SUPER 8 Trailer Makes me all kinds of Nostalgic

Right off the bat with the Amblin Entertainment logo, this trailer awakens my inner child and makes me long to watch this film as a 10 yr. old on a VHS tape in my parent’s living room.  I really like the story that Mr. Spielberg and Abrams has put together, and I feel this film is going to be a great combination of sc-fi, horror, and coming of age genres.  Super 8 clearly has me excited . . . and you might be too after you watch the official trailer after the jump.

The summer blockbuster will be released this upcoming June.  Oh … and as you watch the trailer, good luck trying not reminiscing about your childhood years playing with action figures and going on adventures with your friends.

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.
