i think these still are all without a lot of the digital effects that they will have when on film, for example making it look like night, etc.

i think this new information gives some credibility to a supposed scene that was floating around a while back where there were survivors making their way down the street, a girl gets attacked, latter they get to a military type station of some sort and the line "she's been bitten!' was quoted when she is sick and bleeding from eyes then chaos. this is where the line 'don't know but its winning' was also originally quoted.
there was another scene that make me think of this in the trailer when they are like 'what is that?' and you here something approaching, Marlena is right there so maybe this is when she gets attacked, it would be cool if in actual movie right after where trailer cuts something jumps her.
sorry i don't have original post of speculated scene, i couldn't find it but i know its out there.

I can see it now: little monsters doing the "Thriller" dance....rob standing in the middle of his friends corpses as "Don't You (Forget About Me)" plays...
Maybe Jaime will put on her lipstick with her cleavage in the next J+T...
lol
Edit: Kudos to Evil the GIF. It seems (to me) like a crucial part of this trailer.

EVIL, did you edit that slowed down 'exploding' clip?
if not it definitely looks like her body really expands like she's going to burst and explode (hopefully into more little monsters)

But I want to add a few new theories...

2) I am starting to wonder about the line "I've seen it… its alive!". If I saw a giant Godzilla/Whale/Lizard I wouldn't tell anyone it was alive, that would be obvious. To state that something is alive is something you would say about a thing that people would not normally think was alive (i.e. a zombie, not a corpse – a golem, not a statue – a transformer, not a car). Add this to the guys in Hazmat suits and the expanding woman thingy and I am starting to think we have a Blob type monster. Something that can infect prey with venom or de-coagulants or something.

Thoughts anyone?

The creature is clearly that, a creature and we know this from the claw marks on the SOL and buildings as the monster strolls through the city. I think after 9/11 any time some type of destruction is caused there is an immediate fear that it could be terroist related. A gas pipe exploded in NY not too long ago, and everyones first assumption was that it was terrorist. Therefore, the line "I've seen it… its alive!" (which might not even be the correct line) could really mean, "this destruction was caused by an animal, not a terrorist."

Due to the hazmat suits, there is definitely something infecting people or at least a fear of something infecting people. I think a good question to ask is whether or not the government knew about the monster prior to its attack? I don't think the government was responsible for it, but was rather tipped off by Tagruato. I think the rather quick response time by the military and their evident knowledge that hazmat suits were necessary to handle the situation, goes a long way to proving some type of military knowledge.

What if the person in the hazmat suit is undressing her...removing her coat might appear as if she's exploding from behind a screen.

EDIT: Disregard that...I just re-watched it and the girl definitely expands rather fast.

Well, from the trailer I'm in the Shadow Monsters are actually Hazmat Suits camp, largely because of Nonplussed Man in Glasses who's sitting right in front of 'em.

I was kinda wondering about the woman's midsection expanding obscenely and the sound effects seeming to imply that she explodes. Shocked Did she have lil' monsters in her a la Parasite? A version of the plague that seems to exist? Indigestion? Something else?


Yay! We're getting into the explody discussion!

Very Happy

I took each frame from the MOV version of the trailer we have and created an animated gif, with 1 second between frames, and ending with a 5 second pause before looping.

It appears that the two figures on either side of the Exploding Woman do appear to be restraining her, or supporting her so she doesn't fall, much like what you see in the Bleeding Marlena picture.

Again, this is all speculation, especially without an HD trailer to reference. I'll probably redo the scene once the HD trailer is available, and compare it then.

also the 'arm' on the left does look strange i quess it could also maybe be one guy in hazmat trying to pull her away from a monster and she gets ripped apart or monster 'injects' her?

Look at the top left corner of the picture... someone's face can be seen there. part of the production crew? or is some dude standing around with no hazmat suit on...

Maybe the monster spawns a bunch of sound guys who run around town with a boom microphone in thier hands, lol



the guy in the corner looks a lot like rob...what do you think?

Good comparison, Evil. I'm with you that the shadows are from hazmat suits, not little monsters. If this is the case, then is there actually any other evidence in the trailer of the Little Monsters? I don't believe so.

The image later in the trailer of the 'corkscrew' as people are calling it, looks to me like a guy in hazmat gear with a large bore drill.

Can't imagine them using that on a person, but who knows?

I said the same thing earlier in the post...

He's wearing a hazmat suit but you can't see it at this angle.

She was probably infected and Rob brought her to the CDC team or something.

So the Slusho7 die.
(remember that the camera was found in Central Park, if Rob was still alive, wouldn't he keep the camera?)

Maybe the woman had 7 Slusho's.

Some type of substance secreted by the monster (sweat, vomit or some other substance) landed on her skin, causing an chemical reaction with the slusho in her stomach. The Slusho expands like vinegar and baking soda, her midsection explodes spraying everyone with her bloody entrails. Laughing
