I'm a little late to this party! The dynamic duo of JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg unveiled a 90-second teaser trailer for their upcoming collaboration 'Super 8' before Iron Man 2 on May 7.
Isn't Super 8 a film format that Steven Spielberg and JJ Abrams shot their pre-Hollywood movies on? Where's the fun in that! Read on...
"In 1979, the Air Force closed a section of Area 51. All materials were to be transported to a secure facility in Ohio."
Speculation has been rife that Super 8 is a prequel to JJ Abrams' Cloverfield (2008), which witnessed solipsistic twenty somethings thrown into the midst of an apocalyptic alien smackdown, in Manhattan, all the while narcissistically documenting their trammels: Godzilla for Generation Y! However, the enigmatic footage, depicting a train crash, carrying alien cargo from Area 51, is enough for me to conclude that it's going to be movie magic.
Abrams will complete Super 8 before moving on to Star Trek 2 which will bow summer 2012. The movie is an homage to the sci-fi films Abrams loved as a teenager.
Watch the trailer online here. What did you think of the trailer?

I too was late to the party, only just watched it myself. Its a curious beast and being a teaser it does just that. Part of me thinks ENOUGH with with contrived harking back to Area 51, the other thinks COOOOOOOL.

But hey, let's be frank, Spielberg and Abrams? That's something to contemplate. Boy, that alone gives it some great possibilites.
As a big fan of JJ's work, and that unknown Steven wassisface, man it could be amazing.
Can't wait to find out more.
JJ Abrams had me at Spielberg! Seriously. This promises to hark back to those brilliant summer blockbuster movies, which Spielberg, himself, created with Jaws!
