 		Gamejack is sucky.

We don't care about your blog.

A Paramount film is going to use iconic (and presumably copyright enforceable) imagery from a MGM film in it's promotion.

Yeah, right.

Lol really? Wouldn't it be 500.radsr then?


I would argue that "RADS" on its own is a sufficiently uncommon string of letters together to perhaps rule out coincidence.

 		Nice coincidence, but Super8 has so much to do with Hal's logo as with mine own logo Very Happy

Anyway, if JJ Abrams would do a homage to Kubrick, he would use this reference. But he is very cautious about his allusions, and since he makes a homage to Spielberg, I'd call it just nice coincidence.

And Hal/Sakura story is a nice fan-fiction, which perhaps deservs its own thread, but it shouldn't be brought in here, because otherwise people will be mixed up like in the times of Ethan Haas. And another Ethan Haas may kill the fun again...

Thad/Hal used something similar to it as an avatar at one point (which you can't back-date the avatar, btw):

SUPER 8 MOVIE


Ehhh, I see the resemblance, but I'm 99,9% sure the Super * pic is meant to be just that- the lens of a Super 8 film camera.

I don't think JJ would mix aliens and artificial intelligence for a movie, personally... For a series, maybe, but not a movie. Razz

 		Ehm people, is it completely false information or is something true in?
I'm right now coincedentally came to the Wiki article of a short movie by Spielbeerg "Amblin'"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amblin%27

Actually, "Super 8" is produced by the company "Amblin' Entertainment", that has E.T.-Bicycle as logo and name after this short movie.

And in wiki there is following information:

Quote:
Homage
Steven Spielberg produced with Super 8 the homage to his film, it will be directed by JJ Abrams.[2]
http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/20120


UPDATE. Even I've saw, they misunderstood it.

They mistook film name with company name, hehe.

Hi everyone, new & old Smile

I moved this thread to its own, separate forum in the Chaotic Fiction section, as, going by previous projects of the Master of Mystery JJ Abrams, Super 8 will probably spawn a LOT of speculation.

You have your own forum to use now, so feel free to create new threads on relevant subjects. Do take a moment to read the forum guidelines at the top of the forum though, and remember to Search before posting, to make sure you're not posting anything that's already there.


Thank you, Giskard!
You saved us Smile

If it was a cover up involving aliens, it probably wouldn't.

Um, folks...
This is fiction, alternate reality. We are not going to find an actual filed report for an accident with a truck and a train that let an alien loose in Ohio. Even if there were such a real incident, if the UFO-conspiracy-nutcases haven't found it yet, I don't think we're going to suddenly unearth it as a result of research a JJ Abrams film.


Besides, you think the US Army is going to report that one of their ultra-secret alien transport trains had an accident?

Bah... You'll find about as many US Railway train wreck reports on this as you will find NTSB crash reports at Roswell. Wink

ETA:

IMDB site is up...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1650062/

...and it doesn't say anything we don't already know.

You know, J.J. Abrams is a busy guy: he's writing/producing this, MI4 *and* the "Cloverfield sequel" for 2011. But it's interesting to note that "Super 8" is the only one he's DIRECTING.
