J.J. Abrams' Super 8

A lens-flaring light entity?

 

[Hunter Rider]

Bit of a Close Encounters feel to the poster.

AKA JJ Abrams?

JJ is the alien in his own alien movie?!?!

 

[SuperBatman]

I am pretty sure that the poster just sort of revealed what the creature is.

What a bunch of lights? Cause that's all I can see in that poster.

That explains why I saw him running down the street on all-fours yelling "Shna! Shna!" and whipping his hair back and forth.

Man, I really wish it was June already. I seriously can't wait!

 

[GhostPoet]

Is this a children's movie or not? ...This is a completely different vibe than the earlier trailers

Spielbergs films back then were for everyone. childen and adults. JJ has said that is the approach he is taking too.

 

[Fanticon]

new tv spot is sick! I can't wait for this. I don't want to be spoiled but i can taste it so bad, i just wanna see what the monster/alien is already.

No, those lights are making it seem as if the mysterious creature is from space.

 

[HighFivingMF]

I assumed that was a fact already because it was an "Area 51" movie.

 

[Poeman]

Wait so is this more like ET or a fusion of Sandlot kids going on a Goonies type of Adventure with a sprinkle of Cloverfield?

 

[Fanticon]

all of the above....with a touch of Making Contact...anybody? anybody? 80's movie... look it up!

 

[Figs]

I am pretty sure that the poster just sort of revealed what the creature is.

What do you think it is? Just looks like balls of light.

VIDEO: The Super 8 Train Sequence Clips Together

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=77783

Paramount Pictures has provided us with all four of the train sequence clips from J.J. Abrams' Super 8 which you can now watch in order below. Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Joel Courtney, Gabriel Basso, Noah Emmerich, Ron Eldard, Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee and Zach Mills star in the June 10 release.

In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth – something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.

For some reason this post made me LOL. I quess this movie is a bit of all of them from what I heard.

So this is a kids movie ( E.T)with a bit of cloverfield thrown in? Umm I am a fan of Spielberg and JJ but I hope this movie is'nt some watered down G or pg movie. I am hoping its at least pg 13.

Anyway, there is a cool iphone app out now that is basically promotion for the movie. It turns your phone into a Super 8 camera with all the effects you would want on it. Its pretty cool to make your own Super 8 movies. If you shoot video it might reveal clips from the movie. Best of all its FREE so If you have an Iphone 4 (like me) or a Iphone 3gs or 4 th gen ipod get it now in the app store!

 

[Hurm...]

I'm pretty sure it will be PG-13.

Remember that scene with the black guy, with blood all over, shouting "GO!" lol. I don't think that's PG.

The heroes are all kids, so technically it is a "kids" movie, but none of them are really classified as such.

It intrigues me. All i've seen so far is some sort of invisible creature or entity.

 

[ALP]

Absolutely reminds me of Spielberg's classic work from the late 70s and 80s. They don't make 'em like they use to. Hopefully this movie is as good as the hype.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I do think this movie will be something good. If anything, it could wind up as the best film of the summer. Who knows? I've been excited and intrigued since the teaser with IM2 last year.

 

[SPIDERMAN117]

Alright guy, this is SORTA, not really related to Super 8 but a few weeks ago Bad Robot and Channel One made a contest for High School Students to turn in a three min. long film showcasing your abilities as a filmmaker. I'd like to everyones input on the short film. Here it is, The Bench.
The story of a sons letter to his father.

Early Buzz: JJ Abrams’ ‘Super 8′

 

[kedrell]

Hey, he's not gonna go bonkers with all the lense flare crap again, is he? That just killed me in Star Trek(well that and the ridiculous villain plot). Hopefully he reigns himself in.

 

[Donut]

I loved Star Trek. But the lens flare was annoying as ****
