Yeah, I started a thread on those like on friday, i was kinda pissed when i read his letter earlier today.
So, has everyone found the video pertaining to Ethan Haas on the "Was Right" site? Go there, and click the panels that light up, in the order they lit up, without getting one wrong. A video pops up explaining that Ethan Haas was someone who had a vision of the future. "Many people died," it says. It said you need to get more people to visit by August first or something, and then I'm stuck there. I believe the Ethan Haas sites are both pertaining to the video. I believe the "Right" site more than the "Wrong." But if you look at the "Right site", there is a decryption code at the top, and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with the "Wrong" site. On the "wrong" site, it talks about the Gods fighting. Now, there has to be at least two factions to make a fight, so the Godzilla vs. King Kong thing could be true. (I thought Godzilla at first...plus, the flames shooting out) These two factions could also be represented by the "Wrong" and the "Right", as those could be the two groups fighting - Those that believe Ethan Haas, and those that don't. WOW, I got way too into this.
Abrams has stated the 1-18-08 site is the only official site and the Haas site has nothing to do with his movie.
yep. at the beginning of the trailer the party got interrupted by an "earthquake". they turned on the tv to a news anchor reporting the incident. in the lower left corner of the news it had the temperature at 63 degrees. new york at 63 degrees in the beginning of january in the middle of the night? no way. king kong vs. godzilla came out in 1963. so either that or a gozilla remake. there ya go. solved. posted it on ign under tigercranestyle. makes sense... right?
I think you nailed it. I thought Godzilla vs.??? - My wife did as well. I also thought This trailer is probably as good as it gets. Surely they can best the 2000 effort that Sony threw together with Matt Broderick?????
No, I don't think he nailed it. Either way, this website is part of the viral campaign: The website SlashFilm.com has confirmed that the website Slusho.jp is part of the viral campaign. One of the characters in the Cloverfield trailer (and 1-18-08.com website) wears a Slusho t-shirt with the same logo featured on the slusho.jp website. [6] The domain was registered a week before the trailer was released publicly. A post on Ain't It Cool News shed more light on the project, saying it involved an alien/monster called "The Parasite" and the movie is filmed with handheld cameras.[4]
well, i guess it's not a remake of anything..sigh. the guy from "ain't it cool news" responded back. Drew McWeeny <moriartyaicn@yahoo.com> to me show details 4:51 am (4 hours ago) It's really, really, really, really, really not GODZILLA or a remake of something you've already seen. Really.

Not for $30 million, they can't. With that low of a budget there's no way they could make a Godzilla movie (or Godzilla vs. King Kong, for that matter) unless, of course, they went back to the "man wearing rubber Godzilla suit" formula.
This is quasi-true. A good movie can be made with creative dialog, interesting characters, a fascinating storyline, unique cinematography, and many other qualities that are not expensive. But... ... for a sci-fi movie that would require extensive special effects, there's no way they could make a Godzilla movie for $30 million or less.
another site has popped up. here. if you slow down the trailer enough, you can see the license plate number of the car that got owned by the statue of liberty head. turned out that the plate is a website.
