J.J. Abrams, Now Confirmed Director of 'Super 8'
I just got back from the screening of Iron Man 2, the review will be up a little later, but what I could not wait to write about is the trailer for J.J. Abrams Super 8 movie. I’ll try to describe it as best I can remember. So here we go.
The trailer starts with a black screen, that says Steven Spielberg is the producer. Then a small written narrative begins that reads something like this. “In 1970 1979 Area 51 was closed down and everything was shipped to an undisclosed location in Ohio”. Then you see a train carrying lots of cargo loads. Cut to a car driving down the road that jumps up on the tracks and heads straight toward the train. Cut to black screen and then the words “From Director J.J. Abrams”. Then back to the train and car colliding into each other, the the train derails, the camera slowly zooms in on one of the tipped over cargo cars of the derailed train, then something is punching on the walls inside the train cart trying to escape. Cut to black screen and then the title ”Next Summer. It Arrives…. Super 8“.
So it does not look like a Cloverfield sequel but it’s definitely a monster film and it seems to be the Abrams/Spielberg film that’s been hinted about the last week or so.
Hopefully a trailer comes online soon because it really is a great teaser. I definitely want more.

Awesome! Thanks so much for posting this so quick!
I think J.J. Abrams is the greatest director right now. He is consistently creative. He is everythink Lucas and Speilberg used to be and more. I’m so excited for his future and what it will bring us.
