I wanna rub this trailer all over me…

To borrow the expression from my esteemed colleagues is to barely do justice to how much I enjoyed screening the new trailer for Super 8. There is no limit to the magic that Spielberg and Abrams can create together, and I really dig that they’re bringing back the classic adventure with kids at the heart of the story and seeing the grown-up world through their own eyes. It’s like Goonies meets E.T. meets Close Encounters and looks totally wicked!

    Couldn’t agree more. I had no idea what the movie was about before this trailer and now it has jumped into my “top 3 must see this summer list” I love that Kyle Chandler is playing a character so close to coach Taylor. This is going to rule.

    • Yeah, there is totally an FNL element at play here. If you’re gonna step off the football field, the closest you can get to the football coach is the local sheriff.

  • Having watched this I was almost ready to kncok TREE OF LIFE off its perch of “Most Anticipated Film of The Summer”.

    …almost.

  • Great trailer, that’s the way it’s done. There is no need to spoil the entire movie and this only makes me want to see it even more.

    • Exactly! This is not only a trailer for a what looks to be a great film, but it’s also a great example of how to build a fanbase. I get the impression that either Abrams had a direct hand in making it himself, or he went to the same guy he got to do the theatrical Star Trek trailer. Teased out a story that is likely just one of many, bringing up the young love, mystery, coming of age, military, nostalgic elements in harmony.

  • Nice how you added The Goonies to E.T. and Close Encounters! I got more of a Stand By Be vibe but either way, this looks like one headed for the classics section of any movie library. CANNOT WAIT:)

    • Yeah, there’s a Stand By Me quality there, no doubt… either that or the Wonder Years! ;) In a way I’m glad they don’t attempt this kind of film too often, it almost keeps it sacred in a way.

  • I can’t wait to see this film. I am officially INTERESTED.
