 		[Spec] Space-alien monster confirmed ?!
ok first of... this is not from me ^^
seems like flyers started to appear in russia.

just wanted to let you guys know

Quote:
Yesterday (31 dec) new postcards become uppear in Russia. And they unfortunatly(i'm was a sea monster addict) confirmed that monster is a space alien.

If you doubt in that, i can say that im Russian and there is mine photos.




m also good in english , here is my translate -

Top part:

Right side:
You can't escape.
Just hide.

left:
Cloverfield
Studio:
Paramount
Director:
Matt Reeves
Cast:
Mike
Vogel
(Poseidon),
Lizzy Caplan
(Mean
Girls)
Genre:
Accident,
fantastic,
thriller


And most important bottom part:

New mysterious and innovative āccident-film from producer J. J. Abrams, legendary "Lost" creator.
New-York survived "Godzilla", survived "Day after tommorow"... Can it survive in war with space alien monster?


Happy new year


edit:

another translation from within this thread -

I had my brother-in-law translate the text, without seeing anyone elses translation. He's a Russian Linguist in the Air Force, and he's completely fluent. Here's what he said:

Quote:
Top Left:

Cloverfield
Paramount Studio
Director Matt Reeves
Starring Michael Fogel (Poseiden)
Lizzy Caplan (Mean Girls)
Film Genre: Catastrophe, Fiction, Thriller

Top Right:

You won't escape. Just wait. (or All you can do is wait.)

Bottom Right:

A new mystery and innovative disaster film from producer J.J. Abrams, creator of legendary series Lost. New York survived Godzilla, The Day after Tomorrow... Can it survive a war with an extraterrestrial (or alien) monster?


Pretty similar to everyone elses with some slight variations...

 		That might be a very loose translation, or the closest word in English that fits.

 		I just ran this word through a free online translation site and got extraterrestrial. If you would like to run it through some translations on the web yourself, here is a copy/pastable version of the circled word.



инопланетным Enjoy!

 		i dont think thats what the bottom says, mainly because names do not change from language to language. So it would have to say JJ Abrams on it some where along with New York probably

 		This was discussed before, but unless you assume basically supernatural mutation, the thing has to come from off the earth. It still could have been sitting dormant under the ocean floor for eons (like the goofy machines in Spielberg's idiotic WOTW).

thats bullshit...

it says "paramount"

and you can make out "matt" from "matt reeves" ...

they cant pronounce things like "producer" or something... since they dont use such writings.... they just changed them to their own

Except for the fact that we don't see any war. The "war" was always over the hill, just out of sight, and most of the movie was about being in a basement watching Tim Robbins' over-acting. There was one good special effect, of a dead tripod falling through a building. So there's that.

I digress.

 		Probably be my last translation unless I decide to do the whole thing but the last word on the front is MONSTER..The one really big on the front..

And the bottom sentence..The Last one..смоЖет ли он выЖить в войне с
инопланетным монстром?

Means...will be able it to survive in the war with
the extraterrestrial monster?

Confirmed?

And the fact that the aliens shoot an EMP to turn off all electrical equipment, except for the camcorder that somebody drops which our view point pans down to look through...

 		I'd like to see the entirety of that lower right hand block translated, as there's a quoted strings that seem not to be exactly the titles we've been told, and there's only two when there's 3 quoted titles mentioned in the translation we were given (Lost, Godzilla, Day After Tomorrow). Another thing about those quoted strings - does Godzilla become 3 words but Day After Tomorrow become one?
Confused
