During the summer of 2007 Bad Robot Entertainment managed to sneak a top secret trailer in front of Transformers for it’s US release; the film was Drew Goddard’s Cloverfield and it would go on to be both a box office hit and a viral marketing phenomenon. In 2010 Bad Robot did it again, this time releasing a trailer with little to no information in front of Iron Man 2. Other than some badly leaked recordings until now it was impossible for anyone outside of the US to see the trailer but thankfully Apple Trailers have released a high definition version here.
Directed by J.J. Abrams, coming fresh off the success of last year’s Star Trek relaunch (reviewed here), Super 8 is set to be released next summer with Stephen Spielberg producing and other than that not much is known but we here at BurnAllZombies have gather all the clues as to what to expect next summer.
- The film is written being both written and directed by J.J. Abrams
- It has nothing do with Cloverfield
- It’s set in America in 1979
- It will be an homage to Speilbergs late 70s/early 80s film
- There’s a thing in it?
Thankfully for you (and us) others have gone to the pleasure of skimming the trailer frame by frame for clues and found this website buried deep inside. The site contains a countdown set to finish later this week and we’ll have all the information the second it does.
Epic site I’m so glad I stumbled here through my friend’s blog, Going to need to add this one to the blogroll.
