So... it looks like that Cloverfield prequel is happening

http://theplaylistnation.blogspot.com/2010/05/details-on-what-youre-going-to-see-in.html

As we reported this morning, Abrams apparently has a secret project already in the can called "Super 8" which may or may not be a sequel to "Cloverfield." The trailer will reportedly unspool in front of prints of "Iron Man 2," and some extraordinary measures are being taken by the studio to keep it under lock and key until Friday (though preview audiences tonight and tomorrow might see it; if you do keep us posted). However, Vulture appear to have gotten a sneak peek and here's what they report:

Insiders familiar with the trailer tell us that it shows 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. Our sources also say that Super 8 is absolutely connected to 2008's Cloverfield (possibly a prequel, but not a sequel).
Kind of sounds like that scene in "Signs" doesn't it? Anyhow, "Cloverfield" using a '70s/'80s home video aesthetic could potentially be interesting, but we're not sure the idea could sustain a whole picture. So, is it a prequel? A sequel? Your guess is as good as ours and we're not going to venture anything until we see it for ourselves.

Chalk up another one in the Abrams column; he's done a remarkable job of keeping this one quiet. That said, if the viral campaign for "Super 8" comes anywhere near the size of what was done for "Cloverfield," our fatigue factor is going to set in quickly. But for now, we're definitely curious to see what's in store. Whatever it is, it looks like the thunder has been stolen from the new "Inception" trailer which is also supposed to drop this weekend in front of "Iron Man 2."

that's what they wanted, right? and by they i don't just mean the studio, but the people who actually made the film too.

The shaky camera got old fast, the characters were annoying, and it wasn't much of a monster movie. Not sure what else the film had going for it.

Hate not, Abrams makes great popcorn flicks.

I don't see how this is gonna work the second time around, especially if it sounds like once again, some people are gonna be running around with a videocamera getting chased.

I love Cloverfield.

I'm a sucker for these movies... Blair Witch, Quarantine, Cloverfield... etc.

Go Wings.

Yesterday, reliable sources told Vulture that Super 8 — J.J. Abrams's top-secret new movie whose clandestine trailer (read about its contents here!) hits theaters this weekend attached to Iron Man 2 — is "absolutely connected to 2008's Cloverfield," though it's not explicitly a sequel. (Hitfix's Drew McWeeny had heard something similar.) At last night's 2010 Time 100 Gala at the Time Warner Center, though, a cagey Abrams insisted otherwise.

"You have to check ," he told us. "But it has nothing whatsoever to do with Cloverfield, despite your expert reporting." So what does it have to do with? "I won’t be able to tell you until it’s done," he said. So to clarify: Super 8 — another virally marketed Abrams-produced movie featuring otherworldly creatures captured on film by amateur cinematographers — will be totally unconnected to Cloverfield.

We asked if 8's trailer was really sent to theaters in canisters requiring special codes to open. "That is correct," Abrams told us. Certainly such conspicuous security measures only invite the kind of scrutiny that can ruin carefully planned surprises, though, right? "I don’t know if it would matter with you guys," he said, laughing. "I don’t think it matters." Is there a better way to keep secret monster movies under wraps? "I'm working on it," he told us before returning to his meal.

And how does a "hack" get to send canisters with security codes to theaters? Spielberg and nem don't even do that shit... yet.

>JJ Abrams Unveils His 'Super 8' Film With Teaser Trailer Before 'Iron Man 2' Trailer; Film Hits Theaters Next Summer

By MIKE FLEMING Thursday May 6, 2010 @ 10:36am PDT

JJ Abrams is ready to dish some details on his next Paramount Pictures film, Super 8, with a teaser trailer that will play in front of Iron Man 2 this weekend. That trailer will answer some questions about Super 8, which has been the subject of a lot of internet speculation lately. It will start production this fall, and hit theaters next summer. Abrams wrote the script and will direct, and Steven Spielberg will produce with Bad Robot's Abram's and Bryan Burk.

I'm told the trailer begins with a pickup truck that veers onto a train track, heading directly for a locomotive. The legend appears: "In 1979, the US Air Force closed a section of Area 51. All the materials were to be transported to a secure facility in Ohio." The truck hits the train, there is a tremendous explosion destroying the vehicle and the train. The camera focuses on one train car that wasn't destroyed. A heavy pounding is heard from inside.

The film is a personal passion project for Abrams, an homage of the films he loved as a teenager. It will be shot for $45 million. That puts Super 8 in league with the Bad Robot-produced Cloverfield, but it is not a sequel to that film as has been speculated. Abrams will shoot this in traditional style, and not hand-held. Abrams will then go to work on the Star Trek sequel, which is dated for summer, 2012 release. How exciting.

