JJ Abrams, the director behind “Star Trek” and “Mission: Impossible 3”, also producer of “Cloverfield” has teamed up with Steven Spielberg to present his new film, “Super 8”. Some people caught a glimpse of the trailer during “Iron Man 2”, but if you have not yet seen it, check it out here:

There has been a lot of recent speculation on what the film is about. Some believe it is a prequel to “Cloverfield”, and some say it is an alien invasion film that would pay homage to Steven Spielberg’s earlier work like “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”. The trailer is interesting, but the CGI is pretty close to terrible. While it still holds my interest, it does not get me anywhere near as excited as I was about the first trailer I saw for “Cloverfield” in theaters.
