I guess Slusho! has EVERYTHING to do with Lost, Heroes, and most obviously, Alias to then? Unless you can connect it to the movie, simply shouting "they didzors it because its sorta implying it" is as moronic as the ignorant twats who insisted that the dead in the Night of the Living Dead were rising because of space radiation. Unless you can tie it in, it remains speculation not backed by evidence and hence not connected to the movie. Because you think that writing your own fan fiction makes it actually canon does not change the reality that it ISNT. I swear, do all you fools REALLY need to have everything explained that badly. You think the whole point of it being a movie that isn't supposed to be explained but left open to mystery would have pointed it out for you. Unless you have something back this idiotic assertion up?

Abrams circumvents this by putting the missing elements out there (monsters's origin, motivation, etc etc) via the different ancillary sites (Slusho, jamieandteddy.com, Tagrauto etc). it's all there if you read it ALL and put it ALL together... the story related in the movie is just one person's (or camera's) POV; the movie won't feel complete story-wise unless you put it all together via elements provided outside of the movie. because the story is told through the video camera, there can be little or no ‘backstory/exposition’ in the movie.

The whole viral marketing campaign relies heavily on the fictitious Slusho and its parent company Tagruato, who provides the "secret ingredient" that makes Slusho so good. The movie may or may not provide much of a back story to explain the monster, but people who have been following the "history" in the online marketing campaign will have plenty of information to derive their own conclusions about where the monster came from and why; it's giving the folks who are REALLY interested a chance to formulate the origins of said beastie through the solving of a mystery via the clues available. I've pretty much figured it out, but it will be fun to see the movie and see how right (or wrong!) I may be. I think that's the case with a lot of fans who are awaiting this pic.

But it was released today on cloverfieldclues.blogspot that Paramount has released it is rated PG-13. And for someone writing a review supposedly days (or weeks, I can't remember) later after viewing it, he included a lot of quotes. I personally don't want to believe that spoiler review is real. However, I read the spoiler of the last episode of Lost and didn't want to believe it either, and was very disappointed when I watched exactly what I read. I am crossing my fingers that JJ will give a better movie than that review describes! From what that spoiler review said, it seems the movie would be rated R.

“Slusho” was one of the code names for Cloverfield, so it’s reasonable to think that the “Slusho” JJ Abrams has been working on for years is, in fact Cloverfield.

From JJ Abrams speech at Comic-Con:

I just want to say, I want a monster movie. I want a great monster movie. I wanted a monster movie for so long.
