Here's the new trailer for Super 8, the new movie from J.J. Abrams (Mission Impossible 3, Star Trek, Lost). At first the movie looked like it was going to be a sequel to Cloverfield, but thank you Jesus that it is not. The film is set back in 1979, where six children are using their Super 8 Camera to make a zombie movie. One night while filming they see a truck collide with an oncoming train leading to a catastrophic derailment. However, within the destruction, something inhuman emerges.
Steven Spielberg is a producer on this film so it should be interesting to see Abarams and Spielberg work together. The film sort of reminds of a re-imaging of Spielberg's E.T. Think about it. Super 8 has an alien, boys on bikes, conspiracy in town, cops, and Spielberg. Of course it seems like this alien is more ruthless and murderous. Anyway it's coming out on June 10 in conventional and IMAX theaters.
There really does seem to be a very E.T. vibe to the film. Maybe its a blockbuster harking back to the Spielberg of the 80's...
