Super 8

Anyone in the filmmaking business right now in their 20s or 30s is probably there because of Steven Spielberg. When I was in second grade I wrote a book report on a biography of the celebrated director. I recently revisited Close Encounters Of The Third Kind on TV and was struck by its ability to combine some pretty out-there ideas with characters and themes to which anyone could easily relate.

This summer will see the release of Super 8, a collaboration between Spielberg and sci-fi director J.J. Abrams. By the looks of this new trailer, it's old-school Amblin. I can't wait to see it, with all the father issues and childhood innocence you come to expect...
