gff: that occult secret fraternal order stuff can be pleanty cool by itself, but having it spawn a gigantic city-destroying monster to ruin some dudes going-away party and shooting it with video cameras sounds borediculous. How would you accomplish all that exposition? I'm not watching some kids google Albert Pike and the Statue of Liberty for half an hour - I did that yesterday.

OMG I still need to see the Number 23. That shit looks hilarious. However, I doubt it will have the same impact now that I have turned 24.

From the photos on the 1-18-08 website, it looks like it'll be a real-time story.
― Eazy, Friday, 13 July 2007 04:08 (sixteen years ago) link
Ooh, there's a 3rd photo on there now, too, that's new. I hope it is real-time or close to it, with none of the weird conspiracy-theory backstory that's being speculated on here. I like the idea of a disaster/monster movie that portrays the chaos and confusion that would actually be going on during a situation like that, not constantly letting the audience in on the truth that the characters can't see until the end or whatever.

Wasn't that movie supposed to be Spielberg/Cruise War of the Worlds?
― Phil D., Friday, 13 July 2007 14:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Haha I almost used that as a point of comparison. That movie really kinda gave me nightmares, I hope this one does something similiar but more immersive and visceral.
― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 13 July 2007 14:45 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I mean, if this movie WAS about Cthulhu it'd basically be "A monster attacks NYC, and that monster is Cthulhu" judging by the trailer.
Besides, Cthulhu already attacked NYC and the Ghostbusters had to clean up. YouTube here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xXX_HrgX0LQ

Ernie Hudson, who had played Winston Zeddemore in the Ghostbusters films, auditioned for the same role in The Real Ghostbusters, but ultimately the role was given to Arsenio Hall.[2]

Okay, NOBODY mentioned the J. Michael Straczynski story editor credit at the end yet? All of a sudden the whole thing makes perfect sense.

Where is that credit?
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 14 July 2007 00:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Watch all the way to the end, it clearly pops up about five credits in the closing sequence.

A tsunami of internet hype months and months in advance before the inevitable cool down in buzz? Surely this is a tie-in not to Lost or Godzilla but Snakes on a Plane.

9NEWS Entertainment Reporter Kirk Montgomery learned exclusively on Friday from a secret source, who is on the set of the film every day, that it is not a sequel or a remake (which precludes King Kong or Godzilla). It is not Voltron or "Lost"-related.
The source told Kirk the entire film will be presented through a handheld video camera, as in the style of the trailer. All of the actors involved had not seen scripts when they signed on for the project and are under strict legal gag-orders not to discuss any aspect of the film.
The source says 50 percent of the $30 million budget for the film is devoted to special effects.
The official Web site is www.1-18-08.com, but the source tells Kirk that apparently a Japanese-style Web site, www.slusho.jp, has lots of clues yet undiscovered by the rabid fans who have been scouring the Internet for hints.
The source told Kirk the biggest clue of the trailer is in the line: "I saw it, it's alive, it's huge."
The source also says the sound the "creature" makes is another big clue. He says the creature is an organic, living thing.

Saying the "it's alive..." line is the biggest clue in the trailer is basically saying there are NO clues of significance in the trailer.
