We all know JJ Abrams - of Lost and Cloverfield fame - and of course, the bigwig of American filmmaking, Steven Spielberg. It so happens those two have banded together - the former as the director and the latter as the producer- to give birth to this movie, Super 8, which will be released this year.
JJ Abrams has kept a tight lid on the nature of Super 8, though he did go out of line to state that it was in no means related to Cloverfield (as rumors of a sequel abounded). It's filmed as a homage to Steven Spielberg-era (70s and 80s) movies and will feature a plot involving aliens, Army cleanup (evidently referencing the Roswell affair, even though in reality no aliens were recovered from that area) and a kid who catches footage of the said extraterrestrial(s) on his Super 8 camera.
I'm quite looking forward to seeing what those two moguls have cooked up together.
