Super 8 is the J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg collaboration film
The trailer lasts about one minute and a half.
It begins with the Green MPAA screen, followed by the Paramount Pictures logo. No Bad Robot at the header.
A train rushes by the screen. We notice that it has lots of cargo.
Text comes on the screen: "In 1979, The U.S. Air Force Closed A Section of AREA 51."
We see the railroad crossing light blinking and ringing as the camera pans up we see some sort of light moving in the background. What is it? A UFO?
More Text: "All The Materials Were To Be Transported To A Secure Facility In Ohio."
No, it appears to be the headlights of a yellow 1970's truck, which skids in a 180 degree motion, and suddenly pulls onto the tracks.
Point of view of the truck heading into the light.
Black screen and white text: "From Producer Steven Spielberg"
We see the truck explode as it hits the train.
Then... the cargo train is heading towards the car explosion - BAM. It is wrecked, thrown from the tracks like a wild snake. The flaming metal body flipping towards the camera. Cars flying through the air. It is INTENSE.
Another black screen and the text: "And Director J.J. Abrams"
The camera really slowly moves in on the wrecked pieces of the train, most of which is now just scrap metal. At least one car remains intact.
Black screen, white test: "Next Summer"
We see some sparks.
Black screen, white text: "It Arrives"
We pull up on one of the train cars with a US Airforce logo. The wheel on the door begins to spin out of control as we pull in closer. The wall of the door begins to bend like some huge force is punching it from the inside.
Cut to one second of a close up of an 8mm camera lens.
Cut to black. White text: "Super 8″
The credits at the end were pretty bare.
Paramount Pictures Presents, An Amblin Entertainment/Bad Robot Production

Produced By Steven SpielbergJ.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk

It definitely feels like a late 1970's Spielberg film, think Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I'm excited to see what the actual movie is about."

Our earlier report revealed that Abrams had just recently finished the script so it seems this teaser was shot independently of the actual production. We'll be sure to keep you posted on any further details on Super 8 as soon as we have more information.
Super 8 was released June 10th, 2011 and stars Joel Courtney, Jessica Tuck, Joel McKinnon Miller, Ryan Lee, Zach Mills, Riley Griffiths, Gabriel Basso, Kyle Chandler. The film is directed by J.J. Abrams.

I saw the trailer this afternoon after playing the previews through for Iron Man 2. It was a big tease like the first Cloverfield trailer on Transformers back in the summer of 2007, It does look cool though but I don't believe it is connected to Cloverfield.

THIS IS NOT CONNECTED TO CLOVERFIELD!!! at least from what the trailers shows it isn't. unless its a baby cloverfield monster thats in the train. just wait to watch it when you watch Iron Man 2

I can confirm this. Directed by J.J. Adrams and produced by Steven Spielberg. It dosnt look like a hand film movie like cloverfield or paranormal activity. But it has something to do with area 51. looks pretty sick, you guys with have to check it out when you watch Iron Man 2. it will leave you wanting more

the "Area 51" part sounds a lot like Oren Peli's new film. Wonder if he's not doing his film anymore?

I don't think it's a remake of anything...it's an homage to Spielberg's earlier films, primarily his sci-fi stuff.
