Legitimate look or more bullsh*t?

You may recall a likely bogus image we ran last week that is said to be something out of J.J. Abram’s enigmatic new alien film SUPER 8. Well, today another pair of images of seeped in, and they’re also purported to come from the West Virginia set production, but there’s really no telling.

The new snaps first showed up on the Facebook page for Wildgame Innovations, said to be taken by a deer hunter on a reserve in Berwick, near Morgan City, Louisiana. It was first sold as real, but now inside sources close to the SUPER 8 production say it’s actually a viral image from the film. In fact, there’s a video from a young Weirton, West Virginian extra called “Crying Girl”, who discusses facing an encounter with the creature in the movie. Again, legit or straight ruse?!?

As for further scene details, the little girl (identified as Cameron Marie Saunders) says she’s accosted by a zombie in the film, trapped on an airplane with her mother. She had to cry, she had to scream, and apparently she pulled it off. I won’t go into the uncomfortable pedophilic tones the rest of the video embodies.

Starring Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Ron Eldard, Noah Emmerich Gabriel Basso, and Amanda Michalka (below) – SUPER 8 follows a group of teenagers that discover that they’ve captured the image of an alien creature on their super 8 camera. The film opens June 10th.
