Even if this is OOG (Ethan Haas-ish, for example), that's the way it all started, pretty much, the first time, and it all turned out alright in the end. I don't see where following things like this could be any more harmful than last time.

Oh, and btw, "Aladygma" is da shiz. Sounds...funky.

You all do know that EthanHaas was a LEGIT puzzle trail/ARE for an RPG called Alpha & Omega right?????(uF Vets ....I know you all knew this).

A lot of you make it sound like Haas was a deliberate attempt to fool people into believing that it was a part of Cloverfield. I didn't and this situation is so far from that situation it's silly.

PS: This is definitely NOT connected to Cloverfield in any official way....no if's, and's or but's.
It makes NO sense why the ARE for Cloverfield would be still ongoing, and it makes NO sense why they would even start a new ARE/VMC/ARG for a sequel at this time. People would need to be paid for this to be the case, and I just don't see it.
As someone here so eloquently stated:
They promised us a movie....not a [damned] lifestyle!!!!!!!

Chill....... It makes alot of sense for the DVD/sequel... and they could have been already paid because it could have been already finished... besides we know the manga is still going to come out so its not OVER by any means

No you don't...You remember a person trying to name it "Aphynos". That makes a world of difference in the topic this thread is over. With that one piece of mis information you just gave, could have killed the discussion...

Overkill much? Stop being so dramatic. lol.

Google "aladygma".....this has gotten a bit of steam behind it now.

If you read the /Film article by Peter Sciretta(a very reliable source for info IMHO) he states:

Quote:

And chances are it has absolutely nothing to do with a Cloverfield sequel, as I'm told that the project is currently dead at the moment (this could always change).

Dead? The Clover Sequel is now dead????? wtf?

Ah...yessir. Regardless, Ethan Haas was OOG as far as the Cloverfield ARE was concerned.

Ok...first off...I've no need to "chill" as you put it. And second...I totally disagree. The manga is for the Japanese marketing of the movie's release....ARG's from what I've read(or not have seen) are not a popular means of entertainment in Japan. The Manga is NOT IG. It is totally 100% OOG. It's published by a real publisher....so again...game over.

Fignut, the manga is OOG so far. Since we know it is official, and it is reviewed by those in charge of Cloverfield, it's safe to say we should keep an eye on it if they want to drop us clues.

It's like how the teaser was in front of Transformers even though transformers has nothing to do with it.

As long as we know it's official there's a chance.

Oh I completely agree with you there Kraker.....it's official...but it's just a different type of marketing. The Clover teaser was intended to be just that...a taste of the movie to come...it then however took a life of it's own, and morphed into our own little Rabbithole. I can't see the Manga as being the equivalent in nature, ie a rabbithole to a new ARG.

I hope it totally gives a full backstory for all of us to read. But the "experience" won't be there. That's all I'm sayin.

I quoted myself cause I edited it late and people tend to skip over posts...and this is actually new to me, and seemingly important in all of this. Slashfilm is very reliable as I stated, read the article in the link, then tell me what ya think.

Too Bad

Well, the more I think about it the more likely it is OOG... which is a shame... I think they could have taken it great places with a name like that...

On a flip note, I notice somebody heard from somebody's grandma's mother's uncle's cousin's sister's daughter's boyfriend who was the sound check guy's best friend on the set of Sci Fi channel original movie Snakes Eat People 3 that the Cloverfield sequel is "dead." Honestly, I'm not too sure how reliable information like that is since I've only read reference to that statement from one source and HE claims he "heard" it. Now, he could be right, but I wouldn't jump on that wagon just yet. I maintane that if they kill this thing now for good I'm marking it down as one the the most epic franchise failures of all time (Well... that I was personally around to witness.) Based on what The Man said himself, this was never intended to be a one shot wonder. But... alas... things do change...

Wait... help me out on this one, what did I miss? How is the Manga OOG? I don't see that the manga can be completely OOG though. I mean, it takes one thing to tie the manga into the "Cloverfield" universe, and that was the Tagruato ship...

It's OOG simply due to the fact that it's published by a real life comic book company, and copyrighted by the production studio(Bad Robot) and Paramount, the creators of the ARG in the first place. Unless JJ Abrams, Bad Robot, and Paramount Pictures are IG I don't think I'm wrong on this one. Wink

I had to sit back for a moment and think about that, but, yeah, it just occurred to me...for the manga to be IG would be like having the monster toy from Hasbro be IG, as well...both of which would be incredibly awkward (like the whole mirror-looking-at-itself-in-another-mirror idea).

While you make a point of saying that Paramount is not ingame, it makes no difference. Clues, for example a new website, could be easily dropped as a hint through it.

We should keep an eye on it. Nothing tells us that it wont have any clues and it seem to be the best way Paramount would *start* its second ARG.

Oh, I see what you mean now... I meant the material inside the manga being IG. not the actual Manga itself. Good thing I read a bit more thorough this time.
