 		[SPEC] The woman behind the curtain...
What is really going on?
http://youtube.com/user/VIDEOGAMETRAILERZ

The 2nd released trailer on this site (Good quality) will be my reference.

From 1:05-1:09 there is a lengthy, somewhat breathy scream type sound, accompanied with the panning of a curtain where we see two haz-mat dressed people seemingly almost fighting to keep a hold on what appears to be a woman. She's skinny at first sight and you can very clearly make out her hair length, so one can pretty much be sure this is a woman.

This part of the trailer got my mind racing, and after watching it a few times and a few timely pauses I'm going to get crazy.

They are struggling to keep her tame, and it seems as though she is waving her arms around wildy and screaming. So either she's just really, really scared and they are trying to calm her down, or there is something wrong with her. She knows it, the haz-mats know it, and they are trying to keep it on the DL. How do I know this? Do you see anyone else paying any attention to her? A soldier walks by, there is a man standing at a desk that is directly outside the curtain and doesn't seem to be paying any attention at all to her situation even with the conclusion of the scene.

The sound grows in volume and if you watch carefully coming closer to 1:09 her shadow begins to grow outward around her stomach area. I don't know if that's the guys arms, maybe he's trying to get a better grip on her or something but if you pause the screen just before it blacks out with the clear visual it seems pretty disturbing. Her stomach area at least triples in thickness and I wouldn't attribute it to a jacket or coat of any sort because at first panning over to their position behind the curtain you can clearly see that she isn't wearing anything more than a skin shirt. The position of the guy during the moment her stomach seems to have grown to an unnatural size leads me to believe it couldn't be his arms. It just doesn't look anatomically correct.

Now the most disturbing part. The sound you here at the conclusion of the small clip. You hear a weird "blech" sound. I don't know a better way to describe it but...how about that sound that you heard when those Alien eggs opened from all the "Aliens" movies? I'm not at all suggesting this movie has anything to do with those movies, I'm just using that as a reference for the sound effect. So to be blunt, to me it sounds like something is exploding out of her body. I know it's a stretchy assumption but if it was anything less than that (Just trying to keep her cool), why would they put so much emphasis on that moment in the trailer? They even blacked out from it, seemingly to prevent us from seeing what may have resulted from this little episode.

I've done some reading on a few sites and I've heard the rumor of it being a Parasite of some kind. It's purely a rumor, but after this I'm starting to seriously put my mind to it. The reason this may seem like BS is because some believe that the idea there is more than 1 monster has been refuted. So what do you think of the woman behind the curtain? Do you think that my claim or assertion is logical?

My next idea is something maybe not everyone will agree with but definitely an intriguing one no doubt you'll agree.

Where the guy says "Rob, I saw it, Rob, Rob, it's a li-----", I heard something different than what everyone else seems to believe. I know of the Lion rumor which I don't choose to really believe. Most have accepted it to be "alive". I almost want to disagree. After listening to it extensively I can almost be 100% positive I do not here him say "alive" but "a lie". This could be a solution to the speculation of the quick military reaction according the dated photos, maybe this is some kind of thing that the military messed up and let loose. Just listen to it carefully from 1:15-1:19. There is a lack of the verbal "en" or "vuh" that would dictate it in to being either word. He just says "It's a lie". He doesn't close off the word. Could be my bad hearing though, but I've played it through quite a few times and I'm fairly positive about this.

These are all just speculative ideas, and I'm interested now in this upcoming movie so I like to sit back and wonder with this kind of anticipation too Smile Thanks.

 		Your parasite/Alien theory has been discussed. If you'll notice, she inflates as she screams, like she's about to explode. My guess: either parasites are planted into the body by the smaller monsters (and yes, I do think there are going to be smaller monsters), or they inject something into their bodies that make them, well, explode. Nuff said on that.

Second, "it's a lie" would be an interesting way to say something, and could imply alot. But I'm sticking with "alive", personally.

 		Heres another possibility. Perhaps when the military begins firing at it, the projectiles open wounds that splatter its blood everywhere. Its this monster blood that comes in contact with humans and causes the transfer of whateveritis to infect them. Notice there is some kind of blood on the girls body and clothes in the photos before she expands... the soldier with the blurred out face says you cant help her now its too late....
Instead of little monsters, it could just be airborne toxic blood from the beast that infects everyone..

I only really registered to see what people thought of this and get responses to my own thoughts. I didn't really want to bother with trying to find my own answers for other people's questions. I'll just come right out and say what I think. I wouldn't really be getting my point across if I just was another random post in one of those many topics.

Another thing to consider as evidence for military involvement in the disaster is the fact that none of them seem to heed any mind to the screaming woman. A soldier walks by (Can't really specify his branch), and somebody stands at a desk, all well within range of her blood curling screams, but nothing. It's as if they already know the contents of what may be the result of this "burst". Is she just another victim? They've dealt with this before?

And even more interesting speculation...

There is a scene with a military official (00:55-00:59) with his hands up, his face blurred announcing that there is "nothing we can do for her now". Is he referring to someone who has been woefully infected and is now doomed to the same ill-fate we see of the screaming woman? That girl leaning her hands up against the wall?

Shortly after is a high pitched man saying that he doesn't care what is happening, "she" is dying (1:00-1:05). This means he already knows that this person is dying. If he had just lost touch with her among the monster ridden city, you'd assume he would just say "She could be dead" or "She could get killed". He states that she "is dying". So it appears as though he knows her condition. This leads me to believe that there is indeed a "condition" in this film. This goes back to a parasite that slowly kills it's host, or some sort of infection the monster gives.

 		Quickly, before this thread dies, I just thought I'd say, I'm still intent on the idea that this woman is Jamie. Call me crazy, but when the movie comes out, we'll see.

Okay, with that said, yes, please use the Search function from now on. Thanks.

A new variation on old speculations does NOT warrant a new thread.
Everything you are discussing here has been discussed before, elsewhere.
Posting a fresh thread instead of adding to an existing one just serves to repost a huge discussion all over again, and waste the resources of the unFiciton servers. You aren't doing us a favor, and you aren't more important than anyone else to deserve your own thread on a topic already discussed. Your comment:

Is pretty plainly rude to me.

Remember, Play Nice.
That means not only to other players, but to the forum unto itself.

I was just saying I wanted answers to my own specific speculations rather than trying to find someone else's that was similar to mine, and work all the responses to fit for me.

There are other speculations among my posts as well that I can't seem to word for word find among the forum. And really, I don't think it's logical to assert that I'm rude because I lack the attention to go through 21 pages of topics and search every single topic and page of those topics for a response that is coherent to my question and/or speculations.

I'm new, give me a link to these topics? I was proposing ideas, not discussing them.

 		 girl in the trailer
Seems to me that the "exploding" could be wings erupting from the back of the girl as she turns.

That's all just on the first page of only TWO of results for that search. There were only 30 results, and that's with them as post results, not topics.

Everything you've posed, including mention of Alien.
