A fiery train wreck, missing dogs, unexplained deaths and something menacing inside a military shipping container.
A government coverup being questioned by a righteous cop and a group of cute kids.
The first full trailer for director J.J. Abrams' upcoming homage to classic sci-fi movies sketches out a tried-and-true formula for the kind of mythic filmmaking done by Steven Spielberg in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Not a giant surprise, given that Spielberg's an executive producer of the movie, and that paying tribute to the enduring movies of decades' past was one of Abrams' goals for the project.
Friday's first-of-its kind Twitter premiere of the Super 8 trailer came about thanks to a partnership between the microblogging site and Paramount Pictures.
"With Twitter, fans are able to foster a real-time conversation in a communal viewing environment and we wanted people everywhere to have the chance to discover the Super 8 trailer here first, " said Amy Powell, Paramount's executive vice president of interactive marketing strategies and film production.
Can't wait to see the movie, but for now this is all we have. Super 8 opens June 10.
