I'm still excited about this film, but thats slowly being replaced by a healthy dose of dread.
First off, JJ Abrams. Nuff said.
Second, I fear I've been looking into the ARG and every bit of info I can get on this thing. I am going to call it now. The monster is a giant, genetically modified human/whale. The mini monsters are proportionally large whale lice, which means they would be about 6' tall.
How do I hit these conclusions? Well, if you get into this at all, the ARG, which generally reveals plot points, all show three distinct trends: Giant whales (look at the Slusho history if you ever get so inclined), Genetics/gene splicing, and a popular drink that happens to use "deep sea nectar," which I'm guessing has a similar mechanic to the slugs in BioShock. The result? Giant mutants and people getting sick and changing. I'm taking a wild guess and saying that the one bulging/screaming woman in the tent in the trailer is either infected or changing due to this stuff.
I have a permanent boner for this movie. D: Hell, Keeper even has the form of the 'I wish this monster was the slusho! monster' from the forums on there, on Taps.
