Would You Guys Like a Forum?

On 05.10.10, In Site News, By admin

When I ran Cloverfieldnews.com a few years ago I had a section of another forum setup specifically for Cloverfield News and chatter, but I have since dissolved that site so there is no more forum. So my question to you guys is, would you use a forum dedicated to this movie? I know the comments can be a little confusing when it comes to responding to people, etc and forums can be easier, but on my end it could be a lot of work (moderating and keeping those pesky spammers out). However, if you guys feel like it would be a useful tool in helping find and talk about information regarding this movie, I'd be happy to set one up.

So let me know in the comments here if you feel like you'd use it if I set it up, thanks. And again, thanks to all those that have made their way here and either commented, emailed me or just read the site, I appreciate it.

Update: Ok, I decided just to set it up anyways, whether it gets much use or not. Please let me know if you think there should be different categories or if something isn't working for you. http://www.super8news.com/forum

Alien Sighting in the Trailer?

On 05.08.10, In Rumors, By admin

At the 22 second mark in the trailer this screenshot was pulled showing what could possibly be an alien figure off to the left side of the screen. It appears to be the face/head of what most people would describe as an alien being. It is gray and has a large skull and larger oval shaped eyes. Now, I'm not sure what we're seeing here, it could just be smoke playing tricks on our eyes, but it does sort of resemble an alien. However, that being said, I don't think this is the creature that is trying to break out of the box car on the train. The creature contained within that car seems to be a lot more powerful and probably a lot bigger than just an alien being. I think we're going to be looking at an actual creature and not just an alien "humanoid" when all is said and done.

So again, this could just be our eyes playing tricks on us and our brains making us see what we want to see, but it's the start of the campaign so I figured that everything is fair game for right now until we can prove otherwise (possible with an official version of the trailer).  So what do you guys think?

Thanks Brett for commenting on this and user wildoofsmeg at unfiction for the screenshot.

Update: commenter Kidanny has posted up another screenshot which some are saying looks more like an alien than the above, but honestly the more I look at both of them it just looks like smoke or the middle of a transition in the frame, but you be the judge. I've posted Kidanny's screenshot after the jump.

(more...)

What Happens When The Counter Ends?

On 05.07.10, In Rumors, By admin

If you've been following the posts today regarding "Super 8" and it's viral campaign, you know that there is somewhat of a countdown going on over at www.scariestthingieversaw.com and the big question is, what will the screen show when the countdown ends? Well you don't have to wait until then to find out... kind of.

Someone in an IRC channel associated with unfiction (if you know who please let me know so I can give them credit) managed to download the .swf file from that website and pull out what will happen at the end of the cycle. It doesn't give us any clues as to what really happens next, but you can at least see what the screen will look like at the end of it. So I don't think this is too much of a spoiler of anything. The only thing I can gather from this screenshot is that the "AF" in "AF FILE LIBRARY" may stand for Air Force, which would make my assumption that D. Morris stands for Dan Morris, since he was a Master Sergeant in the Air Force.

Mystery Face Near The End of The Trailer?

On 05.07.10, In Rumors, By admin

And the speculation begins... If you were around for the Cloverfield viral campaign you will remember people finding things in the trailer that weren't there, such as the monster in the smoke. Now I'm not saying that this is one of those cases, as it does resemble a face more than the smoke resembled the monster, but I'm sure many people will start finding things that don't exist in everything that's release or "found" for Super 8. With that being said, take a look at the image above courtesy of Carlton Halpert and make your own judgement.

This screenshot was taken towards the end of the trailer, just before the letters (which spelled out scariest thing i ever saw) are seen on the screen. Now, it does have the features of a human face, but it could also just be something completely different that our mind puts together as a human face when it's paused like this. Either way, I thought it was interesting enough to post up, so check it out and let us know what you think in the comments.

Thanks for the original screenshot/comment Carlton and Alessandra. And thanks to xUBIK for the updated one.

Could D. Morris be Dan Morris?

On 05.07.10, In Possibly Related, By admin

This is just me thinking aloud here so please correct me if you find something else.

On the scariestthingieversaw.com website, the green screen makes mention of a name, D. Morris, so I decided to do some digging into any D. Morris that might have any relation to UFO's or Area 51 and I came up with Dan Morris and the following information about him.

Dan Morris is a retired Air Force career Master Sergeant who was involved in the extraterrestrial projects for many years. After leaving the Air Force, he was recruited into the super-secret National Reconnaissance Organization, or NRO, during which time he worked specifically on extraterrestrial-connected operations. He had a cosmic top-secret clearance (38 levels above top secret) which, he states, no U.S. president, to his knowledge, has ever held. In his testimony, he talks of assassinations committed by the NSA; he tells how our military deliberately caused the 1947 ET craft crashes near Roswell, and captured one of the ETs, which they kept at Los Alamos for 3 years, until he died. He talks about the intelligence teams that were charged with intimidating, discrediting, and even eliminating witnesses to ET/UFO events. He talks about Germany’s re-engineering of UFOs, even prior to WWII. He talks about our current energy crisis — and the fact that we haven’t needed fossil fuels since the 1940s, when free energy technologies were developed — but have been kept from humanity. This is the real reason for the secrecy of the ET/UFO subject. "What the people in power right now don’t want us to know is that this free energy is available to everybody." In conclusion, he warns against the weaponization of space and the shooting down of ET craft — this could force them to retaliate, and that would be our destruction.

It sounds like this could be the name mentioned in the computer on that site as he seems to have a lot of possible knowledge of UFO cover-ups and other information. So that's what I've dug up so far on the name "D. Morris" that appears on the viral site for the movie, nothing directly related to the campaign, but it could be something to work off of.There's a lot of information out there about him and things he's said, just google dan morris ufo.
