Super Bowl Trailer: Super 8

“Super 8” is the new Steven Spielberg produced, J.J. Abrams directed super secret movie project. A teaser came out many months ago that told us nothing but got me interested. The only thing we kind of knew was it was a homage to early Spielberg type movies.

Now during the Super Bowl we finally got some new footage and yes it really does look like a late 70s early 80s Spielberg film. Abrams’ also, in a very un-Abrams’ type move finally came out and told us a little about the film. Here is a snippet of what he said:

“To me, all people need to know is that it’s an adventure about a small town and it’s funny, it’s sweet, it’s scary and there’s a mystery: What is this thing that has escaped? What are the ramifications of its presence? And what is the effect on people? But I know that’s not enough. Look, I feel we need a little bit of a coming-out party because we are up against massive franchises and brands and most people don’t know what ‘Super 8? means. We’re a complete anomaly in a summer of huge films … and we don’t want to be so silent or coy that people don’t care or don’t hear about it.”

I am so excited about this one as I am a huge fan of Spielberg, especially that era Spielberg. What did you think? Comment below.
