[SPEC] NEW breakthrough! (ACE & 108films) THe latest update on 1-18-08 A few weeks back, I caught a bunch of you discussing the hidden word "ACE" in the 1-18-08 trailer. Some of you were pursuing the possibility of ACE Film Festival being related somehow. I'll admit, I thought that was a bit far-reaching at the time.
HOWEVER - I just read on the NYC Blogs Star-Finder that J.J. Abrams was spotted having lunch at New York's NOBU restaurant this weekend with Tom O'Malley (programming director of the ACE FILM FESTIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The facts I know:
- Communication between Abrams and O'Malley
- "ACE" appears for one single frame (1/24 of a second) in the 1-18-08 trailer
- ACE Film Festival is set in New York City
- "108 Films" (no record of actual company found on google!) is a sponsor of the ACE Film Festival
So where do we go from here?

A few points:
- 108Films has a website, albeit a mysterious one: http://www.108films.com/ Looks like it's a bit messed up.
- Perhaps news or clues about Cloverfield will be released at the ACEFF?
Communication between JJ and O'Malley is an interesting fact, but might not be a significant one. They could just be two friends in the film business out having lunch.
The ACE Film Festival is August 24th-26th. I'm putting that date on my calendar.
Edit: After a few seconds of Googling, I found this: http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0818756/
It's a film made by 108Films and directed by Tom O'Malley. Now we know that there was communication twixt 108Films and Tom O'Malley. But, the 108Films movie above was made in 2005, so it's unlikely that it's related (or Abrams has been planning Cloverfield for three years ).
108Films also has a MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/108films

very interesting great research. that's more than I got. i was a bit reluctant to say this in my previous post because it's really just speculationb ut an acquaintance of mine, Stu from the New York Times, says Tom O'Malley and J.J. Abrams have been seen at the same parties for the past 3 years and apparantly spotted walking out of the New Line offices in Midtown Manhattan at the same time 2 years ago... i dunno

Maybe, and this is going out on a limb, 108Films was originally a coincidence, and then Abrams asked Tom to ask 108Films (for whom he directed a movie, and Tom might actually be a part of 108Films) to sponsor ACE Film Festival as part of the 1-18-08 enigma.
A bit confusing, and highly unlikely, but possible.

108 Films Does anyone know how 108Films got the name? The number 108 figures prominently in the "Lost" mythology co-created by J.J. Abrams (sum of "the Numbers," had to push the button every 108 minutes in season 2, etc.)

There's always wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/108_%28number%29
Don't know if any of that is in any way involved. But interesting!

Maybe someone can relabel this thread "ACE" or "108Films" so folks wanting to discuss this information can find this thread more easily?
I love the film industry....so many "in jokes" and coincidences.

Personally I think the pictures a joke. It looks like some guy who who had a little too much to drink at the party and is now paying for it.

True, but we're not talking about the picture itself.. look at the date and timestamp.. also the picture links to itsalive.com, but I'm not clicking on something that I don't know while I'm at work.. so go there, and come back and report mmkay?
