 		I got the same email today since I signed up for updates through the site.

There at the bottom after the unsubscribe jargon is this bit:

Quote:
Our mailing address is:
Theyre Here
Paul Geist Studios
London, England NW1 4NR


The postcode is Regent's Park in London. There are some buildings in that area, but none called Paul Geist Studios. I'm pretty sure Paul Geist is a fictional character and so the address (and studio) are fictional as well, but why include the address in the email?

The sender email address is theyrehereSPLAThotmail.co.uk

 		Anyone else find the mix of large and small characters in the Arubesh intriguing? I was trying to count large words and small words when I realized that at least one word has mixed "case." I'll try counting large and small letters when I get home. (can't se it well enough on my iPad to tell..)

Update:
So here's my count, from Shizzire's translations, except that it seemed to me that the "r" in "renew" was small, as well as the "a" between "mankind" and "greater".
Code:
AFTER THERE IS GREAT(17) trouble(7) AMONG MANKIND(12), a(1) GREATER ONE(10) is prepared(10) THE GREAT MOVER OF THE UNIVERSE WILL(30) r(1)ENEW TIME RAIN(12) blood(5) THIRST FAMINE STEEL WEAPONS AND DISEASE IN THE(39) heavens a(8) FIRE SEEN(8). bring a(6) BLANKET(7). The(3) PESTILENCE WILL(14) come. So(6) VERY DREADFUL THAT(16) young nor old no(13)R ANIMAL WILL SURVIVE(18) blood(5) FIRE MERCURY(11) mars jupiter(11) IN FRANCE FORTUNE(15) favors(6) THE BRAVE, WHERE(13) will you be when(13) THE DAY COMES, JOIN ME IN(19) the --- the d--- in the d—ast


which gives
Code:
17-7-12-1-10-10-30-1-12-5-39-8-8-6-7-3-14-6-16-13-18-5-11-11-15-6-13-13-19


A straight number to letter lookup gives:

Code:
qglajj-ale-hhfgcnfpmrekkofmms


The best I can get with SCBSolver is:
Code:
camerr-emi-sstandthowillytook


Hmmm, looks like a dead end? Anyone else see anything there? The 30 and 39 seem to be way out of line with the rest, perhaps I did something wrong?

More likely they just wanted something to look like film credits and this is their idea of "lorem ipsum" text.

I'm an internet marketer and I run just shy of 50 mailing lists myself. The CAN-SPAM law requires any mailing list to post their physical contact information (address and optionally telephone) at the bottom of every mailing along with an unsubscribe link.

I'm guessing they did that either to a) remain compliant if only at first glance or b) to make it look like a proper mailing list would - some people, weird people like myself, would notice if that was missing and it would blow the fourth wall right off its frame. Razz

Just my two cents.

 		I sat up and took notice when it said it was filmed between Nantwich and Chester, too -- I grew up not far from Nantwich (Haslington) and still have family there.

and may just be a coincidence but the postcode for their mailing address NW1 4NR in Regents Park is just off Chester Rd...

 		I know that London and L.A are worlds apart let alone miles and the release date is November 12th not October 10th. But any chance this could be a viral/fan made thing, for "Skyline"??

 		Not sure but I haven't been able to find anything anywhere for anything opening 10.10.10.

Maybe that is a date for the release of a true trailer. I think its for A70.

 		Just a Guess, but maybe
I have no idea if they are related, no pun intended, but there is a TNA Wrestling PPV coming up on 10/10/10 where "They" are supposed to be revealed. Might be related, might have absolutely nothing to do with this, but thought it was at least possible
