Okay guys...
this may be out of left field, but I think I found something very important. Today I was looking at the 10 Cloverfield Ln. poster and I saw something in the clouds. Now we all know that J.J. just put out Star Wars The Force Awakens and there is some confusion about someone in that movie. Now check out the picture I posted and you will notice that Darth FREAKING Plagueis is in the clouds on the poster!

My mind is racing at what this could mean!

I'm just joking, but thought it was funny when looking at the clouds.

Also wanted to say keep up the amazing work guys! Just like the first movie I know you guys will break all the codes.

The SP responses pointing to the weather has my attention. I see the French connection is back in play, too....I went through the trailer again but nothing jumped out at me so far.

I need to catch up on Reddit but I have a feeling it'll be impossible Razz

In some of the posts the last couple pages there is some chatter that seems to be long/lat coordinates - where did this come from or is it speculative? Thanks!


Re: the long/lat discussions--people have begun to speculate that the .Long Term Shelter Supply and unf.orseen bits could have something to do with a code or a hint to ask for long/lats. That's coming more from the first bit than the second, as nobody has been able to discern what the 'unf.orseen' typo could mean with evidence.

I believe a few people on Reddit had added a question in their response emails using ".lat" somewhere within to hint that they knew what was going on/to get more information.

As of right now, nothing has panned out on that thread. Reddit is a lot of work to keep up with Sad

That is seriously jumping to conclusions and pulling at straws.

Meanwhile, since this thread is garnering so much blind action, we'll bring it into News & Rumors.

Reminder: LINK to images when possible to save bandwidth. Play nice. Be respectful of each other. Don't post in uF as characters or other people. Re-read the forum rules (see the box in the upper left of the page). And don't bother real-life people/companies.

It's been nothing but grasping at straws..... you think they will give you a clue saying "this website will become I game when the movie launches" - first, that kind of meta is horrible, and I would hope to fraking hell JJ wouldn't do that. Secondly, a game that launches after the movie comes out is pretty piss poor marketing, eh?

I really don't think anything is happening. I think everyone wants something SO bad that they are seeing what they want to see when and where they want to see it. I think you may have stumbled upon interesting stuff, maybe even hidden messages, from unrelated stuff.

I'd love if I was wrong, but I have yet to see anything (outside of the cute Promotional tie to swamp pop, which I still don't see as anything more than that) with any real validity. Of course, I also won't go to Reddit to fish for explanations so perhaps I am missing something.... But it just looks like straw everywhere.

Perhaps you are right. For JJ it's marketing hype enough to reveal another movie nobody knew before about some weeks ago.

But...

Was The Beast (the father of all ARGs) not launched within (or even after) the movie, as people saw that strange clue in the movie credits?

I also hope, there will be something more than what we have now, but now (after Star Wars) JJ doens't need neither money, nor appreciation, he is already THE Producer, so if he play a game, he does it only if he wants (imho). So I hope, he wants to Smile

Does nobody else think that the "typo" in the email "unf.orseen" is just a nod to this website? I still really just think that Swamp Pop is playing into their new found publicity and, at the moment, isn't part of any larger marketing plan by Paramount, but maybe I'm the only one...

I've been following this for a bit now and for what it's worth, I agree that people seem to be grasping at straws. Still, it's a very effective trailer and made me go back and rewatch Cloverfield.

Nope, the clue for Jeanine Salla - Sentient Machine Therapist first appeared in the very first movie trailers and posters.

Oh OK, thank you for clarification.

I agree that it's all grasping at straws--the long/lat stuff seems especially weak to me, though I am not so sure that there isn't a game afoot. I really want to believe in this Swamp Pop lead but am hesitant until we find anything else.

Looks like some reddit people are driving out to the locations on the Swamp Pop map to investigate, but I doubt they will find too much. I ordered a case of Satsuma Fizz, but the more I think about it the more I realize that they, as an established brand, have no way of filtering out who is playing a game or not (if there is one) and would not likely have clues in the packaging material a la Slusho!. Time will tell on that one.

Considering today is the 8th anniversary (god, I have been holding on to this shit for so many years) I am confident that we will get something if there's anything to get.

My heart is in it, you know?

Should this pan out, will we be creating a new game thread for this movie or keeping it under the Cloverfield one?

It was already moved to N&R (read the thread, Kona posted she moved it) and it's named after the title of the movie so nothing else needs to be done.

Oh OK...

yeah, no, I mean... Marketing a movie takes place before the movie, to build hype so people see it. It can continue after the movie is out for a while, doesn't have to conclude before hand - so we don't have 2 months for a game. We have probably about a month for something to start.... The fake "leak" of the trailer (yes, I think the quality was too good to be a real leak) - that's marketing. Not great, felt like a dead end (which is I am CONVINCED we people are so convinced something is out there.) But like, what if... obviously someone filmed it from a monitor on their phone, so it must be an inside job. Wait, this isn't found footage like the first one - maybe this intern is trying to tell us something by leaking this. Maybe the first film was real and there was a massive cover up! Maybe this one is filmed, full of messages about the cover up, someone wants the world to know it was real!!! Next, we see snippets of folders or secret government websites showing there is a cover up. So on and so on.... That would have been cool.

I'm hoping they DO something with the fake leak. I'm left wanting. I also kinda hope they do what any good marketing camp for a sequel should do, and if they include anything at all from the first game they don't make this game dependent on it. It should stand alone well.

I don't think we are grasping at anything thats too unrealistic. While I admit there might not actually be a real ARG happening, the old ARG escalated so quickly because we weren't afraid to grasp at straws. In a matter of weeks we had the main website which eventually gave us the name of jamie lascano (and eventually even the Clover's roar) who wasn't even a main character in the movie but that led to us the myspace page of all the main people. We got the slusho website from the shirt in the original trailer and that led to tagruato and the entire mess with the chuai station and TIDOwave. All of that was possible because we checked and rechecked every possible clue no matter how weird or obscure it was. thankfully there so many people here who followed from the very start back in '07 and have any idea as to what kinda stuff to check.

even if this all ends up being nothing im already accepting swamp pop as head canon. lol

[edit: i know people ran the audio through a spectrogram but has anyone done a simple speedup or slowdown or the sounds at the end? someone on reddit was saying that they possibly hear a monster roar or helicopter blades around the 1:30ish mark and onward but to me it just sounds like something is sped up and distorted]

[sidenote: does anyone know why i cant post replies directly? i have to quote someone to post replies on the thread]

Gamma Exposure

I know this is a bit funny, but the movie definitely will have radiation implications, right? With this in mind, I keep taking any images (the poster, the sold out image on SwampPop site) and messing with the Exposure and Gamma Correction levels in Photoshop. Maybe I've been playing too much Fallout or looking too deep into the premise, but I was hoping to find something with this. Would have been creatively neat.

Additionally, I haven't been able to reproduce a 7 in the poster as clear as I've seen. I can kind of get the 7's shape, but not nearly as clear. Any directions for replicating this?

Oh, thanks for the heads up! I'm on mobile right now and just have this thread saved--you're a superhero.

He might've messed with the brightness and saturation, and then posterized it.
