Cloverfield 2? Is the game back on?

After my last update back in '07, I realized that there were a lot more people blogging on this subject and getting information a lot faster than me. I couldn't keep up anymore. Not with work and life, etc. I also had a 9-5 and did a lot of research and snooping from my desk. You may also like to know, I was, indeed, the VERY FIRST person to break the top secret poster image. Yep. That was me. I'd heard rumors that someone at a comic showroom had one, but there weren't any images online. I left work early, drove to the showroom and snapped a pic through a chain-link fence; all stealth-like. Within hours, the image was all over the net. Sure, it may sound like nothing now...but at the time, it was loads of fun. My little claim to fame.

Anyway, looks like the game is back on. Perhaps indicating the long awaited sequel to Cloverfield. Since September 2008, new clues are popping up and the best places to find them is: http://www.flylyf.com/aladygma-cloverfield-2/ and www.unfiction.com- I'm just starting to find them, myself.

One of the "viral" videos going around is this:



I took some screen caps and noticed a few things:




























We don't know who the girl in the video is. The shots of Times Square and the Army guys are pretty obvious, so I didn't include them. There is indeed something falling out of the sky - as you may recall in the Coney Island scene at the end of Cloverfield 1. Second, who are these people on the bus? The dude kinda looks like Teddy Hansson, but older. Furthermore, there appear to be several images in the glass - one that looks like it could be a face of something and a black shadowy thing. Finally, the girl making the video is dead.

This does indeed appear to be new clues for a Cloverfield 2. It's all speculation, but when the clues started popping up for Cloverfield 1, I was worried I was reading way too deep into things. Some yes, some no. Until we know more, it's all clues.

Meh: Audio and Various Updates

Wow. I mean wow. Like totally and utterly...wow. There is NOTHING whatsoever (and I mean nothing) going on.

The biggest news of late is that 1-18-08.com has added sound to the site. No new pictures, but audio of what the monster sounds like...cause we didn't already know, like we never heard it in the trailer we've all watched about a million times. At least it's something.

Thanks to Cloverfield News and Unfiction, we all have an sound file of the monster from 1-18-08.com

Other than that, apparently sometime last week the Slusho Happy Talk quotes were updated. I'll remind everyone that these quotes probably don't have anything to do with anything and are (more than likely) quotes from users who sent email to satoshi@slusho.jp. Someone also mentioned that the Jellyfish has been renamed "Squid".

On the 23rd, 1-18-08.com went down for a brief time and linked directly to the Paramount site. Must have been during the oh-so-exciting monster roar update.

Anything else going on?

Beasts of the Sea and Noriko Yoshida

It's been dead, quiet, silent, and still for days. The lack of updates is unreal. For weeks it felt like we were all on a roller-coaster ride and now, the ride is over and the park has closed.

That being said, I came across something today that I hadn't seen anywhere else. I'm sure everyone looked up Noriko Yoshida and came across the Kobe University site - but did anyone else notice this? This might fall into the category of "No shit Sherlock", but I digress. With nothing new coming in...if you hadn't heard it, it's news to you.

1-18-08truth.com pointed out that the Kobe site has an image (see left). The writing at the bottoms translates to "The Beasts of the Sea" - Interesting, right? I also noticed that the URL for Noriko's site has NY in it: http://ccs.cla.kobe-u.ac.jp/GenBun/ny/ny.html

Japan, New York, Beasts of the Sea? Yeah, it's all connected. I also looked at the picture of Noriko herself and there are books on the shelves behind her. One is "pissarro et la ville" another one reads "Make Trouble" - and other various text I can't read. By the way, the image of Noriko is titled ny.jpg

Does anyone think this site is connected for real? I think it really might be even though I'm sure it's already been shot down a million times. I can't help it, I'm bored.

LenaDia Wants Your Pics

In the trend of highly unimportant MySpace blog posts from cast members, LenaDia has asked that you post images of yourself and your sense of style. Apparently, she's a fledgling fashion designer working on a line of clothing. *Too bad she's going to die.

