Super 8 (2010)

[TJ Wells]

New J.J. Abrams produced film's trailer (which comes to theaters in a locked case that cannot be opened before midnight Thursday) will premiere before screenings of Iron Man 2.

This is widely speculated to be Cloverfield 2.

[Whalejaw]

Well I'm certainly intrigued.

[TJ Wells]

"audiences basically walk out after two hours of amazing Iron Man action talking about a two minute trailer as the most exciting thing they saw"

[Guern1ca]

:gunhead:

[stayillogical]

:celebrate:

[Mibabalou]

whoooo

jj is a genius

[popdisaster00]

This is the first thing that makes me want to see Iron Man 2 on opening weekend now.

I wish I was as cool as JJ.

[PlayNiceKids]

This offically got me pumped. Now i have to take a final. Fuck

[wall e]

Holy shit.

[domotime2]

pooped my pants

[bladerdude360]

That's a pretty cool idea.

[*crying stars*]

Freaking Abrams.

[flask]

awesome. the cloverfield trailer was the best part of transformers.

[yoyostring]

yes yes yes yes

[IAmNietzche]

Cloverfield sucked ass.

[Star Slight]

Very excited. I'm a sucker for viral marketing and giant monsters. I hope pictures start appearing on the sites soon after.

[TJ Wells]

Cloverfield sucked ass.
Couldn't disagree more, but to each their own.

[DaveFeelsRight]

i hated the movie but liked the viral marketing around it. weird combo, i know.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Hellllyeaahhh

[poppa Q]

Fuck yeah.

[IAmAmazing]

Ohhhhh fuck.

[poppa Q]

Kinda hope it's an entirely new project, but I wouldn't mind it being Cloverfield 2.

[Gaugzilla]

awesome. the cloverfield trailer was the best part of transformers.

Agreed.

i hated the movie but liked the viral marketing around it. weird combo, i know.

Yea. The thing about the trailers and viral marketing is you didn't have to deal with the shitty characters built around the story. The monster stuff was really cool but the doofus running the camera in the movie made me want to body slam Mr. Abrams.

[drudo182]

Couldn't disagree more, but to each their own.

Haha, are you really surprised he even said that in the first place? I sure as hell am not.

Anyways, can't wait to see this thing. Just a bigger incentive to go see Iron Man 2 now.

[IAmNietzche]

I'm glad you've come to expect me to speak the truth about shitty movies.

I'm glad you've come to expect me to speak the truth about shitty movies.

Nah, I just know what you'd probably like or not like. It's nothing personal.

[Thomas Balkcom]

yeah I would have guessed that you weren't a fan of Cloverfield, Dan.

[fake empire]

This is awesome.

[FueledByRock]

Actually pretty excited for this. I loved the first one.

[dundermifflin]

i'm kinda hoping it's not cloverfield 2, i wanna see some new jj abrams mystery/horror shit!

[ActorInThisPlay]

Cloverfield was so good. excited for a possible 2nd one. dude definitely knows how to create buzz for his films.

[HogarthHughes]

As if I wasn't already pumped to see Iron Man 2, this has definitely multiplied my excitement. Anything Abrams does is gold to me.

[BornUnderPunches]

in the video when he's talking about the tissue box, I can't help but think about the ICP video.

[billyboatkid]

Interesting. I hope it's something cool.

[ImTheSheriff]

really hope it's not cloverfield 2

[WakingTheMisery]

Star Trek 2.

[ImTheSheriff]

i feel like it's something completely new.

[WakingTheMisery]

In all honesty though, I hope this is a Cloverfield film recorded on a super 8. Have the whole thing in black and white and use it as an alien/experiment origin story. Everyone will hate that.

[Chemical Love]

[WakingTheMisery]

Hm. Guess I called that.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Still sounds interesting.

[flask]

I hope its for the Area 51 movie, but I dont think JJ Abrams was producing that one.

[popdisaster00]

Whether that means it's a cloverfield prequel or something entirely new, I am stoked either way

[Mibabalou]

did this get revealed yet?

(spoilers)

Here is OFFICIAL news that doesn't spoil:

* I can confirm that it is not a Cloverfield sequel or prequel.
* It is written and directed by JJ Abrams.
* Yes, produced by Steven Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment (not Dreamworks).
* And it takes place in the late 1979.

