Thanks - that helps.

And ya know, for what it's worth...whether it's part of the story or not aside, if they want us to suspend disbelief to accept monsters and the SOL head rolling down the street, I think we can accept it being 63deg in January too. I'm okay with it. Just was curious if this was unusual or no big deal.

You guys do realize that there has been nothing to indicate that it takes place on January 18th, right? Other than the timestamp on the pictures on 1-18-08.com. Which are obviously meant just to emphasize the release date. While its possible for it to reach that temperature at night, in the past century that's probably only happened a few times at most. The actual date the film takes place is most likely going to be irrelevant if it's even mentioned. Though if you go by the skyline, it's St. Patrick's Day since the Empire State Building has all three tiers lit green.

fair point, plus just had another look through the trailer and there are no sign of cold breath, the girls up on the roof in their party dresses don't look cold (no sign of arm rubbing etc) and the people out on the street don't appear to have any heavy jackets on, t-shirts shirts etc.
unless of course it is actually overly warm for that time of year which could help lead up to the events unfolding.
isn't it the woolworth building though and not the empire state

when they're on the roof, you can see the ESB (oh the glaring geographic mistakes in that trailer) in the background if you're watching very closely, but yes, when they hit street level, the lit up building is the Woolworth building.

At the same time, 62 degrees and an emerald ESB seem more indicitive of 3-17-08 than 1-18-08. I'm not sold either way, but I don't think that the time stamp is necessarily proof of date. I mean, I could set the time stamp on my camera to 1-18-08 for every picture I take, if I were so compelled.

Well it is a [spec] thread. A lot of the debating will hopefully settle down once we get more info.

[worngmike]

would that be mass debating then.
sorry couldn't resist.
either they have intentionally made it warm for january or it actually another date, but like has been said the release date does seem to suggest that is the date of the film, but why though? cos its shot on a hand held. i think we have taken the 1-18-08 as the date of the film happening rather than its release date as it does clearly say in theatres 1-18-08, not set in.
