JJ Abrams to reveal mystery trailer in front of Iron Man 2 this Friday in USA
135 replies, posted
Remember when Cloverfield was first revealed? Some mysterious trailer tied to Transformers and no-one knew what the fuck it was about? And the whole internet became a cluster-fuck of rumors trying to figure it all out?
Well he's about to do it all over again: [url]http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/2008-12-6-motion-captured/posts/want-to-know-the-title-of-the-secret-jj-abrams-film[/url]
In the USA this Friday, tied to prints of Iron Man 2, will be a trailer to whats currently being called "[highlight]Super 8[/highlight]". It's being written and directed by JJ Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg. Don't bet on the trailer getting revealed early, either. They've already planned against that happening: The third film canister given to the theaters, containing the after-credits special of iron man 2 and the trailers, are all locked with some number code that they won't be given until its time to open the film, to keep both the after credits iron man 2 bit secret, as well as "Super 8" secret.
The film itself hasn't even gone into production. The trailer was made before the film was.
I'm pretty interested to see what it's going to be. Will it be the long rumored Cloverfield prequel/sequel? Or something totally new? Personally I'm thinking Cloverfield.
[highlight]UPDATE:[/highlight] It's not cloverfield after all.
[quote]Abrams said, "You have to check [out the trailer]. But it has nothing whatsoever to do with 'Cloverfield,' despite your expert reporting." So what is Super 8 about? "I won't be able to tell you until it's done," he said.[/quote]
[highlight]UPDATE #2[/highlight]: The film will be directed and written by JJ Abrams after all, and is aiming at a summer 2011 release.
Steven Spielberg is also on board as a producer.
Shooting begins this fall, budget between $45 and $50 million, so it's not gonna be anything huge.

[quote]On the official film website, if the flash animation is closely analyzed the letters flashing by on the lens spell "scariestthingieversaw" leading to the web site. The page contains an old computer command line interface that finally leads to what appears to be a countdown that will end on May 13, 2010 at 20:00 PDT.
Moving the command line interface to one side, there's a prompt underneath allowing the user to print a document. The printed content says "Stop posting publicly. I can answer your questions. I have proof", followed by four greater-than symbols (>>>>).[/quote]

And here's the trailer:

Wikipedia seems to note it as a Cloverfeild sequel, so there might be more information somewhere. Might be something loosely based or some shit.
Cloverfield 2? Yes please.
All the more reason for me to see Iron Man 2.
super 8 sounds like a superhero film
I can guarantee it won't be a superhero film.
Please don't be Cloverfield 2, please be a good movie instead.
JJ Abrams sucks.
So I wont be bothering with it. Cloverfield was a let down and don't even try to say it wasn't. Lost is over-hyped to fuck and JJ Abrams himself is apparently a major dickhead.

He's the guy who made one okay tv show then made the worst mission impossible movie (yet, hes making MI:4 which is going to be hell for everyone that isn't a retard)
Won't be Star Trek II I don't think.

And he's also the guy that made that awesome Star Trek movie.

I agree with this man. JJ abrams is vastly overrated and he's got an inflated ego according to most reports.
Star Trek wasn't that great either, I enjoyed it, but I still fail to see what everyone was raving about.
The hype created for the movie Cloverfield was some of the best hype ever. Barely anything was revealed and everybody got so excited for every single tid-bit of information. I hope it is Cloverfield 2 so I can experience this again.
I hope it's Cloverfield 2, I loved the first one.

Cloverfield went under loads of names. One of them was 'Cheese'
I hope it's Cloverfield
lost: the movie
Just remember, I called it first.
Has to be Cloverfield.

Rated Disagree. JJ Abrams is a god and deserves to be revered as such
Some bored film projectionist should crack the code.

He made Lost, no god would make such tripe.
Super 8 is probably a title ruse.
jj abrams directed star trek, fringe and cloverfield? wow
i'm just hoping for cloverfield 2, because it gave you a lot to think about after the movie ended, like the people vomiting blood and stuff. saying that, it wasn't being directed by abrams and therefore the new director will go along something the lines of "yeah let's turn these ill people into zombies, EVERYONE LOVES CLICHE ZOMBIES c". of course there was also the huge monster trapsing through new york and his pals in the subways. i really hope abrams has some major part in it, and that it stays creepy cam style.
more star trek reboot please
I hope it's another star trek.

Lost is amazing at being utter, utter garbage.
6 people have no taste in TV programs, please get rid of your TV sets immediately.

I fucking knew it, I just fucking knew something was fishy about that name. I just didn't want to come off too nerdy. But yeah I had a feeling that the name super 8 rang a bell. I'm sold. This is what they be using.

That's it, it's practically pretty much a new cloverfield movie or just another movie in a point of view. Should be fucking good.
[QUOTE=postal;21750128]The trailer was made before the film was.[/QUOTE]
must be a youtube machinima
Please god make it be Cloverfield 2.
