Okay, this is starting to get annoying!

Within the last day and a half, J.J. Abrams latest film, "Super 8" has gone from unknown film, to "Cloverfield" prequel, to just a monster movie.....maybe.

In case you just wandered into this mess, on Tuesday morning Collider.com reported that there was going to be a mystery trailer, produced by J.J. Abrams, attached to "Iron Man 2" for a film called "Super 8". A few hours later, Bloody Disgusting reported that the film in question was indeed the prequel to Abrams 2008 monster film, "Cloverfield."

Now.....well Abrams is saying, 'Nice try, but no."

Reportedly when the film maker learned that websites were reporting that his new film was the long-rumoured "Cloverfield" follow-up, he denied it saying, "You have to check [out the trailer], but it has nothing whatsoever to do with Cloverfield, despite your expert reporting."

It seems that Bloody Disgusting tried to confirm their report with a rep from Paramount and were met with confusion.

So for now, "Super 8" is not the "Cloverfield" sequel..........who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Abrams did, however, confirm that the film in question is about a bunch of kids who discover that there is an alien (monster?) in their home movie.

So, here is the million dollar question, is this another of Abrams tricks? I mean, really, could this be another bit of misdirection from the film maker?

Could this be more "Cloverfield", "Godzilla 2012" or just another alien film, possibly co-produced by Steven Spielberg?

For some odd reason, I expect to be writing about another twist tomorrow.
