A fourth photo has been released on 1-18-08 for the J.J Abrams Project.  This one clears up some of the guesses I made for the third photo.  There is a clearly a man in a military uniform surrounded by civilians, so my assumption from the previous photo was correct.  This one is interesting because everyone seems to be facing in the same direction, whereas the previous photo the civilians seemed to be running away from the explosion/monster/destruction and the military was running towards it.  Perhaps this man was put on crowd control duty. 

Again I want to point out the time stamp of 1:24A, thirty six minutes after the previous photo.  This brings up an interesting theory about how the story will be told that I have alluded to before, but have not explicitly said.  When I saw the first two photos I mentioned that it would be very cool to be watching the movie at the first 12:01 showing of the film on 1-18-08.  So far all of the photos are within a two hour time frame, could this story be told in continuous real time?  There are a couple of rumors out there that would suggest otherwise (flashback filming locations), but everything we have seen from the official trailer and websites follow a format that could support this method.  

Also, rumor has it there will be huge news regarding the film this week at the Paramount ComiCon press conference.  The title of the film is supposed to be revealed so we will no longer have to refer to it as the J.J. Abrams project codenamed Cloverfield (perhaps if you like that title you can call it “the film previously known as…”).
