A minute long, extended TV spot has shown up for JJ Abrams’ much anticipated Super 8, featuring new footage that underlines how much this was inspired by Spielberg’s early work and the Amblin movies of the 1980s. Here’s the official synosis: In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth – something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined. The film hits UK cinemas August 19th.
