Is Abrams’ Cloverfield/1-18-08 Really … Rampage the Movie???

Nix July 15, 2007 POSTED IN » Cloverfield (2008) Movie

Is J.J. Abrams’ top-secret monster movie, currently shooting under the fake title “Cloverfield” (or is that “1-18-08″?) really a live-action big-screen version of the side-scrolling monster game “Rampage”? I have no idea, but this guy makes a pretty good argument that it is. He says about his source for the theory: “I’m in no way involved and I am in no way expected to keep a sealed lid about it, but people who know people… claim that based upon the production’s paperwork, etc… they’ve figured it out.” So what the hell is this game Rampage about, and how could it possibly be Abrams’ “Coverfield”?

More from Imbeta.net:

So the questions remain, why the nifty marketing and mysterious angle? Well… if you know Rampage, you probably know why.

Since it is indeed a monster movie, that means your stars are not human, therefore the studio, in order to see it possibly being a watchable film, have to put a human angle in it. So we don’t hurt our brains and we can actually feel attached to the story.

If you know Rampage, you know that as far as plot… you might as well have these humans running around with cameras and experience it through their point of view. “Hey, I f*cking shot that!”

If you know Rampage, then you know you are dealing with 4 or 3 monsters, usually and definitely a giant Gorilla (George) and a giant Lizard (Lizzie?) and most often the Werewolf (Ralph)… and they go around the city destroying building, eating power up and tossing shit at each other. They indeed, walk upon a CLOBBER field.

So what do you think? Is “Cloverfield” actually “Rampage the Game” in disguise?

Here’s a video of what the game looks like:

    It definitely is Rampage, but it will be called slusho most likely. Go to http://slusho.jp/contest/sample/medium.html and look at all the little clues it leaves for you. Also, slusho is the drink in Rampage that turns people into monsters. There is absolutely no question it is a movie of the Rampage video game.

    I forgot to say that Slusho is also another working name for cloverfield. Go to IMDB.com and search slusho, see what movie appears when you do that.

    Well…for one thing the liklyness of this movie being based off a video game is close to half and half, but if you think about it there are some other videogames that might fit into this, tho rampage does fit into the puzzle better than the others. Here are some videogames that might fit into it aswell (if you got anyohter vidgames tell me)

    Rampage: That lady being held down while they yelled she was infected during the trailer was growing, and giant monsters wrecking the city, but that dosnt explain the clicking noise in one of the trailers when the kids are going thru, and no self-respecting movie other than a parody like Scary Movie or Epic Movie would have a human mutate into a monster by a drink.

    Halo: Well, the flood might fit into this, but that dosnt explain the monster or the fact that its not in the future but set in modern times.

    Half-life 2: It fits pretty good, with the ifections from Head Crabs (Or head humpers for those who want a laugh) that make you into a zombie, You got Striders (tri-pod ripoffs) but that dosnt explain the statue of liberty considering the fact that if you look at the statue in the poster, you can see claw marks on it, and how the hell is a strider suppost to leave those clawmakrs and ripoff a head with only 3 spider like legs?

    Area 51 (xbox version): This game has “The Grays” (aliens with the big heads and big eyes and not wearing clothes) that develop Giant Monsters that have the ability to spread a neuro-toxic that basicly turns you into some badass creature thats hard to explain (they resemble the things from I Am Legend tho), infact if you think about it this fits more than rampage.
