"It's 'Voltron' for a number of reasons," argued aztecsaxwarrior, referencing a supposed big-screen version of another '80s cartoon. "Some feel the line yelled out in the trailer is 'It's a lion!' as opposed to 'It's alive!' Also, one of the writers for the Voltron movie, in an interview, has already indicated 'Voltron' will take place in Manhattan.".

The quotes around that graf are because we're quoting the guy named "aztecsaxwarrior." It's just one of the many dubious online rumors that we collected in that article. The truth of the film lies much closer to the AICN post.

http://www.ethanhaaswasright.com/ apparently is part of their campaign.
Dunno why Paramount is so hard on bootlegs of that teaser.

Hmm pretty interesting about your post
...war came, no longer from the elemental nor from the star's rain of fire. The world was again remade, and the glow was as the coming of the sun upon the Earth. The children of the gods were again too few, scattered and divided and among them walked the ancients and those whose thoughts were not as to the towers and the marvels, but to the End and the destruction of the Earth and to the fires from which nothing could escape.

From the official 1-18-08 website...
Now, if you notice, between the two girls...
It appears to be a small creature of some sort, perhaps with a tail reaching down to the end of the picture. By zooming in, you can make out a triangular face, with two large ears, as well as a rather "normal" face: eyes, nose, mouth. There also seems to be a tiny body of some sort.
Now, I realize everything I have just posted may be a bit skewed, seeing as though I am quite tired, and my veins are running on little more than a single-malt Scotch and some popcorn.

GIRL: "What it is it, is it coming this way?"
GUY: "fast garble.....look at the size of the light, it's huge"
Don't think 'lion' is what is being said.
As for the photo.Wonder if 12:36A is some sort of clue?

Looks like the makings of an Alternate Reality Game, similar to I Love Bees, 'Art is Resistance', The Lost Experience, and a few others.
You can read about the premiere ARG company, 42 Entertainment. And read/watch the videos of the work they do .

I'm going to guess it has something to do with Cthulhu. Or at the very least I can hope for something like that.

Its not Voltron, that movie is already in the works.
I initially thought Godzilla when I heard the sound...but then I was thinking it would be pretty damn hard to keep a new movie in that franchise a secret. Then when I read that this movie was low budget I ruled out Godzilla.
What ever it is the marketing campaign is working damn well so far. All this speculation and it doesnt come out for months.
Got me thinking...wouldn't it be crazy if this, or some future movie, was kept so underwraps that no one knew anything about it until the day it opens. Imagine the hype! I know its impossible but that would just be nuts if choppy home movies is all we see of this until right up to the release date.

Either way, these websites have got me way more excited than that trailer. But I'm a sucker for ARG.
Edit: Now I notice that several of the Cthulhu comments are from a poster called Abdul Alhazred, which is the name of the Mad Arab that wrote the dreaded Necronomicon in Lovecraft's writing. This user has been on blogspot since...July 2007. So now I'm slightly more inclined to believe that the film itself could very well be Cthulu related.

There is some newly updated info on IMDB
its not Godzilla. Sony owned the rights til 2003, when they then reverted back to Toho. This movie is being made by Paramount. They would have to have bought the rights and that would have been public by now.
its not The Host remake. Again, this is a Paramount project. The Host remake is Universal
its not Voltron either. Voltron is Universal. They also mention the Voltron rumors only started because the line 'Its alive! Its huge' in the trailer is misinterpreted as 'Its a lion! Its huge'
they also mention 1/18/08 is the approximate date for the new season of Lost!! A point is also made that the monster in the trailer sounds a lot like the smoke monster on Lost.
Anyways, I hope they keep this a mystery for a long time
