And the speculation wagon keeps on trucking for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming monster mash, Super 8. Frame-by-frame screen caps taken directly from the Super Bowl XLV TV spot have revealed what could very well be the first ever teaser look at the movie’s creature. Or … it could be nothing at all.

In fact for folks who enjoying poking around there are several hidden images within the trailer including references to “Lost”, etc. To dig on them, head on over to Bloody Disgusting. Here we’re only interested in a single shot from the trailer, one that looks to show off what could be the beast’s mouth with its lower jaw hanging agape surely in mid-roar.

“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.”

Dig on the image below and tell us what you think. Super 8 opens in theatres on June 10th.
