Since it's been awhile since I visited, could someone clarify either way whether slusho.jp had the mobile app links up in the original game?

Based on snips over 8 years....

John Goodman lives in New Orleans and it shows it filmed there, the farmhouse is plantation style (on the 10cloverfieldlane.com site) so it's plausible it'd be set in the south but I would wager it's not set specifically in New Orleans because of those connections. Louisiana's water table is way too high to have underground shelters, unfortunate as that is. There are some but not the style of those.

That said, the military base north of the state would likely have something of that size and nature. And the issue of the oceanic origins would be easily connected to the Gulf.

I do agree it's logical it's set in the aftermath but in spite of how it looks and feels from the trailer, I lean more that it's happening during or alongside/parallel to the events in New York.

Every time I watch the trailer I cannot help but see Lizzy Caplan/Marlena Diamond in Mary Elizabeth Winstead's character...they could pass for sisters at least. It's definitely curious that as of now anyway, IMbd for the film only shows the actors but not the characters' names. The whole "blood relative" thing could be that one of them is related to one of the canon in the original.

And, like your theory, there were more than just one monster. We met Clover and her mamma and parasites. I think this would connect back to them falling from satellites and rousing them from the ocean floor all over the world.

As for the fallout shelter, Goodman has knowledge of what's going on outside. The three of them are comfortable enough and have to have been there for awhile and gotten a routine down.

But MEW stated in an earlier interview on Collider that:

Grabbed a couple caps of "out there"...can't make much out of it though. You?

ETA - K, tried to brighten it up a bit but it doesn't seem to show anything enlightening, except in the last one it looks like two snowmen

Judging by the few objects that can be discerned in the picture, there's light outside, and it's yellowish so it could be either fire, or streetlights. If it's the latter, then it means shit hasn't gone south yet fully but they're still in the bunker because hell just broke loose.
It's all I can assume from there, it's hard to tell what's in that frame even though it's the clearest pic I've seen.

I saw on a Facebook comment somebody claims that the girl and younger guy are a couple or friends that got into a car crash, and Goodman brings them in and fixes them up, only to not let them leave. Would explain her knee brace and his arm in a sling. And the fact that it seems Goodman is the odd man out as if he owns the place and they don't. And seems he's in charge.

My theory keeps changing every hour because there's many different ideas being thrown at us, and many of them sometimes conflict with each other as well.

I think a good theory is the one posted a few posts before this one about how the events of this movie happen paralleled to that of Cloverfield. And if the theory stating those two were in a car accident and Goodman saved them has some truth, then here's how it makes sense. The initial reaction of the Cloverfield attacks caused evacuation of the city and people running frantic, most of them not having any idea of what was going on, no clue of any monster. People seemed to just know something bad was happening. So, the two younger people in the trailer start driving to get out of the area. Maybe it's NYC or maybe it's another area anywhere else being evacuated due to a similar event occurring similtaneously. Maybe there's another Clover/MGP that woke up along with the original one. Maybe there's multiples.

Anyway, as they're driving it's a reckless environment as everybody is desperate to evacuate and that's what causes the crash. Goodman brings them down to this safe zone cellar for reasons I don't want to overly speculate about because there's many possibilities why. While they are down there the bombings occur, which would explain the shaking in the trailer. Then when she escapes she sees the city completely in shambles from the bombings. This would explain her shocked and devastated reaction when looking outside, because it looks completely different than when she was previously outside.

Again, obviously just a speculative theory based on other nonfactual theories and claims I've seen. But this potentially could make sense.
