"Cloverfield's" Lizzy Caplan & Slusho

There's been a whole lotta buzz about "Cloverfield"
http://current.com/topics/76014742_cloverfield
since just before "Transformers" came out.

First, it was a trailer with no movie title.

Then it was the Bad Robot folks constantly switching the movie title.

Then six actors showed up on the movie's IMDB page.
http://imdb.com/title/tt1060277

Then six MySpace pages for their characters showed up.

Lily - http://www.myspace.com/lily_ford
Hud - http://www.myspace.com/hudsonplatt
Rob - http://www.myspace.com/robbyhawkins
Jason - http://www.myspace.com/jj_hawkins
Beth - http://www.myspace.com/beth_mcintyre

Then sometime between Slusho showing up in "Alias"

and Slusho showing up in "Heroes"
http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/11/20/cloverfield-slusho-...
a Slusho website
http://slusho.jp
and Slusho commercial showed up.

Then one of the main characters, Rob Hawkins, announces on his MySpace blog that he's been given a job at Slusho...Hence the going away party that happens in the movie on 1.18.08.

(We also see his "brother" wearing a Slusho t-shirt in the "Cloverfield" clips.)

THEN somehow it "leaks out" that Slusho's parent company is called "Tagruato"
http://tagruato.jp
and their main business does deep sea drilling - in areas previously unexplored by man.

AND if you click on the map that shows where they're doing this deep sea drilling
http://tagruato.jp/deepsea2.php
and click the nearest point to NYC, it just happens to be the newest deep-sea station that's about to begin drilling.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Maybe someone woke up a big angry monster that lives beneath the sea...and it surfaces and goes towards the lights...of NYC. There's been a whole lotta buzz about "Cloverfield" http://current.com/topics/76014742_cloverfield ... more
