Can You Read Japanese? 'Cloverfield' Website Update
Sunday, September 30, 2007

Comments

Today the official website for Cloverfield - the still untitled JJ Abrams film - has been updated with a new image and some clues. If you head to the site you'll see an image of a Japanese chef, just take your mouse and move it really quickly left and right and the image will flip over revealing some writing in Japanese. If you know what it says, leave a comment below! The film is a giant monster movie (a parasite) shown on cheap cameras from regular people's perspective. A few weeks ago we were informed that the film might be titled "WRECK" and are still awaiting confirmation.

I believe the monster is a giant mutated rat. The reasons why are: 1. J.J. Abrams calls the monster the Parasite - Rats are parasitic animals. 2. The picture of the chef in the kitchen - Rats are always infesting kitchens, and in Japan they even eat rats. 3. Two of the fake titles for the film were "Cheese" and "Chocolate" which Rats LOVE to eat. 4. New York is known for it's rats. 5. If Slusho is the reason why the "parasite" is mutated and it is in the ocean, rats are in the sewer line in NYC, which leads to the ocean, meaning that rats could have drank it and became mutated. 6. In an interview with Movieweb.com, JJ Abrams says "I don't give a RATS what people think about this movie, I know THAT it will kick ass. - is he hinting something here? 7. What about that Roar? Rats don't Roar, do they? Actually, Rats emit short, high frequency, ultrasonic, socially induced vocalization during rough and tumble play. - As it says on Wikipedia.org 8. In the trailer someone yells "its alive, its huge" - people don't expect to see a rat of this size. This is just my opinion, and here is the translation for the back of the Chef card: Thank you for checking us out! We are Introducing this week's tasty one dish. Make sure you eat it cold! Skinless chicken breast - 2, cut in halves Sōmen noodles - 10 oz. Watercress - 1/2 cup cut into small strips Turnip - 1/2 cup, thinly sliced Shiitake Mushrooms - 1/2 cup Chicken stock - 1/3 cup Sake - 2 tbsp. Sugar - 1/2 tsp. Deep Sea Nectar - 1 pinch In a small saucepan, stir together 1/3 cup water, chicken stock, sake, and sugar. Chill it until it becomes cold. Grill the chicken breast on both sides for about 8 minutes, and then chill. Boil the noodles for about 3 minutes, and then run under cold water until chilled. Mix the watercress, radish, and mushrooms into the sōmen. Slice the chicken thinly and arrange on top of the sōmen mix. Just before you serve, put the deep sea nectar in the sauce and pour over the noodles generously. Go Go Delicious Chef!

Abrams has already dismissed the fact that early reports have called it a parasite. He said pretty clearly at Comic-Con, "It is not a parasite" and he has said so within EW.

It looks like some recipe for the dish that the chef is holding on the cooking sheet.

Lying doesn't appear to be his MO, though. Clues, yes. The "parasite" thing was first mentioned because of Drew at AICN.

That's just you. What your seeing in that picture is just the persons hair with light hitting it. Besides, if the creature was behind them why would they be facing the other way, it's not like a creature of that size could sneak up on them.

It may sound kinda stupid, but I think the monster is some sorta big mutant whale. If you go to the Slusho! website, it mentions whales an odd number of times. If you go to the "Happy Talk" section, little animals will say quotes. Occasionally one will pop up and say something like "You guys rock, I am a whale." I dunno. Probably wrong, but who knows any better at this point.

Rats? No way. Besides, we do not need another Food of the Gods. And rats are not parasites, they're mammals.

MFCMK...rats are scavengers, NOT parasites! Parasites live their life feeding off (or inside of) a host animal, rats do not do this. Now, this ingredient listed on the recipe..."Deep Sea Nectar". I believe this is the ocean harvested "secret ingredient" supposed to be in the Slusho beverages as well. Whatever "it" is, the Deep Sea Nectar is the key to the monster!

well i think its something to do with the mythical creature chimera. It has the front of a lion, middle of a goat and back end of a dragon. one of the heads breathes a terrible fire according to homer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(mythology) a fter you read up on the link above rewatch the teaser and listen to the noises the beast makes. The middle souind is a lion but the other 2 sounds donrt sound like a lion. anyway thats my theory.

I heard a sea creature noise but mutated sounding on the website for the movie, but to hear it you have to wait 8-10 minutes for the sound to happen, cause it was random but creepy sounding in a way. But it has to be from japan or something cause thats the main clue with the recipe and then its got the godzilla like feel to it, so who knows, but my best bet is a huge sea creature that can walk on land and breathe under water.

In reference to DAVROS and his Targuato corp. (http://tagruato.jp/history.php) findings. This set (力の手) seems to be previlant throughout the main page of the site. I did a little searching and BabelFish translates 力の手 = The Hand of Power. So that would mean the original name of the Targuato corporation was The Hand of Power. Hrm....
