Super 8

We all know that JJ Abrams' new alien-laden monster mash for Paramount, Super 8, goes into production next month, and who would have thunk it - actors are being sought!

One film we're really looking forward to is JJ Abrams' next alien run amok flick Super 8, but other than the numerous bits of viral material that can be found online and abroad, there really hasn't been any hard news to speak of or report on. Until now that is.

The knack that director JJ Abrams has for getting people excited about his films is like nothing we've ever seen before. The man knows his audience and knows exactly how to get them involved. Speaking of which ....

If you're at Comic-Con this weekend, one thing to keep your eyes peeled for is a Rocket Poppeteers truck. It's not just a refreshing snack, but also a well-disguised promotional stunt for next summer's Super 8!

Remember back in mid-May when we told you about a mail-in "Rocket Poppeteers" coupon that was somehow tied in to JJ Abrams' upcoming feature Super 8? Well, those who sent it in were rewarded this week with something pretty cool ... yet mysterious.

Much as he did with Cloverfield, JJ Abrams is embracing viral marketing for his latest feature, Super 8, with a vengeance. Lucky for us there are guys out there online who are willing and able to devote hours of their time figuring it all out.

With the official Internet release of the teaser trailer for JJ Abrams' Super 8 has come a bevy of viral stuff that will either get your ghost or get you annoyed. That's right, kids, the second that the short snippet hit, sleuthing fans got right to work uncovering the goods.

In just a week director JJ Abrams set the Internet on fire and captured the imagination of fans everywhere with the announcement that a short teaser trailer would appear before last weekend's box office monster Iron Man 2.

The mystery continues as the official website for the Steven Spielberg produced next film for JJ Abrams, Super 8, has just come online. The good news? You can sign up for e-mail alerts. The bad? Other than that it's filled with a whole lot of nothing!

Well, you knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. The teaser trailer for the new JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg alien film Super 8 is now available online on just about every video upload service there is thanks to a whole lot of risk taking bootleggers.

It seems like only a few hours ago that we gave you the latest on JJ Abrams' Super 8. That's because it was. Some more "facts" have come to light, this time detailing exactly what's to come this weekend. The plot thickens.

In true JJ Abrams fashion, just when you think you have things almost all figured out, he pulls the rug right out from under you and then giggles maniacally while you fall on your ass. Just yesterday it was reported that his latest project, Super 8, would somehow be related to Cloverfield. Now? Not so much. Round and round we go.

It's amazing the difference that a few hours can make. Just a little while ago we reported that the trailer for JJ Abrams' latest project Super 8 will be attached to prints of Iron Man 2 this weekend. Speculation started running rampant as to whether or not this could be a sequel to Cloverfield, and now the answer has come.

Filmmaker JJ Abrams is a man who loves toying with his fans, and we love him right back for it. Just about every project he works on is shrouded in some type of secrecy, and when Iron Man 2 hits this weekend, we'll be getting our first look at what's next for the devilish director.
