Feb 7, (THAINDIAN NEWS) All those who were dying to catch a glimpse of the much anticipated 2011 summer super block buster “Super 8″ finally had their wish granted on Sunday night when the movie trailer appeared during the Super Bowl match. The Super Bowl finale match being an annual event is watched by almost every American irrespective of the fact whether their team has made it to the final or not. This being the platform to catch the attention of the audience, commercial slots are booked at very high rates where some of the most sought after upcoming movies and commercials are aired.

It was a packed schedule this weekend with the football fans all set to witness the action of the Super Bowl XLV. With the bang of the Super Bowl, the “Super 8″ trailer was the perfect thing that the commercial slot had to offer. The much hyped about mystery flick has been written and directed by J.J. Abrams of “Lost” and “Mission Impossible III” fame. The Paramount Pictures distributed movie has been produced by none other than the veteran Steven Spielberg. Previous teasers had appeared earlier with divulging clues about an exploding train, a felled telephone pole but Sunday’s trailer which was of full full thirty seconds unleashed a more Spielbergian note of the flick.

The movie is scheduled to release on June 20, 2011 and stars Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Ron Eldard, Joel Courtney among others. The movie trailers were eagerly awaited for it is one of the forthcoming movies that had been tightly kept under the wraps. The collision of a train with a pick up truck, the derailment, a kid riding his bike in the fields all set in the typical American small town has certainly left a short but steady impression on the minds of those who watched it last night.
