J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 trailer debut

The trailer for J.J. Abrams‘ not-so-secret project Super 8 has debuted online. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that the man can put together an enticing teaser.

So, it’s pretty great. The original description of the trailer provided by Vulture turned out to be false – you can read all about it here. However, with this teaser we now know that Super 8 is indeed the project Abrams’ intends to be a “tip of the hat” to Steven Spielberg‘s films of the late 1970s/early 1980s. Spielberg himself is producing.

Anyway, no more chatter. Enjoy:

And that is all we currently know about the film. Oh, and it’s in no way related to Cloverfield. Super 8 hits cinemas mid-2011.

Discuss: How does that teaser compare with the nameless-teaser that was originally released for Cloverfield?
