Teaser Trailer for J.J. Abrams, "Super 8" Movie

[Samurai8472]

Huge homage to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" at the beginning. No surprise since Spielberg is producing.

I'm intrigued

 

[Admiral_Young]

Yeah Jackson Archer posted a link to it in the Cloverfeild 2 thread and I'm stoked for it...fascinating.

 

[RoJoHen]

Saw the trailer last night at Iron Man 2, and it definitely looks cool.

 

[indianatrekker26]

Yeah i saw the trailer tonight while seeing Iron Man 2. Don't know what to think of it, very similar in style to all of JJ Abrams' movie trailers. Meaning that you get intrigued by it. And this one did that for me.

 

[Trekker4747]

Wait. Next Summer?! Sheesh. I hate trailer released a whole fucking year before the movie comes out.

 

[Jetfire]

This film hasn't even been shot yet, correct? Filming starts in the Fall???

Why show a trailer?

 

[scnj]

Because it gets people talking and building hype.

Why not ? It's a teaser.
It's meant to tease you, intrigue you, let you know there's this interesting movie coming, have you talk about it.
And since Abrams is involved it is probably the first step into a whole viral campaign.

So... it's basically a superhero movie, and this was their version of the Hulk getting released?

So, don't see it.
Couldn't care less.

 

[Agent Richard07]

I wasn't that impressed with the trailer, but I'm interested enough to want to see the movie.

Maybe when it is closer to the release and I see something "real" I might change my mind...at this point. Meh.

Suposedly it's gonna be similar to Roswell

You mean all dramatic and filled with teenage angst?

Ugh. No thanks.

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

I was thinking more of the super powered alien trying to fit in arch type where another alien comes to earth too, hilarity ensues. I just remember a newsbit like a month ago about speilberg and abrams collaborating and this was the description. I could be way off

Based on the name (which sounds like a team of eight superheroes), and the fact that whatever is in the container has superhuman strength and was clearly being 'rescued'... I don't really see it having anything at all to do with aliens. Neither the name nor the scene has any hint of aliens.

 

[Corran Horn]

Unless I missed something, I thought it was odd that the 'thing' was bashing on the door while simultaneously turning the wheel thing (maybe the axle goes through to another wheel on the other side?)...I didn't get it.

Based on the name, to me it sounds likenit has something to do with the film camera, but I swear it says 1979 in Area 51, which sounds pretty alien-centric but we shall see

^This. Super 8 obviously refers to the film and camera system.
