Maybe he meant his and his son monster. Meaning we won't get to see it, just the character running and hiding, debris falling and roars in the distance. Then someone tells them to come out because the monster is dead. A seconf before they reach the gigant corpse the movie ends.

JJ then tell his kid "Dude, I really love our monster we may show it to the people after all mysteries in Lost had been solved."

Getting WAY back to the discussions at the beginning of the thread...
There's this idea coming up that maybe everyone of the 7 die, and that this possibly heralds the death of ALL humanity. If that's the case, go back and look at 1-18-08.com and tell me - who is supposed to be looking at those pictures (and recipe card )? Those pictures are all dated in our future, and thus we can figure so is the perspective those images are seen. Question is WHO is looking at them? If all humanity is dead. Is there an alien finding out about this some ages from now, or have the mice finally asserted themselves and this is actually THE answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything?

As far as the idea of the monster dying or being killed, or perhaps returning whence it came - if JJ intends any potential of a direct sequel, I'd expect it to be the latter. Otherwise he's got to invent a reason why we'd have a related occurence again - which I'm sure he could do.

I thought the goal of this promotion, which I wouldn't call a game, was to create buzz for the project? Keep people talking about it and hopefully sell more tickets?

We don't have a job in this promotion. We do what we feel like when we feel like it. Which mostly consists of us waiting for something to happen.

Oh wait... maybe SER-HI means that because we will know that a monster is about to attack, we can warn some of the characters on their myspace and perhaps save them?

Wow, that would be taking a chance with the movie...depending on the action of the net to affect the story of a movie that has been filmed a while ago.

sorry i messed that up!

You're right, Hurley. Sorry, SER-HI - I rushed to judgment. Now, I'm thinking of Clue (the movie), w/it's alternate endings...

Still, they could only have filmed so many alternate endings. Clue had three, I think. Realistically - how many do you suppose JJabrams & Co. could have? First number that pops into my head is six. Don't know why. I think that would be an upper limit though.

Also, would it work if we can only affect the final outcome? If we can influence that wouldn't we be able to influence more? I'm not saying we get to determine every step they take, but more points of possible story divergence than just ONE, at the end. They might be doing something really revolutionary - maybe they filmed a kind of collage of scenes, so that there are multiple points where the story could diverge - they would have a master flow chart somewhere and, as things develop, they simply edit together the scenes they have to choose from. And, we should also assume they'd have the foresight to make every possible branch of the flow-chart be a plot line that would work, be a good movie.

Two many branches in the flow-chart, though, and there's going to be a lot of unused/wasted footage. I dunno. Maybe just a few alternate endings then. I guess that could work. Hurm...
