I just thought of something, what if the woman outside got hit by a parasite and she explodes outside and that's what shocks MEW, probly not but it would be a nice homage to the first movie
Hey all a very strange thought. When the 30 secons trailer they are showing begins u see her car spinning when it falls in ravine why do i think i cam here something growl or make noise I do know they have a monster design guy as part lf the team
Oh yeah there is definitely a roar there, it reminds me of Clover's idle roar while the news chopper is filming him in the city early in the attack, and the roar at the end of the trailer sounds like a lower pitch version of the roar he makes when the military attacks him in the street and he roars directly above Hud, which could possibly mean a more mature monster of the same species, I hope it's the same species anyway :P
Okay some thoughts for you and predictions. 1) Dan and JJ obviously had some idea what they wanted to go with this. My thoughts are those gus along with paramount decided to test the waters and see how much interest there still was for the Cloverfield name. My guess is Dan was a fan of first movie. As witnessed by his FB post i think showing two clovies on his desk 6 months ago.
2) Budget. My guess 10 to 15 million total. Obviously Valencia may have been a post nuc disaster that they decided to tie into Clovefield. Still not sure when and where this oocured. Im guessing 10 million fo rewrites reshoots and cgi. Post production was 6 to 8 months. Advertising is all over the place now as i saw the ad 4 times already on shows like xfiles chicago fire to name a few wven the oj simpson mini series. Id say 20 million for ad budget put us around 35 million which should recoup money for budget opening weekend worldwide. And yes this could easily support Monsters and stuff. Monsters 2 was around 25 million and im guessing had way more CGI then we are getting.
3.) The movie is testing the waters to see how a full on sequel will do while allowing JJ and Dan to explore the Cloverfield mythos in a diff way. Having a bold futura worker be the subject of this one and maybe tying in the chimpanz111 disater at the end of movie one. Possibly JJ had this in mind all along as a small reintroduction of this said universe with eyes on a big payoff down the road.
4.) Im wondering if although not mentioned Drew and Matt had some input and insight into where this is going since they were heavily involved with the first one. My guess is they did.
5.) Im thinking that if they did show some test wcreenings it was only scenes from the original script to see where they were at. Would be easy to edit ir down or done on purpose to mislead everyone.
6.) Kurt Kapstein is the monster guy involved so we will get something. I dont think JJ would toy with this as this was his baby with drew and Matt and i do t think theyd ruin this for their fans.
7.) Im thinking the plan was once this came into play was do this cool eeery exciting movie to set up a full on sequel which i think is already in the works with Paramounts blessing. The cellar alone scenes seem way cool. The trailers are the best ive seen in a long time and as JJ doesnt reveal alot in trailers interesting to see where this goes and how much weve seen. Remember mst Godzilla movies only have godzilla in them for 5 to 15 minutes at most.
8.) Thinking 150 to 200 million worldwise which means it makes big money again.
9) love all the crasy stuff and research they do at Reddit but i only post here out of loyalty to this being the first place and this is like long lost family. Thanks Dennis.
10) one thing on reddit and other sites that will hopefully be made.clear with Howards involvement in this movie is that it was a satellite not an alien at the end of the first movie. Amazed how many people still get that wrong as well as 2 clovies
11) I was told this movie took place in Wisconsin with Milwaukee being way layed at the end. Now i have no clue. Even with almoat no monsters this looks like a great movie.
12) Finally going to see film March 10th 7pm Southern Ma with 4 freinds who all went to original film. We havent all hung since and figure it would be a cool reuinion.
13) One last thought i wonder if this film will outdo Godzilla Resurgence at Box Office and possibly approach Pacific Rim if released in China
Time will tell interested to see how much of this speculation is on the money or if im completely off, but my guess is we get 3 weeks before we find out.
One last thing i dont expect much more out of the ARG. Think this will continue after the movie leading us into a more direct sequal.
I hope you are right buddy... Regardless of how this movie came to be, if it does well in the box office then we can expect JJ and Paramount to do more!
If anyone wants to hear it i have a unique idea how the Soviets tie into this and it also involves arg for the first movie. This scenario dawned on me on the way to work
The woman is the neighbor LOL listed on IMdb. Hey i have a question saw a post in reddit that said the explosions were done dec2 thru the 4th. Were there explosions in the cellar Script. If not then this.was.decided to be a Cloverfield project a little earlier them everyone expected.
Did anyone notice next yr Abrams Reeves and Burk are producing a film together acript and details unnamed. What if we are being set up for Clovie 2. Could even be in production now hell they kept this private.
Oh and by the way an interesting tidbit. The helicopter scene after crash with Clovie was not shot in central park. It was shot in valencia or a park named Valencia with blue screen made to look like Central Park. Kind of a reach or major coincidence
Another interesting tidbit Bryan Burk is executive producer havent heard his name mentioned yet and Kurt Pastein have been onboard aince the beginning. More food for thought. Now im definately wondwring if they made two movies at once. Using this as a lead in testing the waters type thing
There was a cover of the song by a band called the birthday massacre. I dunno about you, but I'd call the events of cloverfield (the first one) a massacre. Important?

ReplyDeleteI hope that's it, because if they are infected people like zombies will be very boring
Delete*bit by a parasite
ReplyDeleteRead a funny comment earlier.
ReplyDeleteThe jukebox numbers are 4813, however we only see the 4, 8 & 3 get entered.
Que the song, "there doesn't seem to be any 1 around."
Hmm. This could be important.
DeleteHaha nice catch! A visual joke perhaps?

ReplyDeleteWhat if the woman that smacks into the door is Megan? Maybe she tried to get to the bunker but didn't make it in time.
