'Super 8' looks super awesome!

While it’s not expected to arrive in theaters until next summer, the new J.J. Abrams-directed and Steven Spielberg-produced Area 51 movie “Super 8″ is already generating a lot of attention.

The super secret trailer debuted in the “Iron Man 2″ release. It’s a movie about Area-51 and the title is thought to be an homage to the type of camera, which was used by Spielberg in his youth. Abrams is a big Spielberg fan and there’s speculation that the movie is in some way an homage to him.

Some reports have said that this is a sequel to Cloverfield, but it’s not. The first two title cards read “In 1979, the U.S. Air Force closed a section of Area 51″ and “All materials were to be transported to a secure facility in Ohio.” The next two confirm that it is from producer Stephen Spielberg and director J.J. Abrams, and the final card that Super 8 will be arriving next summer. There is also some business involving a truck, a train, an explosion, and a mysterious container, but you will have to watch the trailer for yourself to see all that.
