[SUPA SPEC] Movie Events Timeline

Sheesh...ok. With some temerity I am making a new post for this.
Lots of watching the trailer over and over and looking at the stills posted with the actress interview. One of the photos shows 4 of the slusho 7 walking down a plastic-like corridor with 2 armed military personal. They seem to be relatively at ease...meaning that they are no longer RUNNING their A$$ off from a huge beastie on a warpath, but you still get the feeling that they have been through hell and back. Bleeding eye girl also looks to be clutching a wound on her shoulder. Attacked maybe in the subway after the clicking noise or suffering collateral damage from falling debris in the "escape from new york" if you will. Seems likely the hazmat/expanding woman scene is soon after this as well.

What I gather is this:

1. We can assume 3 of the S7 are dead/mia at this point.
2. Very soon after this point they/we learn something else (virus, parasites, radiation sickness, alien aids, etc.) is going on aside from grumpy pants on his/her rampage.
3. The presence of military personal having already set up a "green zone" complete with doctors, hermetic tents and the knowledge that they needed to take such precautions shows some sort of prior knowledge to an emanate threat of an infection of sorts.


Edit: Clarified topic. -SpaceBass

1. Since we have little or no idea what point in the movie that scene is, and since we can figure almost all of them die by the end, that's a redundant statement.

2. You make a good point, but this movie goes towards the "monster" aspect and not the "disease" aspect. If it did, they would hint it in some shape/way/form.

3. The military was quite quick to mobilize. Then again, it's NYC, and this video was filmed up to and more than 7 hours after attack. Special troops from Washington could've mobilized.
You make a good point on this.

Actually Kraker, I wouldn't be too surprised if they keep the disease aspect (if there is one) a secret up until the day of the movie.
It reminds me of Halo...the advertising and everything focused on the Human/Covenant war. The interlopers that are the Flood was a surprise (at least, it was to me). Maybe that's how this will be....halfway through the movie, the monster is killed and we think it's over, then the disease part kicks in...It's a possibility at least.

I think you should rename this, like, [SPEC] Timeline of Cloverfield or something, because this thread could be pretty useful in distinguishing in what order things happen. However, I digress.

I notice that in the production still w/the remaining Slusho 7 walking down the military-hospital-corridor-thing, Hud is still there, looking fine but a little worse for wear, and Marlena is bleeding. Notice in that production still at the subway, Marlena is not wounded. Now, given that, in the trailer, Hud gets knocked down in the subway, I think we can assume that Marlena gets injured somewhere between the subway and the hospital (unless they magically patch her up in the hospital and that she's all fine and dandy later in the subway), so I think we can also assume that Hud doesn't actually die or get mortally wounded, especially if we're going on the assumption Marlena dies at the hospital.

So, it looks like Hud lives past the subway.Which is unfortunate, because they all die in the end, or so we're led to believe.

On 1. I was just rhetorically responding to where Jamie and the others were in the second trailer. You do see someone dying/critically wounded in those production stills in an apartment and that seems to take place right after the roof top scene. I assume that since they haven't even hit the street yet. There are lots of times you see a trailer showing things out of sequence or voice over of one part of a movie overlayed on top of a different part. (IMHO those stills are really the biggest clues we have atm because of the clarity) I do believe we are seeing this movie in the perspective of people watching evidence/aftermath and
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ALL OF THE S7 die.
I am just trying to establish a timeline since we no longer have time stamped photos to hold our hand. If you think that still takes place after the hazmat guys scene so be it. I disagree. I think its seconds/minutes before that happens.

2. Agreed. Indeed this IS a monster movie...but there seems to be secondary and even tertiary things going on. (clicking/buzz in subway still unexplained, bleeding orifices? WTF?) Speaking of bleeding orifices and hazmat suits...would that not be a "hint it in some shape/way/form." of something else? Don't get stuck in teaser trailer mode Razz

3. Yeah I don't know on this one...I mean when 9/11 happened those rescue workers would have done themselves a favor wearing protective gear had they known (lesson learned) and not everyone in this scene is wearing one (why?). Even if its not plausible to have a huge army mobilized to fight a big a$$ monster so fast in reality, I can over look that to push a movie forward. Its just my speculation and I'm sticking to it! Razz

Dont read this

Since this is my spec I guess I'll post here. Its getting late, I've had a few and my brain is going into overtime. Razz

Ok, its a bit of a stretch but maybe someone else can follow this logic. Probably not and I know am 99% dead wrong but...

Deep Sea Nectar...Nectar is comes from flowers (clovers). This is the equivalent of unfertilized "eggs" of flowers. It takes another species (think bees, as in birds and bees) to carry the nectar to another flower to pollinate (fertilize) it. The bees use the nectar (well they eat it, regurgitate it and it becomes honey to be food for later). This is good for both the bees and the flowers. A symbiotic relationship. **DUN DUN DUN**

So now I get a divergent.

Are humans ingesting slusho, acting like flowers (a field of BTW) holding the unfertilized eggs of some monstrous creature that senses a natural pheromone cue to come fertilize its eggs? The eggs mature due to some form of chemical reaction from the monster? The Govt./Military would be very interested in getting their hands on something like that, hence the corkscrew hazmat thing.


Are we ingesting slusho turning it in to "honey" internally that makes us a food source for crabbypants. His/her "hive" is disrupted already (one pissed sea bee, queen maybe?) and the side effect is a rampant infection of the body, causing internal bleeding? Again the govt./military would want that.

I am sure this is totally off but I couldn't help but make the connection.

**note so self honey is bee puke**
