'Super 8' Super Bowl TV Spot

A TV spot was shown during the Super Bowl for  JJ Abrams' highly secretive film project, Super 8.  For those of you who missed the TV spot, you can view it below.

The project has been kept under wraps since the highly speculative teaser trailer was released back in May. It is not unusual for Abrams to keep his projects secretive while leaking short teasers virally on the web (aka Cloverfield).

The synopsis according to the Paramount Pictures, Steven Spielberg produced Super 8 is
    "set in Ohio in 1979 and introduces a troupe of six youngsters who are using a Super 8 camera to make their own zombie movie. One fateful night, their project takes them to a lonely stretch of rural railroad tracks and, as the camera rolls, calamity strikes — a truck collides with an oncoming locomotive and a hellacious derailment fills the night with screaming metal and raining fire. Then something emerges from the wreckage, something decidedly inhuman."

Recently, Abrams spoke with the guys over at Hero Complex revealing some pretty interesting details about the plot and, one of its stars, 12 year old Elle Fanning (yep-Dakota's sister).  Check out the full length interview with loads of details over at Hero Complex.
