Okay, I have no idea whether this fits in with the giant monster genre, or not, but since I have already written about this film twice, and since there is still an outside chance this may be linked to "Cloverfield", I'll continue to monitor news on "Super 8".

Since "Iron Man 2" started screening last night at midnight, you just knew that somebody would sneak in a camera and film the trailer for J.J. Abrams mystery movie, "Super 8".

As luck would have it, Todd Brown of Twitch film was able to go onto Youtube in the early hours a find a bootleg copy of the trailer right on schedule.

What do we learn about this mystery movie from this teaser? Not much.

Here is the skinny, in 1979 a train transporting....um...some stuff from Area 51 in Nevada is intercepted by somebody in a pickup truck, who crashes into it causing it to derail. From the wreckage, something, big, and angry, forces it's way out of an armoured box car.

Now, from the information that leaked out earlier this week, it can be assumed that this is the alien (monster) that gets captured on a home movie filmed by a bunch of teens.

What is it?

Nobody knows.

Is it the monster, or relative of the monster, from "Cloverfield"?

Nobody knows.......though Abrams denies that the two films are related.

Of course, some sources say that it is.

Confused?

Certainly, everybody is. The funny thing about J.J. Abrams, and now Steven Spielberg also, is that you never know exactly what your going to get. The film maker has a major 'hard-on' for mysteries.

Without a doubt more info on "Super 8" will come to light at this years San Diego Comic Con, but even so, don't expect Abrams to tip his hat too much.

In conjunction with the release of this teaser trailer, Paramount has launched a new website for "Super 8", but you find out anything by visiting that either.

Here is the bootleg trailer for "Super 8":

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.
