A couple of days ago, we mentioned that the trailer for JJ Abrams’ new movie Super 8 would be making a surprise premiere before the Iron Man 2 movie. Since then we’ve had a chance to check out the trailer ourselves and have learned a thing or two.
First, we’ve learned that it isn’t a Cloverfield sequel/prequel but is indeed the Abrams and Spielburg collaboration that has been rumored to be brewing. Yes, you heard correctly, two of Hollywood’s titans of sci-fi are teaming up to bring us an alien movie.
Which brings us to the second thing we’ve learned. It’s an alien movie!
At least that is judging from the trailer that is now online. It has kind of an Encounters of the Third Kind on cocaine vibe, and an Area 51 reference. Screams aliens to us.
This also seems to support the rumor that Abrams would make the film as much an homage to the Spielburg films of the 70′s & 80′s as it is a collaboration with the great director. So will it be more ET or Close Encounters? Maybe a little Jaws thrown in for flavor?
We know the hype and speculation on this film is just beginning, but we’re already looking forward to finding out more. Enjoy the trailer.