[Guern1ca]

Thank fuck it's not Cloverfield 2. That means I can be excited.

[Kowalski]

I loved Cloverfield. I got sucked into the viral marketing and watched that movie too many times to count. But I'm really glad this new thing isn't about anything Cloverfield. I hope this will be worth the wait cause I'm real excited to see another mysterious trailer from JJ.

[colorlesscliche]

Just watched Cloverfield last night, awesome movie.

[popdisaster00]

Did you guys read the spoilers? I think it sounds awesome. If it's anything like late 70s/early 80s spielberg, I think it will be awesome.

[ImTheSheriff]

Did you guys read the spoilers? I think it sounds awesome. If it's anything like late 70s/early 80s spielberg, I think it will be awesome.

it sounds pretty sweet.

[popdisaster00]

I assume the trailer will be online by tomorrow morning anyway.

[colorlesscliche]

I read the spoilers, but I'll wait until tomorrow night in the theatre to watch the trailer.

[Mibabalou]

i mean when i can see the vid tomorrow?

[Mibabalou]

all 1979 reminds me of is the mewithoutyou song

[colorlesscliche]

Love playing that song.

[popdisaster00]

i mean when i can see the vid tomorrow?
All I was saying is that if the trailer starts playing tonight at Iron Man midnight showings, I just expect that it will make it's way online by Friday morning/afternoon.

[poppa Q]

I think I'll wait to watch the trailer in theaters. JJ makes my __ hard.

[IAmNietzche]

clit

[Guern1ca]

baby dick

[poppa Q]

Leave the synonyms outta here, DK. I only want serious replies!

[flask]

sounds cool. though i kind of wish i hadn't read it now. sounds like something that would get me excited the first time i saw it. the great thing about the cloverfield trailer was it came out of nowhere.

Looks awesome. I can't wait.

[Star Slight]

=[ Not new cloverfield.
Still looks pretty great. I hope theres a viral campaign.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

Probably won't get as much talk like Cloverfield did, but still looks interesting.

[pshh]

i've had the biggest hardon since this news you guys...

[Shakriel]

I'm hit and miss on JJ Abrahms stuff, but since this isnt Cloverfield 2, I'm excited. Still more excited to see Iron Man 2 of course.

[HogarthHughes]

I really wanted to wait until I saw Iron Man 2 to see this trailer, so that it would hopefully have the same effect of the Cloverfield trailer. However, I caved and watched it, and it looks amazing. Can't wait for this.

[vivatoto56]

Pretty goddamned intense trailer.

BIG TIME TIMMY JIM!

[Thomas Balkcom]

they did not show the trailer prior to my screening of Iron Man 2.

[Kowalski]

Just got back from seeing Iron Man 2. I don't know how I feel about the teaser, though. I think if I didn't hear about this teaser ever existing I might have found it so much more exciting, but seeing it was slightly disappointing. Not too much excitement from the rest of the audience either. I hope there's some viral marketing for this, get me pumped for it like how I was for Cloverfield. Doubt it, but it would be nice. Still, I think this is going to be one wild movie. I'm definitely seeing it.

[DaveFeelsRight]

they did not show the trailer prior to my screening of Iron Man 2.yup, same.

[Gaugzilla]

they did not show the trailer prior to my screening of Iron Man 2.

Me neither. But thank Jesus we got the Twilight:Eclipse trailer. That poor little indie needed more promotion.

Still, I think this is going to be one wild movie. I'm definitely seeing it.

Judging by the teaser I saw online, it wasn't as jarring or that interesting of a trailer as Cloverfield was. That put you right in it immediately and was complete surprise because the thing didn't even have a real name yet but was a good six months away from being released.

This is still a year(!?) away from being released (thus making possibly the earliest trailer ever) and I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't even halfway through principle photography. It seems like maybe they should have waited a little bit to have better footage and not start the hype machine up so early. Just my thoughts.

[DaveFeelsRight]

Me neither. But thank Jesus we got the Twilight:Eclipse trailer. That poor little indie needed more promotion.my crowd was awesome. they booed the entire twilight trailer and cheered for toy story haha

[Gaugzilla]

Haha. Yea, we booed it too. Didn't get Toy Story though, we got Inception, Robin Hood, Grown Ups and Twilight.

