Don't think so.

Ok, im confused...whos Ethan Haas?! Confused


Ethan Haas is a character from an online mystery that may or may not be linked to 1-18-08.

Personally, I'm of the belief that it's not as there doesn't seem to be any real way (at this point in time) for the two stories to work with each other.

For example, for this 1-18-08 "game", something happens on January 18, 2008, just after midnight in the span of a half hour. Some beast thing demolishes the city. Further, we know that it is a relatively small budget for this film, and it is being shot essentially with handheld cameras.

None of that fits into this Ethan Haas/Mezin Source game. For example, Van is talking with us currently. In a completely different kind of style than the 1-18-08 trailer.

The only way I see the two stories coming together is that currently this Van character is trying to drum up some kind of army of sorts to fight the mezin source. He'll amass this "army" from Aug. 1-31, 2007 (as per what he says in the game). They fight the Mezin for a few months, but then something HUGE happens Jan. 18, 2008.

Enter the 1-18-08 stuff/videotapes.

Still, though, it's hard to believe because the creative styles as well as the storylines, at this point, are vastly different.

And for everyone talking about the Paramount link and the stuff they pulled off YouTube, it's not too crazy to believe that Paramount can and does work on many different things...

Been following along, but I'm slightly confused about something. If all that the trailer says at the end is 1-18-08... why the assumption that it means Jan. 18, 2008? And further, why is it being assumed that it is the release date for this "unnamed" project?

Just wondering where that's been officially stated (and 99.9% of these "upcoming movies" websites don't count seeing as how their accuracy rate is fairly sketchy).


The trailer says: In Theaters: 1-8-08


Awesome, thanks... couldn't remember if it said "in theaters" or not. Now I get it.

As were the creative styles of Lost and The Lost Experience.

 		I really don't buy any of the blogspot stuff. :\
Because the guy on the website is VAN not Ethan Haas.
From my own personal experience, things like blogspot or myspace aren't ingame usually anyways.

Yup, I've read that... but it says that occured in May 2006...

So, at the moment, the only thing linking these two things together is a site that may or may not be legit talking about something similar that happened in New York in May 2006 nearly two full years before Jan. 18, 2008...

 		pyramid
track 4
wolfmother album (with joker and theif on it)
Can you see it's full of lightning,
All the futures that I see are whitening,
See the time of yesterday,
Become the time that we have today,

Oh I'm looking for a hidden meaning,
Can you tell me if it's just a feeling,
See the light is shining in your eye's,
Is it love in disguise,

I saw the light shine out today,
I saw the light shine out today,
And it told me that you're not the one for me,

Can you hear the ancient calling,
See the empires we've built are falling,
All we have is the human touch,
The clock is ticking even as we rush


the entire albums lyrics are fun to read in the mindset we're all in
but
don't think it's really related
much like half the crap i find =p

I understand, but this isn't Lost, and Abrams didn't write this film.

Ah well, the Ethan Haas stuff is a cool game, nonetheless, whether it turns out to be connected or not.

Guess we'll all know in August, eh?

Sigh. I know there's 25 pages here already, but could people PLEASE read the thread before posting what they excitedly believe is somehow new, but isn't?

That's not my point. My point is you can't use "the styles are different" of evidence that two things are not connected -- meaning, you can't say the trailer and the websites aren't similar in style and so aren't related.
