J.J. Abrams has opened up about Super 8.
Abrams, who directed the monster movie Cloverfield as well as the recent Star Trek reboot, spoke to the Los Angeles Times about the forthcoming film.
“To me, all people need to know is that it’s an adventure about a small town and it’s funny, it’s sweet, it’s scary and there’s a mystery: What is this thing that has escaped? What are the ramifications of its presence? And what is the effect on people? But I know that’s not enough,” he said.
The helmer continued: “Look, I feel we need a little bit of a coming-out party because we are up against massive franchises and brands and most people don’t know what Super 8 means.
“We’re a complete anomaly in a summer of huge films… and we don’t want to be so silent or coy that people don’t care or don’t hear about it.”
Super 8 is expected to open in theatres on June 10.
