Now what does this remind you of?

Seriously, watch this trailer and tell me what this reminds you of.

Alright, I know, it's not supposed to be that. But hey, apparently that thing is called "the parasite", so heh, I couldn't help but see shades of CT in it.

I can't get the trailer to work. It just crashes Firefox.

You thought so too, eh? I wonder if J J Abrams there is familiar with Chrono Trigger, or if this is just a superficial coincidence...

Weird thing is, the movie doesn't have a name yet. That on it is just the release date, I suppose. And the sources that say the monster's name only call it "the parasite" in quotation marks like that, as though it were very vague. Heh. I know, I know, it's NOT Chrono Trigger. Still, I think all of us are going to have a difficult time not seeing shades of Trigger in it.

Oh, sorry man. Didn't mean to steal your discovery like that. I don't check that thread all too often, so I hadn't seen it. Pretty neat links, I must say (or, at least the first one is.)

Do you guys... think this just MIGHT be a CTesque thing? Again, likely not, but then again...

We can only dream.

My money though is on Godzilla. Godzilla 2007. (Stupid title I know.)
Just seems like a Godzilla movie to me, that's what I first thought of at least.

That screenshot does not work. It just links to your account.

Tsk. If any of those guys had any sense, they'd have grabbed a mop and jumped into the fray!

Oops, sorry, yeah, didn't notice the picture doesn't work. But try the trailer.

Anyway, I was looking at one of those other sites there (thanks Kebrel!), and judging by some of the marketing things surrounding it (the sort of cryptic things that are getting sent onto the net), it doesn't seem like Godzilla or anything. Actually (though I truthfully don't know anything about his writing), I think it may be a Lovecraft thing, Cthulu or some such thing. At any rate a lot of the wording in the stuff seems very like to the snippets of Lovecraft's writing that I've seen, and so that's probably what it is. I'd say it's almost definitely that, judging by what I saw skimming over that one site (the blog site.) Meh. I'd prefer Chrono Trigger, you know? That stuff seems all dark and depression, very melodramatic and totally unheroic and untragic, so it's not the sort of thing I'd be favourable towards.

Possibly inspired/influenced by Chrono Trigger, but my money's on him having some crazy hallucination's while on pot about a giant Lavos-like creature telling him the world would end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds.

I just wanna see the thing. We must all agree: if it is red and spiky and opens holes in time, then it is Lavos, regardless of movie title, characters, and anything else.

That is probably the coolest trailer I've ever seen. That I can remember. Anywhoo, the fiery blasts really looked like "Destruction Rains from the Heavens" attack of Lavos'. Too bad it probably isn't a CT thing.

J J Abrams has said that the only sites about the movie is the 1-18-08 and Slusho, and that ethen hass is not their's. Although Paramount is removing both movie trailers and vids from ethen hass from youtube(cover-up?). Common theories is that it is Godzilla, A giant lion, Voltron, aliens, cthulhu, Ragnarök, or genetic experiments.
