 [SPEC] Suspicious Rob...
He knows something..

I was taking a look back through the trailer in HD trying to find somethnig we have missed. It may be my imagination, but I think that I have found another indication that Rob knows something about what is going on in the trailer.

If you watch the brief scene after the lights come on (after the 'earthquake' and just before the newscast) when everyone is rushing to the windows, Rob is doing the opposite, moving away. Not neccessarily suspicious....but look at the look on his face, that definitely looks like what he has heard / seen is confirming his worst fears....

I would be interested on your thoughts, am I seeing things or is his behaviour and facial expressions in tune with ome one who knows something the rest do not?

LOL, I was doing the exact same thing and I came to the same conclusion. Also watch him when they get on the roof agreeing with the comment, "Looks like you shoulda left earlier" (paraphrased). If i heard a roar like that I would probably be in a corner crying, calling 911, or trying to find a gun. Not joking around like that. (Note: pay close attention to Rob's face after the comment is made)

Thinking deeper you may notice its like a game of pass the parcel, but in this game its pass the camera. Each view is from the visual perpective of one of the cast members, they being Rob, Slusho-man and currently one other that I have not managed to triangulate yet. So instead of off the shoulder views of characthers like in lost, this films perpective will be from each of the actors holding the camera, and the line 'Main Dude' square places him (Rob) in the leading role. So now the question becomes of the frames posted on the slusho site who took which frame was it Slusho-man watching rob have a drink forced down him, was it rob looking at the two girls, was it Slusho-man looking at the ash strewn steet view after being caught in the street post the tossing of the SOL head. Was it Rob now heading to the next location he needs to get to taking a look at the people in the street (Military in place).

So effectively the story unfurls but, nothing that will point directly at the source of the film as that will not be revealed until release date.

Its a great concept by the way. Get a group of friends and agree to pass the camera around to each other and video each other as a video blog of 'My day out in New York when the bomb went off' send it to your favorite Aunt and let her try and figure out what happened as the only source link. A Mystery that will keep her entertained for a lifetime or until you arrive and tell her what really happend at which point she gushes with relief and watches it all over again to confirm the statements. You may have to watch this more then once, perhaps even six times or more to piece together the individual perspectives Lol.

Yeah, I too noticed he was looking a bit suspicious, or a bit like his suspicions had been confirmed. Like he knew this was going to happen, and then it did. Or he was told by something that this was going to happen, he didn't believe him, and then it did happen.

Nice idea about the camera. It's possible. However, when they are asking people to talk about Rob, it's the same voice. So shrugs. Great idea though.

As for Rob knowing something. Originally I thought the same thing. But then I started thinking, big mistake right. If you knew something BIG and terrible was coming, would you go to the roof? Or would you get the heck out of the city? This is NYC, traffic is going to be horrible. Why would you wait around?

I figure if he knows anything, it isn't much.

I don't think rob will have anything to do with the story, for a hero at that because in the trailer when he's with the girl you can obviously tell he's surprised and shocked then runs away not even caring about the girl.

if you notice at the end of the trailer, rob pushes the girl out of the way BEFORE the liberty head is even in view.

most likely an honest mistake. just thought id mention it.

could just be a slight continuity error but yeah that did seem a bit odd, considering it's nightime and the head come through the smoke further down broadway so in theory they shouldn't be able to see it until it comes past the woolworth building.
rob just doesn't seem that animated about the whole thing except when he's moving his two lady friends out the way.

Gotta be a continuity error, even if Rob had advance warning of the attack he wouldnt have advance warning of the monster specificly throwing the head of SOL into NYC. Unless a) Rob has super hero-like vision, or b) he has some kind of spooky telepathic connection to the monster and did infact know the head was flying his way. Both are implausable at this point due to the lack of info.

If you knew there was the possibility of a 300' tall monster plowing through the city you live in, would you stick around, drinking beer at a party?

I'd be stockpiling food inside a bunker in Nebraska.

good point, though he mave have had reason to beleive it could happen and it actually has, rather than knowing for sure that it is going to happen.
we could speculate that one for ages
