Plot details for Super 8
Last night during the big game, we got another look at J.J. Abram’s mysterious Super 8 (here). However, we still don’t know what the film is actually about other than it’s a monster movie. The Los Angeles Times was able to speak with Abrams, who revealed more details on the film:
“The Paramount Pictures release is set in Ohio in 1979 and introduces a troupe of six youngsters who are using a Super 8 camera to make their own zombie movie. One fateful night, their project takes them to a lonely stretch of rural railroad tracks and, as the camera rolls, calamity strikes — a truck collides with an oncoming locomotive and a hellacious derailment fills the night with screaming metal and raining fire. Then something emerges from the wreckage, something decidedly inhuman.”
It still doesn’t give us much to go on, but if anyone knows the campaign Abrams used for Cloverfield, then they know how he works. The article did mention the film is a cross between Fringe, The X-Files, E.T.: The Extraterrestrial, Stand By Me, and The Goonies.
Super 8 opens on June 10.
