dubq Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 One guy thinks the monster is in the clouds of the poster: Isn't that the turtle-like Pokemon?
Lil' Bitch Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 I feel like I'm watching Lake Placid again. So much hype for what the mystery monster is and then when its revealed, complete disappointment. Plus I'm not happy the whole film is going to be viewed through a camcorder (Blair Witch Project anybody?). Think I'll skip it, but if reviews are positive on here, then that might change my mind.
Nighthawk Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 Really? I remember pictures of the crocodile in Fangoria long before the movie came out. In any case, Lake Placid was about a pretty big crocodile. This thing is as big as a skyscraper. I'm sort of at the point where I don't really care what it is any more, as long as it's really big and fucks shit up. I enjoy getting excited about something... payoff inconsequential. It could be the marshmallow man for all I care. Actually, that'd be pretty sweet...
In Credible Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 It's probably the black smoke from Lost.
Sideburnious Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 I saw more of a duck beak on the monster in the clouds. I hope it's a giant duck.
luke-o Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 I hope it's a giant version of the cat wearing a duck hood in Sideburnious avatar.
Mik Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 That's interesting. I spent the whole video thinking that the oil spill was the cause of the monster until the end. I know I'm going to need to see this on the 18th to avoid spoiling the monster.
Guest LME Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 I never see movies on premiere night since I dislike crowds (and people), but I'm definitely going to check this one out. The promotion for this movie has been outstanding, and it's got an interesting gimmick with the hand held cameras. I know those are shallow reasons to see a movie, but it's a frickin' giant monster movie. It should be an 'event' and the big screen is the best place for movies like this. Also, I'm thinking that mock up of the giant whale monster posted earlier in the thread may not be too far off the mark. Only because of the concept of human-sized monsters buried on it that attack people. In one of the clips they show the woman that eventually implodes being carried by two guys in Hazmat suits, and one of them yells something like "We gotta bite here!". Quite frankly, a monster that can wreak the havoc we've seen so far would be too big to be able to bite individual humans and have them still be intact. So, it could be those 'mutant lice' that are biting humans, and causing the 'infection' which results in implosion. Of course, I could (and probably am) way off the mark, but it should be fun finding out either way. Can't wait. Also, I could use a thesaurus.
Scroby Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 It's probably the black smoke from Lost. You know, with the whole gimmick is that the thing looks like a cloud, I'm kinda thinking the same thing. Though I'm pretty sure your being sarcastic.

It could be the marshmallow man for all I care. Actually, that'd be pretty sweet... I was thinking the same thing. Since the poster for the movie showed a giant Croc's mouth trying to eat someone, I figured everyone knew in advance that the monster was a big Croc. The only other time I remember a monster-design being kept this much under wraps was The Relic. The movie is kind of eh (compared to the book at least), but the creature design was pretty good.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 It should be called NYC Monster Project Ive got a $1 fandango code I need to use by the end of the month and this looks like the best bet. For $1 if it sucks Im only out $1.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 I need to see both Escape from LA and Escape from NY
Craig Th Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 There is way tooo much hype over this. No matter what the monster is going to be, it is going to be a letdown.
dubq Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 I need to see both Escape from LA and Escape from NY You can skip Escape from LA...
MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 There is way tooo much hype over this. No matter what the monster is going to be, it is going to be a letdown. Arent people more hyped over the debut of the Star Trek teaser before it..?
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Here are some screenshots I grabbed from the latest commercial. Looks like tentacles. This looks like a giant baby.
Hawk 34 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 A giant baby would live up to the hype.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 I know I wouldn't be disappointed.
Scroby Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 So I'm assuming this is what's going to lead to The Planets of the Apes. Hell we're already half way there with the head of the statue of liberty coming off.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 I along with the rest of you am anticipating just WHAT kind of monster this is supposed to be. I've heard everything from a depiction of Cthulu, to a serpent of sorts. Cthulu would make one interesting movie monster. I'm starting to think it's this guy.

Thanks for the screen shots you uploaded. Having not seen the new commercial, I'm still trying to figure out what it is I'm looking at in those pics. I definitely see something, but theres way too much smoke and explosions to make out what it is. Damn you JJ!
EricMM Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Look, the only footage of the monster we've seen so far has been its BUTT. You can't really learn anything...
haws bah gawd Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Looks almost like the tail and back legs of a lobster.....
AntiLeaf33 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 I see 2 legs, a body, etc. Looks a hell of a lot like Godzilla, or at least something in that vain.
luke-o Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Do you know why you can't make out what it is? It's because you won't find out what it is. What you guys have been posting (screen grabs etc) is the best your going to get I'm afraid. At least that's what I think.
Cowboy Battlenuts Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Looking at the top of that I can see why people would think Cthulu, the, what looks like a head has a similar 'Alien' like shape.
