1-18-08 Solved?

After much, much discussion, it seems the mystery (and title) of JJ Abrams' top-secret monster movie may have been solved. A very interesting (and plausible) theory has popped up on the internet. Take a look for yourself, see if it's true. Also behind the cut is the supposed title and poster.



Okay, so the apparent title is MONSTROUS. Some kid took a picture of a poster at a comic book store, which depicts a headless Statue of Liberty, with the title MONSTROUS spread out across the top and the release date 1-18-08 on the bottom.

clicky for pics.

THEORY--

If you look at the trailer you can see the number 3 being referenced to everywhere. The 63 degrees on the news channel, The 12:36, the 2004 ACE, numbers that are all dividable by 3.

Last, but not least, you hear the thundering monster sound three times, each sound accompanied by a different event.

Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness"

So what in biblical mythology has connections to the slew of references in the trailer? The three great monsters.

In Jewish belief, Behemoth is the primal unconquerable monster of the land, as Leviathan is the primal monster of the waters of the sea and Ziz the primordial monster of the sky.

1) The first monster roar is accompanied by an earthquake (Behemoth)
2) The second monster roar is accompanied by a huge fireball (Leviathan, for it can breathe fire)
3) The third monster roar is accompanied by the flying Statue of Liberty head (Ziz).

Not convinced?

The guy who says "maybe we can get a better view from the roof" has the Slusho logo on his shirt. Slusho is a classic J.J. Abrams icon, and it has appeared in both Alias and Lost, which are his shows.

Slusho.jp has, by now, been confirmed as a part of the viral marketing campaign revolving around 1-18-08. Japan. Strangely enough, the character Rob, who is present in the trailer, was gonna fly to Japan a day after that party and the monster events.

Let's have a look around on that site. Not all pages are accessible. But there is an odd feature about the pages that are available. The main page background is on land, the Downloads page background is on air, and the History page background is on sea.

Furthermore, the six buttons on the main page cause popups of various animals, namely a Horse, a Whale and a Bird. Behemoth, Leviathan, Ziz.

source for theory

sounds cool if its true.

[info]oldtactics 23rd-Jul-2007 11:28 pm (UTC)
Uh, JJ Abrams runs the universe.

Is your icon real?
[info]lyinglies 23rd-Jul-2007 11:30 pm (UTC)
well, JJ Abrams is pretty popular, not to mention when the trailer first came out there was no title or no explanation of what was attacking NYC, which would normally draw people to it. it did me. =p
[info]heart_of_butter 24th-Jul-2007 12:21 am (UTC)
It's a movie, and they're trying to drum up publicity for it. It's not important, they're just trying to make money.
[info]synth___romance 24th-Jul-2007 01:09 am (UTC)

[info]forgethissmile 24th-Jul-2007 03:36 pm (UTC)

[info]larrylurker 23rd-Jul-2007 10:56 pm (UTC)
I know there's no way it could VOLTRON, but I still want it to be.

I didn't know there was a VOLTRON movie in production though...cool. Thanks Transformers?

ITS ABOUT GODZILLA
[info]slhshoney 24th-Jul-2007 01:02 am (UTC)
sony has the rights to godzilla and the company making this one doesn't.
i think there won't be another godzilla remake before 2010.


/geek
[info]airings 24th-Jul-2007 10:54 am (UTC)
Sony gave up the rights to godzilla in 2003. In 1997 it was decided Sony should make a Godzilla movie before 2003 or else they'd lose the rights. Sony didn't make a movie therefore it could be about Godzilla.

Atleast that's what I read on IMDb :/

i bet even after watching this film there will still be a million questions to be answered and that will just be soooo annoying.
[info]rightkindaphase 24th-Jul-2007 12:12 am (UTC)
let's hope not, and please g-d let this not be some spin off of lost
[info]sunshineyellow 23rd-Jul-2007 10:54 pm (UTC)
I can't wait for this! I love viral marketing and creepy shit like this. The marketing for Blair Witch totally made up for the movie being lame, IMO.
[info]lyinglies 23rd-Jul-2007 11:31 pm (UTC)
IAWTC!
[info]nemesisbecoming 23rd-Jul-2007 10:55 pm (UTC)
