Cloverfield update w/ possible spoilers
Okay, been awhile since I talked about this and the movie comes out next month.
This post is loaded with potential spoilers, so be warned.Apparently, from the viral sites being run across the net, the Cloverfield Monster is completely original. It is a whale hybrid and may have a connection to "extremeophile" lifeforms that have been found living in extreme conditions on the bottom of the ocean floor.
The monster has been awakened by Tagruato, the parent company of Slusho. This likely happened at a site called the Chuai Station, located off the east coast in the atlantic. they were digging for something called "sea nectar" along with petroleum products. if you go to the interactive map, you'll notice that there's no E.U.R.R. for Chuai Station. Also, at other little hidden websites across the net, like one from a faux environmental group called T.I.D.O., you'll see little posts from people who have relatives on Chuai station that they can't contact. There's also a string of videos allegedly from a girl who's dating a guy from TIDO. She gets a package from him, thinking its a xmas gift. In it is evidence against Tagruato, but she doesn't understand. He warns of them having awakened something at Chuai Station. He also sent her a package that warns that it needs to be kept frozen. She tosses it to the side.
Now, here's the big reveal....I can't guarantee this, but I believe it to be authentic.
Here is the Cloverfield Monster!
Now, as we can see, it's a whale mutation. It also has monster louse that ride it, like on real whales. It's collosal, perhaps larger than Godzilla. If it's a deep-sea extremophile used to extreme pressure AND can surface without problems, then it's skin would have to be super tough, probably impervious to even small artillery at that size.
The louse are parasitical, and a separate species. If they bite you, it'd be very nasty, as they probably have some horrendous toxins and may even implant eggs.
You can see the horrible effects of being bitten by one here. Yikes.
We're still not sure why it's called Cloverfield, esp. since everyone was told that was just a working title. They could still change it later I supposed. Also, the monster leak could be meant to divert away from the real thing. I hope not. I think that monster looks freakin' awesome and is going to be horrific on the big screen, esp. when all you'll get are glimpses through hand-held cameras. But the louse are going to be the real horror.
The fact that this thing attacks after the drilling and some hints here and there, give the possibility that it is semi-intelligent. But that fits in with many, many people's beliefs of whale intelligence. And the first rule of monster sci-fi is "take a natural trait and run it to the extreme". This may be why Abrahms chose a whale mutant, so that it having uncanny intellect (if not true intelligence) is believable.
Scary-looking stuff. He wants this to be America's godzilla, but even less friendly and more frightening. I think, if that translates well to screen, he might succeed.
