The website
http://www.1-18-08.com/ contains these two pictures
and
On close examination of the first image, the major (and obvious) thing you can see is the white figure between the heads of the two girls. I cut it out and zoomed it in here
As I mentioned before, both Voltron and Godzilla are unlikely as Voltron is already in development by another studio (with another writer, the guy who is also writing the new Masters of the Universe movie) and Godzilla has been retired for the time being.
As for the other viral sites, JJ Abrams (the producer behind the project) sent a message to Harry Knowles at "Ain't it cool news" stating that
http://www.1-18-08.com/ is the official site for the project, and refuted claims that "other" viral sites (such as the Ethan Haas sites) are also part of their marketing campaign.
Regarding the online stuff you posted: yeah, we’re doing some fun stuff on the web. But, obviously, if the movie doesn’t kick some massive ASS, who gives a rat’s about what’s online? So as you can imagine, we’re focusing mostly on THAT. For what it’s worth, the only site of ours that people have even FOUND is the 1-18-08.com site. The others (like the Ethan Haas sites) have nothing to do with us. - JJ Abrams
There are even those who are going as far to say that the date isn't a date at all, but a biblical reference (and NO I don't want to start another biblical debate, just stating the reference)...
Revelations 1:18 -
"I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades."or
Revelations 18:8 -
"Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her."I think thats taking theory a tad too far myself as I don't see anything in the trailer that would indicate anything biblical (except maybe the Apocalypse), but if it were a bible reference I doubt the full 01-18-08 would be there...
I'm still hoping for a Cthulhu movie (or at least a Lovecraft based movie) that doesn't suck as bad as The Necronomicon or Dagon.
