What's Aladygma?

Today theres a new strange Codename bubbling around the Net. It's called "Aladygma". So, we don't know if it is the Name of the sequel to Cloverfield. But it can, if the Codename is not fake, also be the Title to a new untitled covert film in the work of JJ Abrams. Among others a "supernatural project" like the guys from Movie Blog say.

The Cloverfield Monster – What we know so far! (First Videos on YouTube)

In recent night i can't sleep good 'couse of the temperature. So i made me thoughts about the Cloverfield Monster. What do we know so far?


1 – The first thing is, i think the monster can swim and it's a sea- or semi-sea creature. On the official poster we can see waves that go to New York City. This means that the monster can move under water - so it swims or walks on the sea floor. But i thought it swims ... that's more possible. 'Couse of that, i sum up, the Monster is not bird or a giant bug or something like that. It must be a thing that lives in the water or can survive in it ... like Godzilla and Cthulhu - but J.J. Abrams made clear that it's not Godzilla but "our own monster, and not King Kong, King Kong's adorable."


2 – It has claws! It's a speculation, but i think it's true. It seems that the Monster has claws. In the trailer we see the head of the Statue of Liberty falling down a street in the city. The head is not broken up, no, there is a clean cut at the neck. And at the Poster - the beheaded Statue - there is a deep cut in the body. No breakings from hard pressure, only a deep cut from a fast struck with a sharp blade or a claw.


3 – It's fucking huge. A real Hollywood-Monster must be huge! That's a rule! And in the trailer a guy screams "... it's alive, it's huge!" - and i believe this guy, he's from New York. And the New Yorker know what's "HUGE". However, did you here the scream of the monster?
It sounds a little bit like the tripods in War of the Worlds ... it's a deep and dark sound. It needs a very big body to produce a shaking tone like that. In the new trailer we see, that the thing must be a real giant. The soldiers shot upwards and we see the thing walking behind a skyscraper. Theres something that might be the legs (or a leg, or a wing ...) of the Monster ... and they are BIG!

4 - It has a TAIL! Yep, the Monster has a tail. In the new trailer theres a second in that you can see something moving on the ground, when the Monster vanishes behind a building. If you watch this picture for picture or in slow motion you see that this is a giant dinosaur like tail. A guy postet a video at photobucket in that you can see the tail clearly now.

5 – "It's alive", this is what the guy in the trailer screams. But what means that? In don't know. But i think it indicates that the monster is not a "Blob", a giant robot, a smoke monster or a giant Cheesburger.

Update:
Someone postet a picture of a possible Monster Concept Art at unfiction Forum! Looks a little bit like Godzilla ;-)

Update:
Another possbile Picture of the Monster - update: it's not the Monster.

Update:
According to Matt Reeves, the Director of Cloverfield, the Monster is and was not inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu.

Update:
Harry from Ain't it Cool has seen Cloverfield and says the Monster it's not like anything you’ve seen before.

I’m not sure, I think it might’ve been a four-legged beastie… it has a tail, it has teeth and freaky eyes like that horse that died in ANIMAL HOUSE. It’s kinda of a grayish-yellowish-off-white looking thing.

Update:
As Reviews and the Plot-Info at Wikipedia revealing, there is one big four legged Monster dropping large spider-like parasites which immediately attack nearby humans. At this time theres no picture of the monster leaked to the internet.

BIG UPDATE: Now, the first Videos of the Monster appeared on YouTube . They get deleted fast, so good luck. If one is deleted you can take UndeleTube for help.

Update:
Here's what the Wikipedia says about the Monster:
The monster appears to have been previously conceptualized as a sea monster, complete with "monster louse" who were crab-like creatures the size of people, which could drop off and act independently of the monster (Citation needed). There is an a body that appears to be invincible to conventional military attacks, including bombs, anti-aircraft rounds, or standard guns. It has chambers on the back of its head which appear to inflate and deflate with each intake of air. It has solid black eyes, and appears to be intelligent. At the end of the movie, the line "it's still alive" can be heard played in reverse, following the credits, so it can be assumed that a final attack from the military which leveled New York City did not hurt the monster. It has long, highly skinny legs, which appear crab-like in nature. It also has what might be considered parasites which drop off its body. These creatures appear spider-like, and there bites cause some sort of deadly infection in humans. The monster itself appears to come from the sea, since the original viral videos showed oil rigs and other sea based structures being attacked. At the beginning of the movie, the Statue of Liberty is attacked early on, which is near the ocean. It is speculated that there might be an entire species of the creatures somewhere at sea, whose habitat was disturbed, forcing them into contact with humans. However, the monster's body shows little evidence to indicate that it is not a land based creature.
