If you've seen the "Cloverfield" commercials then you know it's some kind of monster movie, but what kind? On the surface, it seems like another Godzilla movie, but when you really check it out the truth points elsewhere. (I know, I know, this is a fish blog. You'll see how this relates in a moment.)
In the commercial something big is obviously wreaking havoc, tossing the head of the statue of Liberty into the city street. However, there's also a brief clip of hazard suit garbed guys escorting a woman behind a bio-screen type curtain. This is what made me think that there is a main monster, but that it was created by some sort of parasitic infection. Then as I found stuff online about the movie, I've settled on this idea: the monster is some large sea creature somehow infected by [whatever], which comes ashore and somehow infects others. Something that big ain't gonna infect people by biting anymore than a Musky could infect a minnow by biting.
The big boy is an infected Blue Whale or Killer Whale which somehow mutates into being able to motivate across dry land, and pustules on it's skin allow the infectious parasites to escape. That's what I'm thinkin' anyway.
I found a cool 5 minute preview at a site discussing the movie, where I later saw a picture someone had drawn of what the creature will look like, and lo and behold, it has the head of a whale!
