New Super 8 clip has the kids wishing for better production values

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

After months and months of roiled speculation, the mystery of J.J. Abrams’ SUPER 8 is slowly starting to unravel. At the same time, the giant “what is it” question that cruxes the film has yet to be revealed. All the more reason to peep the new minute-and-a-half clip from the film we have below!

In the new clip, watch the lovable band of kiddies scramble to incorporate the approaching train into their “super 8” home-movie. Instant “production value” the de facto director barks out, of course, when the train goes kablooey, the camera is left rolling to film something unimaginable. What that something actually is we’ll have to find out June 10th.

Featuring Elle Fanning, Amanda Michalka (below), Kyle Chandler, Ron Eldard, Noah Emmerich, Gabriel Basso, Joel Courtney, Zach Mills, Katie Lowes, Marco Sanchez and Ryan Lee – SUPER 8 puts us:

In the summer of 1979, where a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness 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.
