I found this on Google. It is a very interesting text. Have a look and find out where does he come from and why is he in Manhattan!!


"Where Does He Come From?
J.J. Abrams, producer of Cloverfield, says, "The concept for the monster is simple. He's a baby. He's brand-new. He's confused, disoriented and irritable. And he's been down there in the water for thousands and thousands of years."

So, essentially, he is a 1000+ Jahr old baby. That's some baby!

According to some theories, the monster was disturbed Von the work of Tagruato, a deep sea drilling operation and owner of Slusho, a corporation that makes high-energy drinks. If you'll remember, Rob Hawkins was to leave for Japan as he was named the VP of marketing of some company. That company? Slusho. While I've found no indication that this was ever mentioned in the film, it was mentioned on the character's MySpace page.

Another theory is that Tagruato was somehow using the monster for this operation. I find this theory to be a little farfetched, but Du never know.

Why Is He In Manhattan?
He heard that there was a great sale on Manolo Blahniks.

As was sagte above, theories regarding Tagruato disturbing the monster from either a slumber oder its Home seem to be the most prevalent.

According to the viral marketing campaign, the monster's first attack wasn't actually Manhattan, but at one of the corporations deep sea oil drilling stations off the coast of Connecticut. While the news clip released Von Paramount doesn't state that it's a monster that attacked (in fact, it is blamed on an extremist group Von the name of Tidowave), it's pretty obvious Von some of the clues gegeben in the clip that this was the awakening of the monster."