[DaveFeelsRight]

Haha. Yea, we booed it too. Didn't get Toy Story though, we got Inception, Robin Hood, Grown Ups and Twilight.we got toy story, tron, inception and twilight.

[flask]

we got toy story, tron, inception and twilight.

Damn I have yet to see the Tron or Inception trailers on a big screen. We got Super 8 though. Definitely wasn't as exciting as Cloverfield but i think thats because i knew this one was coming. Will be there at midnight to see it.

[-Aaron-]

Thank fuck it's not Cloverfield 2. That means I can be excited.

Truer words have not be typed.

[popdisaster00]

Remember the old days when the internet wasn't so powerful, and seeing the trailers at the movie theaters were always new and exciting? Haha, times have changed.

Yeah, principle photography starts this fall. You're right, Abrams should have waited. It was only, I think, a month ago that I read about his homage to Spielberg movie so I didn't expect this teaser to be it--too soon. However, I'm sure Abrams knows what he's doing. I got faith in him!

[Kowalski]

my crowd was awesome. they booed the entire twilight trailer and cheered for toy story haha

Hahaha that sounds fucking amazing. I wish my crowd was that awesome!

[Mibabalou]

i hope this is good, not like a shit alien movie aka crystal skulls

[vaguestcargo]

Okay this is a long shot, but is there any, ANY chance that this could be a "superheroes bred/kept/captured/held" at Area 51 movie? Like the title "Super 8" isn't as obvious as it sounds?

I'm looking for a twist, and a reason to give a shit about another alien movie... and this crossed my mind after seeing the trailer...

I would actually like that less than aliens.

I think Speilberg and Abrams are working on this together because they both started out as kids making home movies with super 8 cameras, so they have that in common. So they're expanding on that idea of what it would be like if some kids were filming with super 8 cameras around their town, just messing around and having fun, and captured something on tape. In this case, an alien.

But it doesnt seem like it was shot first person, if the actual movie is shot like the trailer was, so I dunno if we're looking at another Cloverfield style film.

It just really seems like a ton of hype for a decently unoriginal idea. Unless it has a decent district 9 perspective twist, anyway.

For some reason, this reminds me of the alien camera footage in Signs, which was one of the best parts of the movie.

If you really want to know what they are going for here, it's to be the next predecessor of Jaws and E.T.

So am I. I feel like this is going to be the point in which Abrams becomes a household name like Spielberg.

HIDDEN STUFF IN THE TRAILER!
I'm so giddy.

first off, HD trailer:
iPcta5V5dA0&feature=player_embedded

Theres some creepy images at the end of the trailer. The big thing is a message that says "scariestthingieversaw"

Here's "Super 8 News", a site which is covering all the hidden shit as its found.

I don't understand how people have that much time.

[Drew Beringer]

It's not that no one cares, I think it has to do with the fact that this movie is still at least a year away.

[popdisaster00]

A year away isn't that bad in my opinion. In fact, I can think of a lot of movies that people start theorizing about even longer than a year before they came out.

[DrStrong]

Saw the HD trailer, finally. People were commented on IMDB as to why a truck would intentionally crash into the train. Its pretty obvious, I'm willing to bet that someone was so determined to NOT let the train reach Ohio, they gave their own life to stop it.

I dont see how this isnt related to Cloverfield, he could say its not all he wants but could easily be lying.

[Star Slight]

I think the IMDBers were asking why the guy didn't want the truck to reach Ohio. I mean crashing into the train would obviously cause a catastrophe, and if the driver knew there was some sort of monster inside the odds of it escaping during the crash were pretty high. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
As for the Cloverfield tie in...iunno I guess we have to see more of the plot. It could just turn out to be a different alien movie. I kinda doubt it though

[brentkid]

Why would a sequel to Cloverfield take place almost 30 years before the original??? I don't think we're looking at a prequel.

Anyway, I'm pumped.

It will prbably be good, either way. Interesting trailer tho.

Obviously the sequel wouldnt take place before the first one, so yea, prequel is in order.

