It's been a solid month since the Super 8 TV spot managed to stay on the minds of 
every viewer of the Super Bowl, and now we've finally got a full trailer for the film. In very much J.J. Abrams style, it answers a few questions and raises far more, but not without forgetting the heart. This film seems so elaborately steeped in old-style Spielbergian filmmaking, with a bunch of kids taking center stage to solve the problems the adults can't, an army take over of a small town, and strong themes of family troubles. What this monster looks like, we still don't know, and that's assuming it has a corporeal form. In any case, weird shit is happening in this town, and while some may gripe at the capability of the young actors, I find it a welcome return to the old days of the 1980's. As for the poster, it's honestly the most innovative thing I've seen in a while. Click on the image provided for a larger version!
