I suppose a "toxic gas spill" would keep people in their homes and away from the crash site. This would be a great excuse for a UFO cover-up.
Just like in Close Encounters of the Third Kind..when The Army evacuates the town, reporting to the media that a train wreck has spilled a toxic nerve gas, meanwhile secretly preparing for a UFO landing.. Wink

 		Don't know if this is the right place to put it, didn't want to open a new thread for this odd idea.
You see, what if we "read it" the wrong way? What if Super 8 actually stands for superate. I know, kind of ridiculous, but that word has a meaning in Latin.
It's the plural imperative of the word "superare" which means (there are different opinions here) "to overcome", or to "conquer", "surpass", and some other speculations. Plural Imperative means the wordly translation would be "Overcome!" addressed to more than one person. I'm german so my english is not perfect. Would "You shall overcome" also be a correct translation?
I know, it's a wild theory. But might be another nice discussion Smile .

google

Edit: I know that the latin word would be pronounced/spoken in a totally different way but, stil, might be a pun.

 		I couldn't catch anything of interest going frame by frame during that crash.

 		Quick question...
Just a quick question, sorry if it's already been discussed, but has anybody looked into what it shows right when the train and car crash and you hear the "oh my god"? It looks like something may flicker by...

Well it's been reported in a few places that SUPER 8 is an homage to Spielberg films of the '70s/80s in general. If so, AMBLIN' was made before that period, which is not to say its off limits by any means. Then again, it's only 26 minutes long so the references will have to come fast. Smile

The most "telling" thing I've heard thus far in relation to Amblin (the production company, not the film) is that reportedly Spielberg is producing SUPER 8 from within Amblin Entertainment (along with Abrams' Bad Robot), thus keeping it separate from DreamWorks interests.


I think Super 8 will be a homage to Spielberg's 70s films, but JJ has done small homages to his own works before (Slusho in Fringe), I wouldnt be Super 8 has some Cloverfield related scenes. Maybesurprised if the creature will eat a large truck marked "Sea bed Nectar" and go bat****insane

 		If this should be in another thread so be it. If this was already mentioned i apologize and did attempt a search.

We all know how reliable wiki's are however i never saw an official release date for the film and found it to be released 5/11/2011.....

And secondly , another member mentioned this on may 10th however not in detail.


***Spielberg's first film was Amblin(shot in 35mm) ...and Super 8 is a "homage" to this film***

If this is true then I believe it will take aspects from the Amblin such as how it was shot and only two main characters but not much else.

but as the audio engineer that I am I would tell you that this is just the symbol of an ordinary Sine Wave. If you'd send it through some system it would sound something like "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" or any vocal. This is a very simple explanation, meant for laymans. By no means it is meant to devalue any interest.

myrddin42 bet me to it.
Very Happy

Theres been a change at http://www.super8-movie.com/

The trailer now plays automatically and there is this sine wave that pops up for a second in the center.

You can see it better here..

http://www.super8-movie.com/swf/s8.swf
i rewatched the trailer and the wave also showed up once like 20 sec in to the video but now i cant get it to show up again when i rewatch after that so it only did it once for me anyway
it showed at the beginning and then showed once behind the typing in the video but again it only did so once so maybe it was a fluke

 		It kind of looks like a test pattern.

Or perhaps an oscilloscope pattern...

 		Just seems a little strange that knowing how many fans there are looking for any clues, they would let this little stinky bait keep floating around out there...
Plus, I dont believe I have ever seen this symbol for any other trailer 'Loading"..
Screwy

 		Wave
Wave
That wave looks like it could be an audio wave, but its too consistant so i doubt it would be anything. There isnt anything hidden inside the wave, like text but if anything it would be a Audio wave we need to look for in the trailer to examine...

The other thing would be a light wave, but i dont know what else it could be

 		just to check
i looked up all the outer limits episodes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Outer_Limits_episodes


just to see if i saw a title or a date that would stand out like saturn or rocket poppeteer (which i knew was not going to happen Smile )

but i dont see anything so i would say outer limits is prob not anything maybe like you said it could be a tribute