Just because Area 51 is hauling something, doesnt make it extraterrestrial. It could simply be something kept secret from the US public that has dwelled here for sometime.

If this is in fact hand cammed, i'm willing to bet that the ending will be the monster/alien escaping into the ocean, somewhere off the east coast. Ohio isnt too far from NY, and it doesnt specify where the train was at derailment.

[popdisaster00]

I really don't think this is related to cloverfield.

[Star Slight]

May I ask why?

I enjoyed the viral marketing of Cloverfield and the ARG, so I'd like to see some of the things in it referenced to shed more light on it. Perhaps these events take place in the same universe?
Iunno, there was so much detail in the other viral marketing campaign that I'd like to see some of it touched on. A lot was left unanswered.

Yeah, I don't get it. Like I said, it's new J.J. and Star Trek ruled, but beyond that, to that article that said the only thing people were talking about after Iron Man 2 finished was the Super 8 trailer was a bit of a stretch, haha.

It could be a single white screen with text and intense music but as long as it mentions something about JJ Abrams, I'd be excited. Sue me.

I'm not even a big Abrams fan. I just enjoy the viral marketing that goes along with his films.
Oh and giant monsters, I like them too. So hopefully this will be a big alien.

Really want to see another trailer as well, still occasionally watch the teaser and just get so excited, although, I would also be into it if they didn't release anymore trailers until release (although logically that's not going to happen)

[Star Slight]

June 10th release date.

Perfect release date if you ask me, I can't wait to see this.

I have no idea about any of this, when I saw Iron Man 2 I missed the previews so I guess I missed out haha

Whoops, haha. I just saw the announcement on Bloodydisgusting.

[lightupthesky]

i saw iron man 2 at the midnight premiere, don't remember that trailer at all and feel like this is the first time i've heard of this movie.
but i'm stoked now.

[keep swinging]

so intrigued.

[bNz719]

I'm excited to see some new footage -- even if its just a 30 second spot.

Looked good

[*crying stars*]

Looked pretty awesome. Loved the signature lens flare, haha.

[pleasedontask]

Had the look of one of Speilberg's alien flicks, love it.

[jwicklun]

I liked it. It seemed like a mix between ET and Cloverfield.

[flask]

Surprised by how actiony it looks. Can't wait to see it.

Jj Abrams made his first movie using a super 8.

[fake empire]

This is easily my most anticipated movie for 2011.

trailer looked bad

[Mibabalou]

Ive been waiting for this for like 2 years.

[drudo182]

Kyle Chandler. Most underrated actor.

[Protested Hero]

I love the feel of the movie (the look of it). I was instantly reminded of Close Encounters / E.T. Not necessarily the action and what was actually happening, but the style of the film.

[Gaugzilla]

Kyle Chandler. Most underrated actor.
QFT.

I was under the impression this was gonna be shot on old film stock. Maybe I was wrong. Definitely looked like pretty clean video.

I still have no idea what this movie is about. I wasn't really paying attention during the game haha

Aliens in Area 51 in the late seventies.

Here is what anyone needs to know.

”Yes we’ve got Steven’s name on it and my name on it — for what that’s worth — but we’ve got no famous super-hero, we’ve got no pre-existing franchise or sequel, it’s not starring anyone you’ve heard of before. There’s no book, there’s no toy, there’s no comic book. There’s nothing. I don’t have anything; I don’t even have a board game, that’s how bad it is. But I think we have a very good movie.”

JJ, JJ, JJ....

Jj Abrams made his first movie using a super 8.

Every filmmaker from his generation did.........

TV spot looked awesome. This and C&A are definitely my most anticipated for the summer.

Top left is Cloverfield monster, top right is freeze-frame from the trailer of what people are speculating is a mouth, bottom is what they're guessing is a mouth laid on top of the cloverfield monster.

[mht]

that trailier and the music to go with it made this movie look like one big pile of kiddy shit. All the hype you guys had behind this I actually thought it was going to be adult oriented .

[Recovery Room]

While I was stoked for the images and tone, the music was definitely a huge WTF.

[Star Slight]

Iunno the music reminded me of old Spielberg films, which is what they're going for.
I'm sure it'll be darker

You have no idea if it's the "monsters" lower jaw. Everything is speculation.

it takes place in Ohio lol

[flask]

seriously, what the hell is this movie about? Area 51?

