Earlier this week we posted a rumor that the first full trailer for J.J. Abrams' Super 8 would be attached to prints of Battle: Los Angeles, being released this weekend. While we didn't know if it would come in the form of a pirated video or official release, we knew that one way or the other the trailer was going to hit online quickly. Lucky for us it was the latter.

Paramount has released the first trailer for the sci-fi film, due out on June 10th. As per the official synopsis released earlier tonight, the film is about a group of kids who, while making a movie with a super 8 camera, witness a train crash. Suddenly, weird occurrences begin to spread around the small town and the answer may rest in what escaped from that cargo train.

Check out the trailer below. For more of the latest on Super 8, keep up to date with the Blend Film Database.


While it certainly wasn't all new footage - it includes the train derailment from the teaser and quite a few scenes from the Super Bowl trailer - this movie really has to be on your most anticipated list by this point. On the one hand it seems to perfectly capture a nostalgic vibe while also blending in some great Spielbergian sci-fi. It's like a mash-up of Stand By Me plus ET with an evil alien (and how can you not love that Amblin Entertainment logo at the front).

But that's enough from me, what did you guys think? Leave your thoughts, feelings, questions and concerns in the comments section below.
