Super 8


Super 8 is a 2011 American science fiction film written and directed by J. J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg. Super 8 stars Joel Courtney, Elle Fanning, and Kyle Chandler and was released on June 10, 2011 in conventional and IMAX theaters. Super 8 tells the story of a group of children who are filming their own Super 8 movie when a train derails, releasing a dangerous presence into their town. The movie was filmed in Weirton, West Virginia and surrounding areas. Abrams and Spielberg collaborated in a storytelling committee to come up with the story for the film. Super 8 was initially reported to be either a sequel or prequel to the 2008 film Cloverfield, but this was quickly denied by Abrams. Primary photography began in fall 2010. The teaser itself was filmed separately in April. Super 8 is the first original J. J. Abrams film project, produced by Amblin Entertainment, Bad Robot Productions, and Paramount Pictures. Filming took place in Weirton, West Virginia, from September to October 2010. The score for Super 8 was composed by Michael Giacchino, Abrams' long-time collaborator. Giacchino recruited his team of conductor Tim Simonec, recorder Dan Wallin and the Hollywood Studio Symphony to bring the music to life.
