 		Ugo looks like it just has stills from the movie, no clues, at this point.

 		This thing better not be winding down already, because if so, I think it will be very anti-climatic.

 		I don't think it's winding down, we've only just been prodded in the direction of the Facebook page. Although, saying that, we don't seem to have been given any more to be going on with have we?

The reason it seems like it's winding down to me is Mikes last post on lastpalmtree

 		Who the hell knows... If they were being secretive and covert it'd be easy to tell when the curtain is lifted, but here THERE IS NO CURTAIN. I'm surprised the Sony Pictures logo isn't on the Last Palm Tree blog.

"Ugo.com"? Yeah... I thought of that, too. But that doesn't make any sense as far as the storytelling goes.

This movie has a great potential for a backstory, but with them being so up front about this being a movie I feel it's a trainwreck in the making.

 		Hmm, yeah, good point Nighthawk. In fact, I'd been thinking about posting on Sarah's Facebook wall about the anagram resolving to ugo.com, but the paradox of publicly showing one of the characters a link to a page promoting the film just seemed wrong. So, I emailed the character instead.
It is beginning to look as though this could possibly be going nowhere.

 		They're definitely monitoring these fourms. They had posted a link to us on the facebook page. I think they noticed our concerns about this ending, seemingly, prematurely, and mike posted a new update:

We still have a lot of digging to do to find out what happened. Here is Eric's latest:

 		And the big reveal at ugo: trailer for the movie.

Video looks fairly good..don't know if i can take another handheld movie again though..

 		The trailer is virtually a shot-for-shot duplicate from the original "REC". When they bust down the door and startle her, the doorway and the hallway inside look IDENTICAL to the original.

If they maintain that level of similarity to the original movie, it's gonna be great. The original "REC" was awesomely done.

But then again, we've all seen the backlash that happens when blogs seem to be too real when they are talking about missing persons and what not (see Save My Husband). I really don't have a whole lot of problem with them putting in the meta data in the source code and such where one doesn't have to view it if they don't want to. They aren't the first game to do it and I'm sure they won't be the last. I mean, is it really so bad that they want to advertise the campaign to people looking for information on the movie?

I will give you that the whole ugo.com thing makes no sense in the scheme of the game. But I am willing to treat it like a reward for participating in the game up until this point. Sorta like when The Dark Knight game gave out links to posters and trailers after one of their missions. I don't really recall people overly complaining that the 'rewards' were too overly commercial and ruining the immersion of the game. I just remember everyone scrambling to get to see the stuff that we had 'won'.

 		i also wouldn't worry about it too much, because (as someone mentioned earlier) her facebook page "became a fan" of the quarantine movie facebook page today anyways.

I really hope this isn't the end...

 		Ok, I ~think~ it's this fire station:-

https://businessphotosusa.com/imagedb/img/US/90010/2005/US-90010-934240029_2005-12-05-14-16-0446775.jpg

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's 4029 Wilshire Boulevard. Station #29


I'm mailing Mike with my findings.
