How The Cloverfield Monster was Disturbed

Posted on Monday, May 5th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

A bunch of websites are posting what they claim to be the first photos from Cloverfield 2. My friend Dennis from CloverfieldClues sent these over to me last week, and I wasn’t really sure they were newsworthy or not. Truth is, these are not photos from a Cloverfield sequel. The following photos are the result of the viral alternate reality game from the first film.

The pictures show the discovery of the Cloverfield monster and parasites by Tagruato subs, deep on the ocean floor, near Tagruato’s Chuai Oil Drilling Station. The depth meter on the second photo reads 10,027.5 Meters, which would be over six miles below the surface. These photos were taken before the events in the first Clvoerfield film. The sub probably disturbed the monster, which caused the destruction of Chuai Station, and the eventual destruction of New York City. So if anything, consider this the end of the prequel.

Eerily great photos. Kinda wish they weren't related to Cloverfield. Don't get the fascination.

ugh_doom

Just as excited with these photos as the first time I saw the first mysterious teaser.

Nice, but I thought that it was already stablished (spoiler alert) that the Cloverfield monster was from outer space, as shown in the end clip of the film when the 2 main characters are in the park at the top of the wheel, and you see a meteorite falling from the sky and hitting the ocean. (end spoiler).
Still cool though.

No, that was a satellite from the Tagaruto corporation in the viral game. I think JJ or Matt Reeves confirmed that.

BxA

yeah JJ confirmed that, he also confirmed that the monster had been there for thousands of years.

The Dude

So the monster was awaken by a falling satellite?

Monty

How would it have been in the ocean and how would a satellite awaken it? When they created the monster they talked about how it is chaosing havoc because it isn't in its environment. If that was the case then it would go right back where it came from.

The Dude

Yah... I would have preferred the falling from outer space idea that you get from the film. Awakening a beast just wreaks of a sequel cuz theres no such thing as just one of anything.

Jeff Nyman

Here's the thing for me: it probably would make more sense if the creature was from outer space. After all, this thing could take hundreds of thousands of bullets and direct missile hits, not to mention massive bombs being dropped directly on its back.

I don't care how far down in the ocean this thing came from, nothing biological is going to be able to take that. So if this creature doesn't have something special about it, then the film really makes no sense at all, in terms of how apparently invulnerable the creature was to damage.

paul

if the creature can survive extreme pressure in can survive bombs the bombs explode on impact

juan gonzales

The satellite hit the ocean bed and the company that owned the satellite went there to get it and by doing that they disturbed the monster. the sequel should be awesome

IF what fell from the sky was a satelite and IF it was supposed to have 'disturbed' the monster, then don't you think someone would have noticed a 350ft monster before, seen as it only lived a couple of miles off Coney Island! Duh! Also if this was the case why did it take him weeks to go on the rampage in New York (the Coney Island video was taken weeks before the monster appears). Maybe none of these questions will ever be answered, and thats the way it should be. After all what would you lot do then?

PAUL

HEY.
I Don't pretend to be an expert, so if I am way off, please don't shout at me! But, did you notice in the extras the people on the rig were in white coats - scientists. I don't know if you get scientists on oil rigs wearing white coats.., And the japanese guy in the helicopter was holding a briefcase to his chest. Is it possible they were running secret experiments which created the creature? Just a thought.

Lars

Its scared because if it sleept for thousand of years i think its scared because new york wasnt there for a thousand years ago;-9

chad

i was watchin cloverfirld today and after the credits u hear someone whisper "help me, its still alive." i believe they r gonna make a sequel.

ronnie42

maybe it came from 'the deep' cause if it lived down somewhere with high pressure then it would very very strong which probably explains why the big monster can survive big hits but the smaller creatures ar probably just babys that were tryin to swim but couldnt down that far so they wait till they get stronger

Guys, they had TJ Miller, the guy that played Hud on cloverfield on redbarradio. He gave a few hints to what the sequel might be, but since he died last movie he said he wasnt gonna be in the next one.

Who said that there was just one monster?

Scott

I thought that perhaps the monster was from "inside the earth", and it somehow climbed out of a fissure or some hole in the sea floor created by oil drilling. If this is a creature that, like Godzilla in some of Godzilla movies (like G vs. Biollante), can live and move inside liquid molten rock, etc., this could explain its robustness in taking bomb hits.

Just to say, look at the coordinates. They're in the middle of the Atlantic a few thousand kilometers off the coast of New England.
