Super 8: Brazilian Trailer
Though we have contacted Paramount about the change, we're still not sure if Super 8 is being retitled Darlings in the States, or if Darlings is being used solely as a title in Brazil, where the meaning of Super 8 may not translate.
As you may remember, Cloverfield was a working title that had nothing to do with the actual contents of that movie itself. Cloverfield was the road address of J.J. Abrams's Bad Robot production offices in Los Angeles. Cloverfield was referred to as that for so long, they eventually let it stand. It is quite possible that the title Super 8 actual has nothing to do with the plot of J.J. Abrams latest, and that it is instead just a working title reference to the Super 8 films he made as a kid. With such a young cast at the center of Super 8, Darlings might actually be a better title. But if its officially changed, will it stick? Or will people just continue to call it Super 8 in the long run?
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.

meh. I can wait a few weeks and get used to the actual title instead of the speculation now. Super pumped for this movie in general though.

Well, that's okay. I am curious as to the change, as @B. Alan said above, we aren't sure if Super 8 was ever the real title. However, I find it does stick a lot better than "Darlings". Lol.

It is a good choice to change the hotel titled movie. But this is the best they have? Hopefully they are right and this is just the title in Brazil.
