Origin of the 'Cloverfield' Monster Revealed... IN MOVIE!

I know some of you are going to scream "NO DUH" but this flew right by me and I completely missed it. There has been a lot of speculation on where the monster from Cloverfield (reviews) originates from and some of our questions were answered in the background of the film. I don't want to spoil it for those of you who haven't seen it yet, or just want to discover it for yourself, so read on if you want to know what happens.


This evening I went to check out Paramount's CLOVERFIELD once again and while enjoying a seat next to the one covered in vomit (seriously) both Slice and I noticed something interesting in the background of one of the scenes of the film. Highlight the following for the details:

In the FINAL, FINAL scene of the film we see Beth and Rob on a ferris wheel at Coney Island. He pans the camera to his left to shoot the ocean and if you look to the far right of the screen you will see what appears to be the monster falling out of the sky and into the water (see image here). IN AN UPDATE: B-D reader 'afireinside' tells us, "JJ stated himself that the monster has been down at the bottom of the ocean for thousands of years. What fell into the ocean at the end of the movie was a satelitte. If you pay attention to the viral marketing, Taragutu's site states that one of their satelittes fell out of orbit and was lost. This is what woke up the monster from its dormant state." You be the judge....

In addition, at the end of the credits an audio clip reveals that the monster is not yet dead.


So there you have it, official proof for those of you dying to know. Now it;s time to go see it yourself unless someone wants to e-mail me a screengrab or upload a clip to BDTV.

CLOVERFIELD is set to make nearly $40 million this weekend, with more through MLK day.

You do see the monster chrisby? I think they do an excellent job at showing you the monster when it's all from a single camera. You get full shots, a good close up, really everything without having too much. SO GLAD this movie is doing as well as it is. It was so original and different . LOLL I didn't notice the the drop in the water at the end when I went to the midnight showing Thursday night but Friday when I woke up apparently everyone else did and was talking about it. I was like what, water, when? I gotta go see it again SOON now.

yes I saw that scene and saw that object that fell from the sky into the water. That explains where it came from.

The satellite didn't wake up the monster. The company apparently went down into the ocean trenches to search for their satellite, which awoke it. If the falling satellite woke the monster, why did it take a few weeks to come out and attack on land?

This picture is about 30% correct... The monster in the movie is fucking wicked looking, almost like something out of "Gears of War"

the monster in the movie was like a gorilla face with long arms sharp teeth this pic is mostly correct cloverfield doest give us a good shot at the back. CANT WAIT TIL VIRAL MARKETING FOR CLOVERFIELD 2 AT THE END OF THE MOVIE IT SAYS HELP US BUT PLAYED BACKWARDS IT SAYS HELP US

this is no cloverfield 2! even if they make iti will refuse to acknowlage it existance, by doing so they ruin the first one.damn america and the constant whoring of theything sacred good thing the writers are still on strike lol

I usually agree some sequels ruin movies, but what I've read about this one could be that this wasn't the only video being shot that night. So the sequel would be the same night. Which could still be bad, but could be cool.

sequels doint ruin the first that it just stupid,and even thought i am writing, you guys have too much time on your hands. Plus it looks nothing like that pic. THat looks like the host too much. The moster is in no way reptilian and is skinny. Its head is under its front arms walks kind of like a spider. It has a tail but doesnt seem to use its back legs too much. also, it would be cool i guess, with a dif cam and diff people. But it would have similar results and it would still be alive so i doint know about that. anyway iam not reeves so its not up too me but unless it kicks ass, the thought is a downer.

yes this image is not Exactly accurate i seen the movie on opening day you see the monster close to the end but after about the first 30 mins you only see parts like an arm the tail that knocks the bridge down the foot that stomps the tank and shit like that but i still enjoyed it only wish it wasn't filmed entirely first person shot like the movie was .

No, this image is a bit off... especially in the head. Anyway, I'm really responding to the always reliable chrisby, who, as usual, has jumped to wild and inane conclusions that seem to be pulled from thin air. OF COURSE YOU GET TO SEE THE MONSTER IN THE FILM! Where in the blue hell did you get the idea that you don't?!?!?!? You don't listen to what people tell you, you never read what is written, and your comments on most topics seem to indicate that you rarely actually see any of the movies covered on B-D... all of which would be fine, if you didn't always feel the need to work yourself into a rage over things you've made up in your own head and come here to piss on people's parades. Which brings me to rainbowblack's odd anti-capitalism, anti-sequel rant. CLOVERFIELD barely scratches the surface of this story, and the ending certainly doesn't conclude the beast's rampage. How would continuing the story ruin it? We're not talking about making up stuff to cash in; we're talking about telling the rest of the tale. Oh well. I guess you have to have somewhere to complain about America, so why not pick a monster movie comment section?

A) You see the monster quite clearly...B) The above image has some of the qualities but the armorred spine and head are definately different. A better description for the head would be the space slug from Empire Strikes Back on serious amounts of acid. C) The movie is worth a look, if only for the ass whoopin laid on Manhatten

I think this movie was great... awesome filming which gave you the impression that this really happened. Doubts that a sequel will come to explain the full story, if anything it'll be on the extra features when the dvd is released. Maybe it'll be a news cast of months after the attack with further details like how Dawn of the Dead did while the infestations occur.


F.N.G.

I agree that this was a great film. When the end of the flick came i felt a little violated because I wanted more. But all in all i think this one is a stroke of genius. this reminds me of Alien..You didnt see much of the creature in the first one but it made people come back for more in Aliens. Unanswered questions are guaranteed return. I think the sequel for Cloverfield will be excellent if they stay on track. It is worth seeing. Chrisby is not a true Horror fan. JKROUSKOP...I like your style.

I believe that a sequel could be filmed in a traditional fashion, not so much on a first person thing, since at the start of the film NO SPOILERS HERE (it's in the trailer) you get the idea that someone recovered the camera, so we might get the answers of the creature origins, and some more things...

SATELLITE FELL THE SKY - A COMBINATION OF SLUSHO DRILLING & JAPANESE SEARCHING OCEAN FOR SATELLITE CAUSED MONSTER TO AWAKEN. THAT DRAWING DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE THE MONSTER... AND ONLY A MORON WOULD THINK THE MONSTER DROPPED OUT OF THE FUCKING SKY

Like I said before. Just overblown hype.