Yes. Kind of.

“Super 8″ takes its name from the Eastman Kodak film format that became a sensation with amateur movie-makers in the late 1960s and represented a rite of passage for several generations of aspiring directors, among them Spielberg and Abrams. The Paramount Pictures release is set in Ohio in 1979 and introduces a troupe of six youngsters who are using a Super 8 camera to make their own zombie movie. One fateful night, their project takes them to a lonely stretch of rural railroad tracks and, as the camera rolls, calamity strikes — a truck collides with an oncoming locomotive and a hellacious derailment fills the night with screaming metal and raining fire. Then something emerges from the wreckage, something decidedly inhuman."

The train is coming from Area 51.

[deadkidsean]

The train is coming from Area 51.
Don't think that is going to be a major plot point whatsoever. All it does is give quote unquote reason for it to be extraterrestrial ... not much more.

[deadkidsean]

Watch out for aliens!

Apparently, a reference to Lost but I can't find it.i don't know if this is it but there is a paper there that is covered up that says LOS and then below it is the number 4 (on of the numbers) and "black and white" (one of the main themes of the show).

Oh yeah, I see it now. I think you're right. Hmm, pretty cool reference then

[Star Slight]

Yeah iunno how much I buy into the lower jaw theory. I mean it really looks like it, but I doubt they'd make the monster that similar to Clovie.
Unless it's a prequel and he lied to us the entire time.

This movie really does have the feel of an old Speilberg movie. I can't wait.

Not a monsters jaw. It's a rope on a quasimoto doll

I was already planning on seeing Battle: Los Angeles in theaters, but if this (http://www.themoviepool.com/audience/newsroom/item/811-can-we-expect-a-super-8-trailer-on-march-11?.html) is true, I'm even more excited.

[bNz719]

Oh shit, I hope that's true! One of my most anticipated for the year.

[mymusicismylife]

Everything I read excites me for this.

[popdisaster00]

Paramount releases the official plot, although it's nothing surprising:

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.

[bNz719]

Loved the new trailer. It is, in fact, playing before Battle: Los Angeles.
Consists almost entirely of new footage.
It'll probably be on the internet soon, if it's not already up.

[flask]

Trailer was awesome. Getting a cool Close Encounters/ET vibe.

[drudo182]

New trailer was incredible. Again, Kyle Chandler is the most overlooked, underrated actor around.

I'm on my phone and I watched it 3 times. So excited. Question, at around 1:50, someone or something? says in a raspy voice "GO." I tried pausing it, but can't. The flash that goes by looks weird, just hoping for someone else to tell me what it is of.

Amen.

It'll forever pain me that Early Edition never really took off and was cancelled so early, freaking loved that show.

[Recovery Room]

Man, either this or Cowboys & Aliens will be the movie of the summer.

[HogarthHughes]

That has got to be one of the most well-done trailers in recent memory. This is my most anticipated movie of the summer (maybe the year?) as of right now.

[popdisaster00]

Fucking AWESOME trailer. Can't wait for this film. I'm so glad that a movie like this is coming out this summer when all we see are 3D sequels and reboots left and right.

[stayillogical]

a bloody black guy

Ah, it goes by so fast and I'm on my blackberry so I thought I saw someone all bloody. Thanks for confirming.

[Wait_For_It]

The more I read/see about this movie, the more excited I get. This should be really good.

[Gaugzilla]

Terrific trailer. Good lord, Kyle Chandler can play the same kinda angry, yet loving father in everything and still just slay.

[irthesteve]

Trailer looks great

[Smash Adams]

Trailer felt more Spielberg than Abrams, not sure if that's a good or a bad thing

[Chemical Love]

Looks like a mix between The Goonies and ET.

Looks awesome. Just like vintage Spielberg.

I'll see both but this is it for me. Movie of the Summer.

I think so too.

Really looking forward to it after that trailer. SO MUCH LENS FLARE, JJ.

How P.O.ed is Dakota Fanning that her sister is getting better work?

Dat trailer.

This trailer is definitely sweeter than the new Smurfs trailer.

The fact that Giacchino is doing the score for this makes me 10x more excited

Haha. Yes. It is.