It looks a little more nicely filmed than the shaky cam. And I love a good monster flick.

the "thing" eats dogs?
I thought that the local dogs relocated outside of the city; in trailer it says there were cases of missing dogs being found outside of the town.

Could be wrong, but I at least will wait until some decent reviews of it come in before I pay $12 to see something I know nothing about...

Dug the shit out of it. Its got everything, including emotional depth. Very Amblinesque. Loved it.

HAI HATERZ

The reviews have been worrisome to say the least, but from the sounds of it most of those reviewers went in with very strong opinions on what Super 8 should be.

I've got tickets for IMAX on Friday. Can't wait.
I'm doing my best to put expectations aside.

Some crtitics loved that, some thought it was too much. Not me though. Im interested in the PTP response.

This is destined to be a 300+ reply, people love it, then Rjcc and a couple others passionately hate it, then the people who love it ignore the flaws the film might have to defend it blindly, resulting in inevitable namecalling, references to LOST, and at least seven instances of "you mad?"

Here's hoping the film is great though, lol.

I hate to compare it to Cloverfield, but...I remember that post. Not pretty.

I'm not a HUGE JJ fan. I dug Star Trek quite a bit, never saw Alias, and fell off of the Lost train in the 4th season...but I have to hand it to him here. For me, this film was unhateable. Which basically means there'll be a pocket of people who fucking hate it on here.

I just don't see how one can dislike this if they liked the Spielberg movies of the 80s.

Abrams just really divides people, and Rj usually comes down on the "hated it" side, and because people like fighting back against Rj, it always spins out into madness. I'm guilty of it too.

The internet hype for Bridesmaids was so strong that a lot of people went in expecting the next great comedy and were disappointed when they got another Apatow special (haven't seen it but for every person who loved it, I know two who think it was too long and not as funny as the hype led them to believe.)

Although, the review on Super 8 are already coming in as mostly mixed so expectations may be muted a bit but I keep hearing that it's a poor man's Spielberg and two movies clumped into one (which is actually what it is).

Is there ever a clear shot of the monster/lab experiment gone wrong? One trailer showed a large dark green tentacle tearing through a school bus. Its also obvious the 'thing' has telepathic abilities.

The alien actually looks like this.

Plus there's no telepathy involved. The alien does use some kind of interface to interact with computer networks and cell phone towers to gain knowledge throughout the movie.

Last 3 things I watched:

The Changeling Season 1 (Apple+): C
OMITB Season 3 (Hulu): B-
Ahsoka Season 1 (Disney

just like a lot of them other Spielberg flicks

I thought it was a bit Velveetish myself but sorta saw it comin once an earlier scene sets it up. It didn't really ruin the rest of the film for me but there is an awkward shift in tone at a key moment before the finale.

The kids are great. Especially Joel Courtney & Riley Griffiths. Never a dull moment with those two. Funny, charming and sympathetic. The other kids are all engaging as well.

As far as the action the train crash & sound effects alone might be enough to send me back for a second viewing via IMAX. There's a good amount of suspense throughout and these scenes are top notch the way they're shot & directed. The lens flares are back as well but added to the sense of eerieness so didn't mind as much this time.

I liked Cloverfield a lot and liked this one as well. Although Abrams claims it's not, it sure as hell felt like a prequel to me.

But I will say anyone hating on the ending has no soul.

Cause I agree with him. It was pretty cheesy. I liked the film, but it was too "light" for my sentiments. It was definitely a well made film and *the* action sequence was as good as any. I just don't like my movies corny. *shrug*

I didn't care for Cloverfield and I didn't care for the monster stuff in this film either. I think Super 8 is much better than Cloverfield but I wonder how many people who didn't like Cloverfield really like Super 8.

The ending, yeah. Even the friend who saw it with me and really liked the film thought the ending was really bad. I can definitely see why people liked it. I just think some of the "They don't make 'em like this anymore" stuff is hyperbole. Although I will agree that I can't remember a lot of films like this starring kids coming out recently (at least not live action films).

Thoroughly enjoyable as a kids flick with some very adult content as well. Some scenes had me audibly chuckling, and some had me startled in my seat. One scene in particular was as good an action scene as I've seen in a long time.

JJ really brought the heart to this film.

The kids were incredibly cast and their chemistry was fantastic.

The main kid, the chubster, and Elle Fanning were all excellent with some notably good performances from the rest of the kids.

Mr. Early Edition was solid with a smaller part than I'd anticipated.

Overall, it's beautifully shot and anyone who grew up on 70's/80's/90's kids adventure flicks is gonna have a great time.
