I couldn't find the commercial at all....
And whoblewupthelondoneye.com MAY not be related to Quiet's commercial.
They seem to've been made by WAY different people.
whoblewup involves the London Eye exploding.
In the commercial it just kind of... derailed.

He didn't sabotage it, Chronus, it was a complete accident. The client wanted to take out the owner, anyway.
Anyway.
Most likely an ARG for an indie film?

THAT'S RIGHT!
It was the the fact that he didn't maintain the park that pissed the client off.
It was either he sabotaged it, or he might as well have, couldn't remember which....

Whatever it is, the man was a wreck. The park looked clean...
Anyway. Have we seen any clues? What's the uploader's address?

It would be wonderful for those of us across the pond if someone had uploaded this commercial to YT or other internet video site.
But from what you guys described, the website doesn't sound related to the commercial. And the commercial sounds like something promoting a new tv show or movie.
Maybe there will be a serial set of commercials that will draw you into the story?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
These aren't related at all, I think.
First off, the budget:
The commercial was on national television and looked very realistic from the point of view of someone that was on the Eye at the time.
These videos are basically white flashes and jagged camera angles, none of them taking place ON the Eye.
Secondly, the cause of the Eye's destruction:
In the commercial, as described, the destruction of the eye seemed to be a terrible accident in which the Eye (and please, correct me if I'm wrong on this) sort of... fell off it's restraints.
The site and youtube videos were shots of the Eye exploding completely.
As I said, we may have run into two different trailheads.

Yes, you could see large metal pieces flying off from the middle that presumably held it in place and when the wheel hit the ground it just sort of rolled away like you would expect a wheel to. I havent seen it at all today but Im watching out for it. I expect and hope that more related adverts will come as time passes.

I don't think this has to do with Fantastic Four (but of course I could be wrong).
Quiet described it as looking more like a home video, not unlike the Cloverfield trailer.
EDIT: Also, this was a commercial advertisement that suddenly just popped up on the TV. I don't think a movie that was just released would advertise it so cryptically.
I'm also hoping for another commercial. This looks interesting.

Could it be related to Cloverfield? Maybe a monster attacked London, too?

I've looked around all day and not found anything. None of my UK friends know of it either.

That could be....
But the lack of any text on the ad is... odd.
Do you remember anything the people in the ad said, if anything, Quiet?
