Here's a pretty good analysis of the trailer from a dork writer (not me):

I'm a freelance journalist. This is probably the most coolest marketing ploy I've ever seen. I'm also a huge monster movie fan. Many Saturdays spent watching Creature Double Feature as a kid.

Godzilla has been done. The last one didn't do very well in the theateres. Don't think Paramount would take the risk.

I've solved the puzzles too, and done a lot of research since I saw the trailer last weekend. By deductive resoning I cast my vote for Cthulu. A creature steeped in mystery, ambiguity and arcane references. Also the name of the leader of The Order of Dagon, a parallel of Christianity but in a Satanic way, the demon god of the Sea.

Lovecraft's original story "Call of Cthulu" was short,(reads like a documentary) leaving plenty of room for embelishment. Cthulu has a huge cult following "Cthulu Mythos in Popular Culture." From games to toys to music (mentioned in lyrics by Metallica, Iron Maiden) since the story was published in 1928. Hampshire College in Mass. has a traditional even every May "Cthulu Night". A Cthulu cult that Some say Cthulu is synonymous for "extreme horror, evil, abject terror". Everyone from The Superfriends to Norse gods have battled him.

The creature is described as huge, part cephalopod part dragon (has a race of followers that look like it, think of Pirate's Davy Jones or Preditor). The major parts of the trailer include lots of fire, and the ominous head of the Statue of Liberty. Ellis Island is in the ocean and the head flys inland, whatever did it comes from the ocean. Also lot of ambiguity and references about Japan, the character is going to Japan, theres sushi at the party by one of his friends who appears to be of Japanese decent, lending credit to Godzilla, a misdirection.

In the Lovecraft story Cthulu is said to be imprisoned by giant statues (thus the attack in the Statue of Liberty) in the sunken city of R'lyeh in the South Pacific Ocean. It's alien, ancient followers, mystical symbols and languages (puzzles) Research Cthulu Mythos in Popular Culture and you'll see it all. Going to be a really cool movie. Hopefully it's rated R to do it justice, because the mythos is not kid's stuff. If done right this could be the rebirth of the Classic Monster Movie genre.

If you scroll over the star on the top right it gives a code. Which depicts the alphabet. I'm glad I'm bored at work because this is getting my imagination going!

And if you click on the orb with the symbols it gives you a pattern of symbols which probably spells out something. But I cant tell what symbols are on the orb. It is a 7 letter word and the last letter is "C"

Bad Robot is J.J. Abrams' (producers) production company. J.J. Abrams is the same guy that does Lost.