Tongues wag over mystery film trailer No-name movie may be part of marketing ploy By ERIC HARRISON Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle As monster-movie titles go, Cloverfield isn't very exciting, but a clever marketing campaign for a movie with that working title has had movie geeks tittering and scouring the Internet for clues since a mysterious trailer popped up last week. The opening of Transformers marked the trailer's debut. It briefly surfaced online, but Paramount quickly had it yanked from the Web, which only fed the chatter. (It went up again Tuesday, this time officially. But even after seing the trailer, people aren't sure what the movie is about. Wild speculation, a sly viral marketing campaign and even bogus Cloverfield-related sites have only increased interest in the movie, which is scheduled for release in January. Little is certain except that it concerns a fearsome attack on New York City and the producer is J.J. Abrams, the creator of Lost, who seems to be bringing the TV show's enigmatic sensibility to the movie screen. The trailer shows young New Yorkers having a good time at a going-away party when a loud noise and tremors send them scurrying to the roof, where they watch an explosion in the distance in lower Manhattan. As flaming projectiles rain from the sky, startled people flee to the street in time to see a giant object land and roll like a bowling ball, squashing and scattering cars. It is the Statue of Liberty's head. The trailer gives the movie's release date — Jan. 18, 2008 — but no title. The whole thing is shot with a shaky hand-held camera, as if one of the party goers is using a camcorder, leading the Hollywood Reporter to describe the scene as "Armageddon meets The Blair Witch Project." The studio is being so secretive, the magazine said, that the movie's relatively unknown actors were hired without having the opportunity to first see the script. An inquiry to Paramount yielded nothing. The secretiveness is feeding the online frenzy for information. Is it a Godzilla movie? An adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft novel, Call of Cthulhu? One theory is that the film is related to Lost, Abrams' addictive, complex series that leaves loyal viewers with endless questions and no answers in sight. The film's director (Matt Reeves) and writer (Drew Goddard) previously worked on Abrams-created TV shows, including Lost, Alias and Felicity. Clues about the movie seem to be scattered on a handful of Web sites but, in his only official statement about the movie — made in an e-mail to the popular Austin-based fan site Ain't It Cool — Abrams says the Web sites that have inspired most of the talk are bogus. The movie's real viral marketing campaign, he implies, still lies undiscovered. "For what it's worth, the only site of ours that people have even found is the 1-18-08.com site," he says. "The others ... have nothing to do with us." Inventive Internet marketing campaigns are nothing new — DreamWorks and Warner Bros. created a clever, intricate web of fake Web sites to promote A.I. Artificial Intelligence in 2001 — but few efforts have excited movie geeks as much as the campaign for the Cloverfield project. Here is a partial guide (both real and bogus) to what's known to be online: • www.1-18-08.com — It's a site that does little more than tease. Last week it had one image, a close-up of two people looking fearfully up at something. Written at the bottom in small type is "1-18-2008 12:36A." Since then a second image has been added: a shot taken 35 minutes earlier of friends enjoying themselves at the party. You can move the photos around with your cursor. • www.ethanhaaswasright.com — This is where the fun (and the deception) begins. The site features a sphere with hieroglyphics on it that sits before a city skyline. The words "Ethan Haas Was Right" is written across the night sky, which now and then is riven by lightning. Explore, and if you're patient or smart enough, you'll find five puzzles embedded on the page. After solving each puzzle, you'll be treated to a grainy videotaped segment that supposedly offers clues to the meaning of it all. At least that's what we understand. We're neither smart nor patient enough to solve more than one puzzle. Heck, we couldn't even find most of them. Just as well: This seems to be the creation of someone trying to piggyback on Cloverfield's notoriety. • www.ethanhaaswaswrong.com — This used to be a blog that attacked Abrams and denounced the Ethan Haas Was Right site as "a viral marketing creation" for Cloverfield. The blog, of course, also was a bit of viral marketing but apparently not for the movie: It has been replaced with an online shop selling T-shirts. Right or wrong, Ethan Haas seems to be a phony. eric.harrison@chron.com http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/entertainment/4964429.html
if you hit a star on ethanhaaswasright.com it auto send from you email an email to van@ethanhaaswasright.com w/ the subject I'm one of you...HELP ME! and it comes back saying this: I think I’m safe, for now. Wherever I go it isn’t long before they find me. It seems The Mezin are connected to every aspect of humanity, from culture and religion to our most advanced technology I have to be more careful contacting all of you. When I began I thought I could safely speak about his writings and perhaps save us all... but now it seems I will have to find a more subtle way to share his visions. If this is the first message you have received from me do not give up hope! There are others that have gone before you, the way has been found, you only need to search and you will find the answers you seek. We will all have a role to play. We are getting stronger, our voices will be heard! I have more of Haas’s writings, once I find a secure way to transmit them I will leave you clues to find them. The more I read the more I realize Haas was right………
New Picture is up on the Official Website. Just some people walking in light. http://www.1-18-08.com/ BTW Romans 1:18 - "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness" Found that on Wikipedia Also says that it could be multiple monsters sent from heaven to destroy humanity.
I heard that the whole movie is going to be from the handheld camera. I really hope that turns out to be false, cause that would suck.
