 Possible Link
Just an Idea

Not sure if this has been discussed previously

A number of years ago I had watched a TV series called Taken... from Steven Spielburg
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289830/

Coincidentally with small little gray alien like creatures that can warp minds, telekinesis, take human form... across many years, including the time Super 8 appears to take place. Movie also has mentions tied to Groom Lake...

Yes, since Super8 is a hommage to Spielberg, I suppose many his works will be mirrored in the movie. I think, we should keep in mind many Spielbergs productions.

Glad I'm not the only one that drew this connection. I even re-started watching Taken today after getting that feeling from watching the new spot.

Oh, I think, I should also watch it. Were there some scientific researches in the series?

Thank you for the link! Real Lone Gunmen - that's awesome. And I also like Alien used Cyrillic. Тогда я, наверное, все пойму Smile

Im now also wondering if their could be a possible link between Dakota and Elle fanning for the movie...

Perhaps Elle Fanning plays Ally Keyes (Dakota Fannings character from Taken) only an older version of the girl. Elle would be the perftect actress to portray a grown up Ally Keyes. Guess we wont know untill names of the characters are released for Super 8.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ally keys is taken at the end of the series Taken, maybe she came back and the government had her? Maybe the aliens want her back?
