“Super 8″ Viral Hits The Physical World

SlashFilm reports that their headquarters received a mysterious "Super 8" film package in the mail.

Today /Film HQ received a small unmarked envelope containing an old box of for a Kodak Super 8 cartridge (Type A). Must be some creepy viral for the Steven Spielberg-produced JJ Abrams-directed film Super 8. Makes sense, right? So…. inside the box was, as expected, a reel of Super 8 film. And…

The 8mm film on the reel had been developed/printed. It begins with a missing placeholder card, and then shows a dozen or so scientist-looking people in a room. Thankfully the box also contained a small little flash drive with the Super 8 logo (I guess, in case I had not yet figured it out…). On the drive is a digital version of this small black and white clip. You can watch it now embedded below:

I’m not sure what it means. I’m sure the other footage to complete this is out there somewhere. My file is named EX_1A_046.mov, so maybe I have the 46th piece of the puzzle? Or maybe that has nothing to do with anything? What do you think?

The package also contained the following card:

I have already sent an e-mail with the unlock code so you don’t have to. The e-mail has yet to trigger a response, I’m sure other codes must be sent before the “advanced look” can be unlocked.

Meet the Kids in First Official 'Super 8' Image

From BD Horror:

As part of their summer preview, Paramount Pictures has provided Bloody Disgusting with the first official still from Super 8, a Bad Robot/Amblin Entertainment Production that teams writer/director J.J. Abrams with the legendary Steven Spielberg. ...

Below you'll find the first ever image featuring (from left to right) Elle Fanning as "Alice Dainard" and Joel Courtney as "Joe". The poor kid in the background doesn't get a credit. I'd also like to note that there's "something" in the lens. Can anyone make out what it is?
