Have to admit I dont like that bottom picture without the monstrous title on AICN. It just leaves too much blank space at the top of the poster.

Kinda hard to take AICN seriously when they're saying that our photog's 'spiced it up'.

I have a hard time believing the whole "colossus" thing. Like it was said on the other thread by AfterDystopia-

ComingSoon.net has a really large, high quality pic of the poster with better lighting.

I wouldn't read into the poster too much. Ultimately, nitpicking geography or creating shapes out of cloud formations does nothing to reveal the creature's identity, to say nothing of revealing an official title. Even if a title were pieced together from studying the poster, I hardly doubt it'll provide much, if any information - 'Lost' or 'Alias' reveals absolutely nothing about the plots of either series, I don't see how a one-word title for this movie is going to enlighten anything as far as actual content is concerned. Artists have been bending reality in their pieces for the sake of increasing dramatic effect for centuries, and this poster is no exception to that. We've already learned all that could be learned from the poster - that 'Monstrous', whether from the beginning or changed at the last minute due to poor public reception, will NOT be the title of this movie. Just sit tight and wait for more information to trickle in, dissecting a poster like this only creates speculation that 99.9% of the time is going to be flat-out wrong. Remember when the trailer first came out and everyone was deducing it'd be Iceman/Cthulhu/Voltron/Godzilla/Leviathan? Every last interpretation ended up being wrong, as Abrams asserted himself. Patience is key; January ultimately isn't that far away, and you'll have to wait even less to get the information you're after.

Agreed Guest.. And movie posters tend to give you a snapshot of the entire movie, could u imagine us picking apart something like a StarWars poster "omg they're fighting with lightsabers AND the death star blows up". I think what you see in the poster is time lapsed. Whatever it is (and knowing JJ, we many really never know) - looks to have came in from the ocean, attack the SOL, and either tossed its head towards the city (only to toss it again once he gets there), or carried it into the city and tossed it further in...

And hello forum, been lurking here a week or two, great forum. Will register / etc later, don't have time. NY Resident (long island), and picking up my mother at the airport today, one of the things we're doing happens to be the SOL - from the battery park side, on Saturday. To give you some more angles, etc to go over, I'll take pics and post 'em here this wkend.

It looks like the same exact poster. The only difference I can see is the title ("Furious" instead of "Monstrous").

I'm thinking fake, too, tygr20. (you posted while I was typing!)
