OMFG of the Day: The Pieces Come Together in ‘Super 8’ Viral – UPDATED!
I have a feeling some of you guys are going to want to boycott Paramount’s Super 8 by the time it’s all said and done, but in all honesty this is some brilliant stuff. Over the past few months we here at Bloody Disgusting have been keeping a close eye on all virals surrounding the J.J. Abrams/Steven Spielberg collaboration. In fact, there’s so much stuff you haven’t seen that most of you would probably thank me for not stirring the pot (hidden maps, actual referenced locations, and hidden database files).
Yesterday we accidentally stumbled onto one of the coolest viral games ever initiated, and many loyal Super 8 followers have already (sorta) deciphered the code – yet they still missed a few beats (we’ll help you out). Per our report, Apple.com has been constantly changing the HD files for the Super Bowl TV Spot. What does this mean? Each trailer appears to be the same, but it’s completely different. Dates appear and vanish, images appear and vanish; this has been going on for 24 hours now. Inside you’ll find a collection of the puzzle pieces, but I’d like to make this important additional note: the pieces are connected by the three dots on each image, therefore some of these aren’t connected correctly.
Keep your eyes peeled (so will we) and feel free to e-mail us with any major discoveries that we’ve missed.
A+ to readers at Unfiction for piecing together the following:

‘Boorman and the Devil’ Documentary Trailer Chronicles Complicated Relationship with ‘Exorcist II’
Critically acclaimed documentary Boorman and the Devil chronicles how one of the world’s greatest filmmakers made one of the most hated movies ever: Exorcist II: The Heretic. A new trailer highlighting some of the troubled production woes has arrived.
Boorman and the Devil opens at The Quad in NYC on August 28 before opening wider in various cities on September 4, including: Los Angeles, Columbus, Houston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Seattle and more.
After the success of Point Blank and Deliverance, Warner Brothers offered John Boorman the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to direct a sequel to their smash hit, The Exorcist. The result was one of the biggest disasters in movie history. A critical and financial failure that not only changed how Hollywood did business, but nearly ended Boorman’s filmmaking career… but to be an artist is to be a risk-taker.
Now, John Boorman, Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher, Karyn Kusama, Joe Dante, Mike Flanagan, and more reflect back on the ambition of the film, the artistry and craft, and the value of big creative swings.
“I am beyond thrilled that Yellow Veil has come on board to help us share this story with a larger audience,” said director David Kittredge. “Like myself and the rest of our team, they’re huge cinema-lovers. It’s so exciting that a film which is not only a love letter to John Boorman, but also to ambitious filmmaking, will be handled by people who share the same passions that our team shares.”
“I first saw the film at an early festival screening and the post-screening buzz was just electric. Everyone was loving Boorman and the Devil,” added Yellow Veil co-founder Justin Timms. “To be able to team up with David and the filmmaking team on this release is incredibly exciting, and we can’t wait to spread that post-screening electricity with audiences across the country.”
Boorman and the Devil is produced by Kittredge’s Triple Fire Productions, Travis Stevens (Jodorowsky’s Dune, Starry Eyes) of Snowfort Pictures, and Jim Fall (The Lizzie McGuire Movie), with Alan Koenigsberg of Milton Ventures Media serving as co-producer.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his review, “Boorman and the Devil goes above and beyond to be the definitive text on Exorcist II. This documentary will delight horror and Exorcist fans alike, but it also provides incredible insight for anyone who is just marginally interested in film production.”
