Zombies and ‘Super 8′ Clues in New Clips!

Are you sick of hearing about Super 8 (review) yet? We’ve got an entire week left until release, but at least there’s some fun stuff leading up to June 10.

Paramount has already released about forty variations of the opening train crash sequence, but we just now got our hands on two “fresh” clips from the J.J. Abrams-directed sci-fi horror films that’s great for the entire family. One clip features a heartwarming moment between Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney) and his love interest Alice Dainard (Elle Fanning) as they prepare for their movie shoot. Alice is caked up in zombie makeup. The other clip features Joe’s dad, Jackson (Kyle Chandler), as he attempts to find out where his kid vanished off too. Their super 8 dailies may hold the clue.

BD Review: The Return of Authentic Spielberg in ‘Super 8′!

Whether it’s a reflection of my age or just the quality of films today, I rarely watch a (modern) movie more than once. That’s the strength of J.J. Abrams’ captivating Super 8, his sci-fi thriller that has literally left me thinking about it days after. In fact, June 10th can’t come soon enough as a second viewing is definitely in store — sh*t, I may even buy it when it arrives on Blu-ray. That, my dear readers, is just shocking…

” ‘Super 8′ can be simplified as ‘E.T.’ meets ‘Cloverfield’… [it] truly is the beginning and the end of summer blockbusters. In fact, this is THE summer blockbuster of 1986. If Abrams’ flick came out in the `80s, it would be the sole movie that everyone was in line for…”

Click the title for the entire review and check back here next week to write your own. Am I lost in nostalgia and being too kind, or did Paramount just unload a potential modern masterpiece? I can’t wait for your thoughts!

Spoilers! Major ‘Super 8′ Clues Revealed in Editing Room

Spoiler Warning: Over at the official website for J.J. Abrams’ Super 8, Paramount Pictures continues to unlock new microclips in the editing room that can be played together to reveal a long military debriefing. There are still a ton of missing clips that will be unlocked leading up to the June 10 release, yet there are some pretty heavy clues hiding within. One such clue would be the half-second reference to “craft exposure“, while the other would be the mass of footage featuring the mysterious “cubes” (discovered in early trailers and within the film strip frames; pictured below) acting all strange.

What does it all mean? Do you guys have any guesses?

Video Interview: ‘Super 8′ Director J.J. Abrams Knows Character Development

This morning Paramount Pictures released a slew of generic interviews for Super 8, but the only one that truly matters is that of director J.J. Abrams. While he does trail off a bit, and waste time plugging the iPhone application, he does tell of some tremendous filmmaking lessons for inspiring filmmakers.

In the three videos he talks about his two ideas – a film about kids making a super 8 movies in ’80s, and the other a creature feature – and how it mixed the two. One was about group of characters he loved without a compelling story, so he meshed them into one idea. He also goes into depth about finding the right kids and making sure their characters were authentic and believable. He also speaks for the first time on Steven Speilberg’s involvement revealing that he was “deeply involved in script, casting and editing [process].

Fans of Spielberg will have their minds blown on June 10 when Super 8 attacks theaters.

Update: we added the following video clip from Empire featuring both Spielberg and Abrams!

I feel bad barraging you with Super 8 news, but I’m just so damn excited!

The latest offerings from Paramount Pictures are a pair of new hi-res stills from the J.J. Abrams-directed sci-fi genre pic that’s produced by Mr. Steven Spielberg. In addition, the studio has revealed a pretty rad iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch application: a full-featured video recorder that emulates a vintage Super 8 camera! OMFG anyone?

The app, which is distributed by Paramount Digital Entertainment and was created by app-development newcomer QMx Interactive and Bad Robot Interactive, allows users to create vintage movies on their Apple mobile devices. Super 8 comes with seven photorealistic lenses sporting such effects as infrared, chromatic and x-ray. Users can overlay additional filter effects – like light leaks and vignettes – and “age” their film with a random scratch-and-dirt filter. There’s even a frame-shake effect to top off the old-school feel of Super 8-made movies. A+

Super 8 arrives in theaters June 10.
