More ‘Super 8’ Viral Goodness Comes Via Snail Mail
With over a year until release, Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot are already hard at work promoting the J.J. Abrams/Steven Spielberg collaboration Super 8, their 80’s-esque Amblin homage that is said to follow a bunch of kids who are shooting a movie with a Super 8 camera in the seventies or eighties. When they develop the film, they notice that there’s an alien creature in the frame. The latest viral once again is related to the “Rocket Poppeteers”: “Remember, kids: Real Spacemen Love Rocket Poppeteers!!!”
All of the following comes courtesy of Super 8 News:
“It appears as though some of our readers have gotten a surprise in the mail today in the form of a letter from Captain “Coop” Cooper and The Rocketpoppeteers! I’ve included screenshots, thanks to Charlie, and I’ve transcribed the text below in case you can’t read it on the screenshot.

Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