Is LenaDia just a friend or is she someone's sister/girlfriend? The URL to her MySpace page says her name is Marlena Diamond.

*I don't actually know who's going to die, I was just trying to be funny. OK? Don't get scared.

Interesting turn of events re: castings sides

Brad over at 1-18-08news.com received correspondence from someone named "LibertyGone" regarding the casting sides and the possible script lines.

The most interesting part of the correspondence was this:

However, i will admit that the movie and 1-18-08 have some similar plot lines. One important thing i can tell you is that once you find out what movie these auditions are based on, you will find tons more clues.

You can read the full post here.

Now, the big question is: Does anyone know what movie the lines are from?

Potential Script, Lines, and Juicy Bits of Info!

Someone named “Ryckless” wrote into 1-18-08news.com stating they'd gotten access to bits of the casting script for the movie. If this turns out to be legit, we've uncovered some major information here. I'm not going to give details, but will warn you this might actually be a real, honest to goodness, spoiler.

http://www.showfax.com/role_selection.cfm?l=2&t=3&p=89217

My BF asked: Are they dumb enough to put real lines in the casting sides or did they use dummy material?

Either way, interesting. Don't you think? These must be real, but it doesn't mean it's the real/true script. I'm also curious why Showfax, Inc. would leave these up after the roles had been filled.

Rage of the Gods - Possible New Viral Site *updated*

This news is still developing and this post will be updated as needed. When updated, the post-date will change so that this section is top of the list. Current consensus is that rageofthegods.com is OOG.

A users on the IMDB message board discovered a possible new viral site today. www.rageofthegods.com - There's a lot of information and speculation already, so I'm going to try and sum up:

1. There are 2 images on the site titled 27.jpg and 6.jpg - Added they are 33, Subtracted they are 21, Divided they are 4.5 - Don't think that means anything. Also: 01+18+08 = 27. 6 is a common number in the ARG "You Can't Drink Just Six" etc.

2. The rat is the Japanese/Chinese symbol for year 2008.

3. The site was created 12 days before 1-18-08.com

4. www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js is in the source code - same as slusho.jp and 1-18-08.com

5. Wikipedia Rat traits: Ruling hours: 11pm-1am, Season: Winter, Negative Traits: Controlling, resentful, manipulative, cruel, vengeful, stubborn, power-hungry, critical.

6. Rat = Cheese

7. Information on Rage of the Gods (No confirmation)

8. Same IP locaton as slusho.jp (need to confirm)

9. Website title is -- same as 1-18-08.com (Morse Code for M)

10. GenoSin on Unfiction pointed out: Wow, I'm an idiot. This is definitely OOG (Out of Game), this site was made 2 months before slusho..meaning that it couldn't have always linked to slusho.

11. Page automatically directs to slusho.jp within a few seconds - to shop this, hit ESC or click the Stop button on your browser.

12. The address in the Whois is for a Japanese restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ: Hang on Sushi

13. Set-up through GoDaddy.com allows private registration - No telling who owns the site.

14. Unfiction is labeling the site OOG (Out of Game).

15. Mabus posted in the comments section that the cancel code box is a dead text box. Meaning, it doesn't actually do anything: Also the source code reveals the "cancel code" is simply an input box with nothing it inputs to.. meaning its just a box to type characters in but doesn't actually do anything: input name="textfield" class="style3" size="6" maxlength="6" type="text". I have limited knowledge on text input boxes, but there should be a "submit" action or something.

16. Mabus also pointed out: and one of the meta tags is a google sitemaps metatag. meta name="verify-v1" content="0SkVkN6apr9DZkKbQYc7kD76tRQXJFsd5/ZDo50ys1I="

17. One of the reasons why it's fake might be that the character above the rat is CHINESE not Japanese. So far, we've been dealing with information and facts about Japan.

18. Chrisda19 posted in the comments section that the Chinese character means "Shen" in rising 2nd Tone, meaning Deity or God

19. August 12th: The site now points to a new page and not slusho.jp (no confirmation what the symbol means)
