Ok so anyone that has seen Transformers(which I havent so if this happens to twist off into a Transformers thread then please no spoilers!), then you will have seen the teaser for JJ Abrams new movie. Its name hasnt been released. JJ and Paramount wont talk about it and I can already see it being one of next years blockbusters as the teaser blew me away.

Anyway the teaser went up here today so have a look!

P.S. Sorry if this was discussed before but I couldnt search for it because haw do you search for a movie with no name?!

Well, that's what Wikipedia's got on it. It's really not much.

We were pissed when we saw the trailer in the theater because we thought it cut the name off.

This one apparently is not officially linked to the movie.

When we first saw the trailer before Transformers, I told my friend that if the movie is titled FOUND that I'm not going to see it.

I heard a rumor that it's a Godzilla movie. That seems to fit. My eldest saw the trailer and asked what it was. Surprising how easy it is to summarize this sort of viral campaign. I just said, "They want you to ask that, so you'll be interested in the answer if youo wouldn't have been otherwise."

According to G-fan, the next Godzilla movie will be 2010. Also, after the disatrous TriStar travesty, Toho will NEVER release movie rights again.

I realize now that the production company name is Bad Robot. However, at the trailer, I thought the name of the movie was Bad Robot.

Which made sense. And was kind of clever.

Any chance?

I would be completely underwhelmed if it were Godzilla.

I would also be incredibly pissed if it were the Finale to Lost. It would be the equivilant of saying they were going to charge you 5 bucks to let you off the roller coaster using the ladder. Sure, you could jump for free, if you really wanted to.

That said, the code name for the movie also goes by the name slusho, in fact, at one point, you can see a cast member wearing a shirt that says slusho. Then, review this and it links:

If you send an email for feedback, you get a response of:


"Slusho! loves your mails!! You Can't Drink Just Six!!!"

Cute. [Smile]

I love the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse! I made an undulating bridge for our toothpick bridge contest in Physics. Looking back, I'm kind of saddened at how often I won the style awards in those contests. My water rocket was capped by a shark head formed from Friendly Plastic. My friend who I helped with all her projects tended to win the functional tests. I helped her load her rocket tip with pennies and stabilize them with wax. The rocket tip itself was just 4 trianges of wood taped together.

That's a weird one. When I have nothing better to do, I'll have to investigate it.

But I did send an email there... and got a response... that confused me even more.

*EDIT*: I actually went through the entire "Ethan Haas was right" site and all their games. I admit I cheated on the last one because I'm too lazy to decipher it (walk-thrus are available on the 'net).

Something's going to happen on August 1st. We'll see, I guess.

And, for those that say they're not linked, this site...

http://www.ethanhaas.org/

...links that to 1-18-08 to Slusho. But, in this day and age, who knows if this is legit?

*EDIT #2* Apparently, J.J. Abrams does...

I've heard such hypotheses as well. That would be interesting, but I want to be surprised by something totally different!

Somone on YouTube was suggesting that it's an adaptation of the arcade game Rampage.

The interesting thing about the "Ethan Haas" sites...Paramount demanded that cut scenes #2-4 be removed from YouTube.

So, while they apparently have no connection to this film, they still are connected to some project cooking over there.

Maybe Calypso is getting a spin-off franchise?

*cries* I hate explaining my jokes.

SPOILERS FOR PIRATES 3:

Did you not see the 3rd Pirates of the Carribean movie? I was making fun of the huge Calypso special effects.

END SPOILERS

Nevermind then. Maybe it wasn't as clever as I thought it was.
