[INFO] I was there when they filmed at Coney Island...

Problem is we pretty much know Blake Lively is no part of this movie. She doesn't play the Jamie we see in the JLT videos, and we've also now identified the Rob's Awesome Girl as someone else.
It's entirely possible they filmed a scene there for the beginning, but based on all the other evidence about the movie indications are it would be nowhere else in the movie, and the assertion that Blake Lively was part of it creates massive doubts about it actually having been a Cloverfield shoot. Because of the secrecy around this movie, much that is rumored and assumed to be true isn't denied by Paramount, Bad Robot, or JJ Abrams, so a lack of denial of that location shoot doesn't mean it's real.

considering how the trailer starts, there could very well be a similar collection of quick clips, jumping around several locations showing damage by the monster as it continued on. So coney island might be nothing.

Please read the following article for additional resource from July 16th of the NY Post:

As for that little snippet I wrote about Blake Lively and the exact names being there at Coney Island was a direct quote from the Post dated back a week in July when at that time, there was a whole bunch of speculation about whom the actors were and back at that time, we all didnt exactly know then whom the actors would be in the movie, Either way, at that time I didnt even know who J.J. Abrams was, and after all these months and seeing how he looks, I beleive that was defintly him I saw walk right in front of me with the crew. I highly would consider that day to be a shoot towards the Cloverfield movie, Unless you want me to believe that was just a publicity stunt?, For someone to say that all of that happened at coney island is not real, is absurd. I beleive there are other locations that we do not see in the trailers and even NY1 reporter Ms. Torre whom is in the actual teaser trailer on television talked in the same Post article:

"NY1 reporter Torre, on the other hand, was lucky to get plucked to star in the flick, and shot "a lot" more scenes than the one you see in the trailer.
"This whole thing was cloaked in mystery," Torre told The Post. "We weren't given any names. They made me sign a nondisclosure agreement, and I'm not supposed to talk about it."

Now whether how much of the Coney Island Footage they add in the actual movie or whether they even add it in the movie at all, thats a different story cause they could always edit it out, but that would be nonsense when Im pretty sure there are other location in the movie then what they show in the trailers and what we are so accustomed to now by watching the same trailer over and over to a point where you feel thats the whole movie, "nighttime in Manhattan". If its going to be 90 minutes long, a scene in Coney Island in the beginning sounds reasonable. I saw it hands on going down, not some 2 minute trailer like we are used to watching.

Interesting

Im from NY what part are You In

[tigerbaby]

maybe at the end of the 'movie' after all of the monster footage the tape runs into previously recorded stuff of 'happier times'

[casemyo]

that is a cool idea for an ending... kinda like the dawn of the dead remake. with the credits rolling over it. maybe.

its plausible that they filmed some sort of flashback scene in coney island but i dont know.. blake lively being any part just doesnt make sense at this point

[Slusho Addict]

Someone being correctly or incorrectly identified as Blake Lively does nothing to debunk this story though.

We've also seen production photos from the Blackbook article/gallery that look like they are from a point in time prior to the attack (e.g., Hawk and Lily in a grocery store). I'm assuming there'll be some amount of backstory provided in this movie. I can't imagine they'll just dump people into the movie without any of the background on the main characters. Granted, we've been able to gather some of it via the online experience, but they're going to have people going to this movie that don't know anything about the stuff we look at online. It would be either very bold or very insane to make a movie that depended entirely on people visiting websites to gather the backstory needed to understand the characters. Therefore, I think we will see some scenes of the character's lives prior to the attack, either through additional handheld camera footage or maybe even (GASP!) some regular ol' filmed scenes. In fact, even as an avid follower of the online experience, I'll be very frustrated if the movie provides no tie-in with the whole Tagruato/Slusho/Ganu part of the story.

FINALLY!!

The one still we've seen that's clearly not in the apartment and not in the party or aftermath is in the bodega, the same one we see them hiding in in the trailer.

As for the article by the Post being unimpeachable because a 'media outlet couldn't make such a mistake' - that's how we had 3 months of IMDB and others stating that "Odet Jasmin" was in the movie, instead of "Odette Yustman". The reporter for that relatively reputable site misheard or miswrote (or both) the name, and everyone took off on it. Film sites now have a profile for this totally fictional 'Odet Jasmin' actress with only ONE credit - Cloverfield.
