Instead of uploading all sorts of odd rips at various file sharing sites, why not go right to the source:
http://trailers.apple.com/movies/paramount/super8/super8-sbspot_h1080p.mov
You will probably want to make your user agent string mimic Quicktime to make it work right.

I've been messing around with some stills in Photoshop and stuff. In terms of the "board" still from the end of the trailer, I came across something interesting.

From how I'm seeing it, there appears to be a black man/woman (can't really tell).

First of all - it's not kind of monster (if it monster at all) like clovie. It definietly use sort of telekinesis - and control electricity and other stuff (turning on the cars , blinking lights in room , bus) It is small - They're burning the field to find/kill it so it was able to hide in this field.

I wonder if the creature is visible at all (new sort of energy) -in the moment house explodes you can see something like smoke mixed with lightning hitting/coming out of the upper left site of the house(it is not the cloud on the sky)

Scene with the shop - If it's coming out of the shop - why the smoke is outside before it blows ? And look at the people -everyone is looking to the sky and this cloud looks like it is coming from the sky too

I've only skimmed through this thread, so trout me if need be.... Is it me though, or does that object in the still frame look more like an insect-like leg rather than a mouth?

Guys just because we SAW 1962 in the trailer DOESN'T mean that the film is going to take place then. To be honest if it did then the "kids filming a zombie movie" theory wouldn't make much sense because the modern vision of the zombie wasn't introduced until 1968. So I vote that its still 1979. The kids are filming their movie when they see the crash, trying to outrun the debris and whatnot they drop the camera (as seen in the trailer) which continues to record. It captures whatever is inside the boxcar escaping and is now incriminating evidence against the government (or something). Not wanting to be found out the military is sent in to try and stop them from squealing to the press, under the guise of some sort of evacuation (hence the buses). Whatever is inside the car is extremely powerful and might be something that maybe calls the aliens down to earth or something (or maybe is an alien) and we end up in a darker version of E.T.


To point out the obvious when we see the zombie kid it's the middle of the day, the crash happens at night. There is also a military helicopter flying in the background of the zombie scene, don't think anyone has pointed this out yet.

Good morning, and I'm already here, and you people are awesome with new analysis Smile

One thing, which wasn't mentioned here, (and you can trout me, if it was) -
the reflection in the falling camera is now much better.

I exported frame by frame with After Effects this movement, which you can find here: http://s234.photobucket.com/albums/ee240/kosmopol/super8camera/

I advice to check out every frame, perhaps I missed something.
But I think here you can see the better things.

Alright, I actually figured something out, I think. Let's recap.

1. What if whatever was busting out of the cargo door wasn't big, but small.
2. What if it wasn't just one, but many?
3. What if there was an entire group of these little creatures, and they have telekinetic/electric abilities?
4. What if the kids aren't just running from one alien, but an army of them?

well maybe not many...but it does look like whatever is in that lens has little legs, and is shooting some blue plasma or electricity at an object...?

I CAN'T believe no one saw this yet.

Nov. 19, 1962; Tampa, Florida
Three star-like objects approached horizontally, hovered. "Impression was that objects were under intelligent control at all times." Unidentified. (Air Force Project Blue Book 1962 Summary.)

the filming location

the location in Weirton WV where the used car lot was set up was also near the location where they filmed the spaceship in the sky at night. The cars in the lot acting weird could be a nod to Speilberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind when spaceships caused cars to malfunction, lights to flash, etc... Watch the men look up in the next shot (although there are no guarantees that those shots are in sequence).

My prediction is that this movie is, in part, sort of a melding of ET and Close Encounters, but with an unfriendly alien. It's JJ's tribute to Speilberg.

Hey kosmopol, I was looking at the third frame you posted of the reflections in the camera lens in Final Cut and AE too, when I increased the exposure on that frame I saw A LOT of layered images, but more important, I saw what looks like very thing, small "human-esque" shaped things crawling towards the camera. Did you see the same thing?

maybe the creature's mouth or it opening something



If that is indeed a mouth (not saying it is) it looks strikingly similar to Clover's mouth... same jawline and teeth position.


Wow, I didn't even see a mouth the first time. It does resemble a mouth. I thought it looked like rope or some kind of braided line. Still not sure what the rope is connected to? Looks like the back of that things head from Goonies. What was his name, Lars? Haha!

Yeah, people, you're right. There is perhaps something.
This multilayer is perhaps the reflections in various lenses of the objective.

OK, people, here is the original HD footage with falling camera. It's pretty huge: 128 Mb for only 2 seconds, lol. But you can see it in best quality I could achieve.

Just download it and we can analyse the original together
