New SUPER 8 Poster reveals strangers from above

The new Japanese poster for Super 8 is obviously going to bring to mind Steven Spielberg.  If innocent and curious kids running around a small town didn’t already bring to mind the mega Hollywood director, this new poster will certainly do the trick.  More specifically, it shares a striking resemblance to the poster for Close Encounters of the Third Kind.  Yet the big news is that the poster reveals the aliens in the film! Well . . . not really, actually.  It just kind of shows some lights in the sky.  At any rate, check out the poster after the jump.

Super 8 hits theaters on June 10th.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
