Okay back to something more realistic, I was checking out gardens of the sea (for Japan) and apparently they dig seaweed for lots of stuff, including various dishes. Possible that the ingredient was seaweed afterall, but that doesn't quite work with the description of the mystery ingredient.

There was an article i read yesterday that had a quote from someone that was either close to abrams or had some kind of limited knowledge of what he was working on and refered to it as "the sea monster thing". i wish i could find that article now, but my theory for now is something cthulhu-ish, even if the site that originally mentioned cthulhu has been debunked. also, i'm thinking that whatever it was had to come from the water. if it was on land i think they would of heard it sooner, and it obviously is near the statue of liberty.

i'm also getting a vibe that "rob's awesome" girl is the close friend that has feelings towards him that shes trying not to entertain. which will probably be part of the story line.

To me it looks like the reactions are pretty appropriate for panic. Rob and girl 1's reactions are fine. Rob is cool under pressure, he sees the smoke and dibris and instead of turning his back on it is watching for danger. He sees the statue head and moves himself and girl 1 out of the way...

I don't think Rob will be the root cause of all evil. I believe we are simply following him through that part of the story, similar to shaun of the dead. We aren't seeing the heros blasting godzilla to bits. Instead we are seeing the little ants running down the street in the background of the dramatic helicopter scene. I dig it!

As far as what the monster is i think there is a very real possability that we won't ever find out what it was or that if we do it will be when Rob and crew ducks into a bar after the attacker is dead and sees dramatic helicopter footage on the news.

I *hope* it's not a religious end of the world movie. That would be dissapointing.

I also hope it's not aliens. It's all been done, even the everyman point of view. WOTW and Signs...

I want it to be a love craft monster, or a WWIII movie or even something orwellian. It doens't have to be totally new but it would be nice if it wasn't a rehash of something recent.


Oh and one more thing. Has anyone explored the Tremors angle? The guy does say that on the roof.

slusho says, they had to serve it in a near-frozen state to preserfe its freshness.

Jeah, the temperature at the News were a bit higher as normal. Maybe they weren't managing to hold this near-frozen state.

And by "low" of course I mean "high."

I swear I won't post again until someone else does, but.. heh

"Parasite" could also refer to something in what we dumped that attached itself to a sea creature and caused it to mutate.

Supposedly the title will be released during the San Diego comic-con which is July 25-29 so I'm sure we'll know a lot more then.

Moriarity posted this in the talkback section of aicn:

"... this is not a VOLTRON film. This is not a C'thulu film. This is not a remake of someone else's property. It's an original idea that Abrams sold to Paramount last year. Drew Goddard is writing it. The VOLTRON project that Justin Marks is writing is still moving forward. They are not related. I'm not speculating, either. I'm telling you that's exactly how it is, and if you spend the next six months invested in this being VOLTRON and then complain because it's not, you'll have no one to blame but yourself. You're delusional. And there's no reason for it, since you'll get a VOLTRON movie... this just isn't it."

My best guess is still a Lovecraft-inspired horror a la Hellboy.
