Here’s a story straight out of left field.

7-Eleven – who was exclusively selling Rocketpoppeteers Popsicles – has bonus footage (aka a deleted scene) from JJ Abrams’ Super 8 not seen by audiences in theaters.

The clip shows friends Joe (Joel Courtney), Charles (Riley Griffiths), and Cary (Ryan Lee) at their after school pitstop – 7-Eleven – discussing plans to shoot scenes for their super 8 movie.

Now in theaters, “In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth – something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.”

Attempting to boost ticket sales, Paramount Pictures has leaked yet another video from J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 (review), his sci-fi horror adventure for the entire family.

The footage posted inside features a trip inside Area 51 where scientists experiment and dissect the creature. Spoiler warning? Let’s just say this clip is super, super sweet (with a candy shell).

So much for eating my lunch.

Over the past few months we’ve been pointing you to the “editing room” hiding within the official website for Paramount Pictures’ Super 8 (review). There, clips were slowly being discovered and assembled to reveal some major secrets behind the J.J. Abrams-directed genre film.

After a tedious few months, inside you’ll now find the FULL, unedited footage that has just been declassified by the military, err Paramount. Be warned, there are some serious spoilers afoot.

Newest ‘Super 8′ Poster Art is the Best Yet

JJ Abrams’ Super 8 is only days away from starting its theatrical run, and the reviews have been nothing short of phenomenal so far. There’s really nothing like seeing that Amblin logo float across the screen and then have the film make good on it. It has a great Goonies-like group of rambunctious adolscents thrust into this situation they can’t control as it completely reshapes their personalities and becomes the defining moment in their formative years. Like I said, it does the Amblin name proud.

A new poster hit the web today, courtesy of Cine1, featuring a montage with most of the central characters and several pivotal moments. Check out the poster art after the break, which is a breath of fresh air in an age full of crappy photoshopped ads.

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!

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?

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.

Last night Fox premiered another new clip from J.J. Abrams’ Super 8, which is a continuation of the previously released snippets that can be seen after the break. Even better, they’re premiering the final one tonight at 8 PM, which means it’ll play sometime during American Idol.
