What if he handcuffs her to the bed because he saw the news footage of the spider monsters attacking the soldiers and doesn't know if she's infected or bitten or something

Something like that, I think the brace is handcuffed to the wall, she takes it off and explores the place alone with the crutch before someone stops her reaching the door. I think the situation outside won't be seen by her to start with, it'll be explained to her less reliably.

Also, the fire starts seemingly on its own from the cord of the lamp shorting out, but there's already an accelerant of some sort on the floor.

She won't even open the outside door, the final shot will be a close up of her shocked face looking at whatever is on the other side of the window.
JJ Abrams is a genius.
Good summary.
At this point, I can't tell if "Cloverfield" will be a new anthology type brand name like "Twilight Zone" or "Outer Limits" where every story is different. Or if "10 Cloverfield Lane" is actually a direct sequel set in the same universe as the 2008 "Cloverfield" movie.
There will be so much mis-direction with the marketing going around for these next 2 months.
BUT the IMAX release, implies, at least to me it does, that this isn't just some low budget 5 million dollar movie with the 3 characters stuck in a bomb shelter for the entire movie. So whether it's a direct sequel or something new, IMO there is more to the movie than that bomb shelter.

Ohh this will be fun. Hopefully the marketing is just as good as the original.
I wonder if people will start visiting these addresses looking for clues to an ARG.
So which one is it? My guess is Texas.

pretty much, the line in the poster is basically saying humans (john goodman the god) can be monsters so thats what the movie will be about
hell i bet it happens during cloverfield or right at the beginning, and goodman tells his neighbors? niece or nephew ? to get into the bunker and that shake/ bomb is when they shoot bombs at the monster

Why would he keep one though?
Maybe it's in pieces, or is a heavily mangled corpse.

I do hope it's not just three in a barn though. Or
, which is what it seemed to be. I'm guessing this is basically
. Assuming it even is a sequel of any kind, and not a side-story of some other kind.
I won't pretend that the first one was all that great and all, but one thing it did have was overwhelmingly solid sound design. The fact that the sounds continue no matter where the cast is and so on is what's great about it. Aside from linking it an ARG which made it seem like a bigger deal than just a monster movie (which it is).
subway / bomb shelter
the aftermath of (creature still alive) or during the first movie. Kind of what happens when some giant unkillable (how would that even work?) thing takes over the surface

What's in the?barrel
That barrel, plus the gloves he's putting on makes me think it's something toxic. I'm immediately thinking of the acid they used in Breaking Bad and such, that can be used to dissolve humans and is only safe to carry in plastic.
I didn't see anybody post the poster?
The tagline and the image definitely make me think that the movie takes place in the cellar, and that Goodman is the "monster"
edit: I guess it was added to the OP at some point. Haven't looked at that since last night.

Well, it's either that or a magical unicorn. Take your pick.
I'm sort of surprised they announced this in January though. I mean, this 13 hours thing is a 'January' (you know why) movie?

What else could that tagline mean though? If we were taking it at face value, I think everyone would agree that it's referring to a human, possibly Goodman.
I guess it's different here because we are all trying to look for a hidden meaning behind everything. But they can't make every part of their marketing some big twist..
Eh. Goodman could be a Monster or what he's saying is the truth.

Perhaps the twist is that while the one form of a monster (that the trailer/tagline are referring to) is human, the other is a giant city-wrecking kaiju
I don't doubt that he's also telling the truth. But that tag line "comes in many forms" doesn't usually mean "these monsters have different shapes".
I also don't think it's necessarily ONLY Goodman being a monster of a person. I'm just saying I think that's what the tagline is referring to, which IMO means that it will focus mainly on their interaction with him before then showing real monsters.
Yea, this is what I mean.
Man I'm so excited for this movie. Love a good monster movie and a psychological thriller so no matter what I should be happy here.

Holy shit, what.
Great trailer, but reading more details about the movie makes me think there aren't gonna be much (any?) monsters on screen.
A psychological horror of the bunker being attacked by shit from outside could be cool, since I'm assuming that trailer isn't in chronological order at all and she probably doesn't leave.

Possibly, but the trailer seems to show that, so ... in true Abrams' misdirection form, that's probably not it.
Or it is.
Hell, I don't know.
It's a misdirection of the misdirection. God dammit Abrams..

I was just redoing some plumbing in one of my bathrooms and while looking at the pipe I noticed the name Valencia as we know is a code name for the film.
JJ Abrams is stealth releasing a new Mario brothers movie with John Goodman as Mario, John Gallagher as Luigi, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Peach. Thats why Winstead is shocked when she looks out at the door, its because she see's Bowser which gives credence as to why John Goodman doesn't want her to open the door. So its actually not Cloverfield 2 but Mario Brothers 2.Boom another case solved.
I thought huh what a funny coincidence then it dawned on me. The L in the poster is a giant pipe..
I began thinking even more and then it hit me. What other popular entertainment medium features pipes? Thats right Mario Brothers.

Pretty sure MEW is gonna wind up being the monster they reference in the poster.
Think about it. Twisting misdirection all over the place.
MEW is in a car wreck. Blacks out. Goodman saves her and takes her into his bunker, where he's living due to fallout from the events of Cloverfield. MEW wakes up and gets fed what she sees as a load of shit by some crazy fuck about nuclear fallout and chemical weapons. With MEW as the main character we as the audience side with her, thinking that maybe Goodman is full of shit after all. Then at the end she breaks free, opens the door to the bunker and oh shit, he was right the whole time, something gets into the bunker (gas, monster, whatever) and it's all because of her actions that they all die.
JJ said it is a blood relative, that's as close as we've come. So not a direct sequel but not something new. Spinoff.

Looks a lot better than the first one already.
EDIT: Also, how fucking cool would it be if this movie had this Take Shelter thing going on where the audience doesn't even know if there is shit out there or not and if John Goodman is lying. Then, during the actual movie, you find out it's some Cloverfield monster shit. Of course, at this point, the trailer basically spoils that it's science fiction of some kind. But how could would that be. From Psycho Thriller to Sci-Fi Thriller, audience none the wiser until the big reveal. Oh, a man can dream.

Since it's has Cloverfield in its name it wouldn't be much of a reveal.

John Goodman was Cloverfield the whole time
What if Cloverfield and the Big Lebowski take place in the same universe.
It would only be a twist if there wasn't any sci-fi stuff, but honestly the twist doesn't really fully work either way, so i'm guessing it's probably both a sci-fi threat and a 'humans are the real monsters' kind of thing. I'm also guessing the nature of outside threat is something very different this time and not just Godzilla again.
