the way. He could very well have been going to look for Jamie. Either that or Teddy noticed someone from the crowd and tried to get out as soon as possible. Or like every other person in NYC at the time, just didn't want to be where he was considering there was a freakin' monster trashing the city just now.
I darkened the b&w picture and based on the ears (oval and pointing at an angle, it does seem like its the same person

That is the same man. It just is. Whether that was meant as a cameo, or whether it is part of the plot almost doesn't matter. They'll probably make it part of the plot now if it wasn't before. JJ and that crew are all about the story folding back in on itself, with connections and twists all over. But for sure, that is the same person in each picture.
ReplyDeleteThats what I think, anyway.
And we all know JJ or someone working for him is watching this site like a Hawk. This site is like the 5th result on google.
