The ChimpanzIII is a Japanese science satellite that was seen briefly at the end of Cloverfield.
Description[]
Tagruato's subsidiary Bold Futura was involved in the hunt for a downed portion of the Japanese government's satellite ChimpanzIII. Bold Futura's satellite "Hatsui" was instrumental in the search and identification of the ChimpanzIII fragment off the coast of New York.[1]
However, due to the CLOVERFIELD events, efforts to retrieve the ChimpanzIII fragment have been postponed. Bold Futura has since been unreachable, having closed all lines of communication.[1]
Trivia[]
- J.J. Abrams has stated that the scene with the satellite was included in the film as a nod to those that followed the viral marketing campaign.
