OOOooo no one filled this out yet!

{pst, you don't need that spoiler tag there..., just for stuff from the alleged original script, trailer stuff is free game}

I believe the person who was fist banging on the door then started banging her head against it. I agree, that's a blood splat!

Speaking of 'splats'...

Noooooo I'm sure that's a rock or a piece of glass that did that. Nails wouldn't leave that type of mark.

I think this is the best place to put this now, but somebody on Reddit was re watching Cloverfield with the directors commentary on and found out something kinda neat that might explain why they chose the code name "Valencia" to film the movie under.

In the FaPT thread, there was discussion about them alluding to or at least acknowledging the previous incident in this story. I actually mentioned the website not being updated since '08 when I sent my email off to Tagruato last week (I got the same automated response back as everyone else).

It actually makes me wonder if there's not a more Twilight Zone quality to the Cloverfield stories. More like an anthology than a shared universe. JJ's been an outspoken fan of the series. The only real tie to all of them being Tagruato, which maybe exists as like a "singularity"(a la Unicron and Primas if you're a Transformers nerd as I am) or "constant" (to use BR parlance). Randall Flagg in Stephen King's stories is another good example. Basically, existing across a multiverse but being the same character.

The word "Cloverfield" has some interesting illusions in itself (a lot of little little things making one big one, some being anomalies), so I wonder if this isn't a set up for that sort've situation. I'd actually be okay with this, since shared universes seem to be the hip thing these days and I don't feel like they're always necessary. Thoughts?

Agree. The anthology sort of things seems to me very likaly. Another prototype is Necronimicon and the whole insane universe of Lovecraft (Cloverfield ARG especially Slusho story was very influenced by this): Lovecroftean stories are connected with the same background, but various sujets and characters. Perhaps even multiple universes with one initiation.

Here we may have similiar narrative situation.
