JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg set release date for SUPER 8

Not much is known about Super 8. Written and Directed by the annoyingly masterful JJ Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg, it has now been confirmed that the film will be released on JUNE 10 2011.

The film stars Kyle Chandler (The Day the Earth Stood Still) and Elle Fanning (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), and several newcomers.

Plot details remain mysterious, but the alien-themed story, set in 1979, pays homage to some of Abrams' favorite movies as a kid, including Spielberg's films, such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. The idea has a group of kids playing around with Super 8 cameras who accidentally capture something sinister.


This scheduling puts the film up against Fast Five, the action sequel with Vin Diesel and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, and Something Borrowed starring Kate Hudson.

Abrams still plans to produce sequels for Star Trek, which he is likely to also direct, as well as Cloverfield with Matt Reeves (Let Me In) directing

Spielberg is currently still busy with both War Horse and TinTin: Secret of the Unicorn which are both due out in December 2011 through Spielberg's SKG Dreamworks production facility.
