A new Super 8 Poster has been released as well as a six-minute preview video.
The clips shows a group of children at the train station waiting for a train to arrive so that they can film a scene in their amateur movie with the train going past them, but their filmmaking is interrupted by some real life action.

Now that Super 8 is ready to debut, J.J. Abrams has turned his attention to Star Trek 2.
“The next thing we’re working on,” said Abrams, “and hopefully we’ll be able to pass information out sooner or later, is the next Star Trek.”
Deadline is reporting that soon Paramount will have good news and bad news regarding Star Trek 2.
The good news would be that J.J. Abrams would be returning to direct Star Trek 2 now that Super 8 is ready to be released.
Roberto Orci gave an update regarding the progress of Star Trek 2, due out next year.
As reported by TrekMovie.com, those working on the Trek sequel have completed an outline and are waiting to see if J.J. Abrams signs on as director.
With the release of Super 8 due next month, new clips of the J.J. Abrams’ movie have been emerging, giving movie fans an idea of what is in store for them.
The latest clip shows a train barreling down the railroad tracks towards a pick-up truck which is in its path.
More news on shows involving Star Trek actors, producers or writers has emerged from Hollywood, with some shows making the cut while others got the ax.
From the three big networks, first up is CBS, which announced that William Shatner‘s $#*! My Dad Says has been cancelled after airing eighteen episodes.
Several new short videos to promote J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 have been posted online.
More doom and mayhem can be seen in the latest videos released to promote Super 8, which is due out on June 10th.
Fox network has announced which shows it will keep for fall of 2011 and which shows have been axed and even though there were plenty of cancellations, J.J. Abrams‘ Alcatraz has survived the cuts.
Alcatraz joins three other new shows: The New Girl, I Hate My Daughter, and Finder, which will air this fall. Other shows which will appear on Fox include Terra Nova, Glee, Fringe and House.
Fans are waiting to see if J.J. Abrams will direct Star Trek 2.
Busy with Super 8, Abrams took time to speak about Damon Lindelof, and Abrams’ own involvement with Star Trek 2.
For J.J. Abrams, it might have been easier to work on a film using aliens from another planet than to work with inexperienced children on Super 8.
When it came to Super 8, some of the children had never been cast before, which was somewhat daunting for Abrams.
For anxious fans waiting for news of Star Trek XII, a small bit of news gives hope about the film being completed on time as well as the hope that J.J. Abrams will return to direct.
Chris Pine will be appearing in a new Jack Ryan film and he is expected to begin work on it in January, which means he’ll need to be finished with his Star Trek work by then.
“I’m told the hope is to start production on the Ryan film sometime in January,” said Deadline‘s Mike Fleming. “J.J. Abrams is busy finishing and will be promoting Super 8, but then he’s expected to be back at the helm of the Star Trek sequel, which has Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof finishing the screenplay. That film has a June 29, 2012 release date. Pine would then move right into Jack Ryan.”
Another one of J.J. Abrams‘s many irons in the fire has been revealed and as is often the case with an Abrams production, not much information is being released to the public.
Monica Breen and Alison Schapker, two writer/producers who have worked with Abrams on Fringe, Lost and Alias, will be rewriting the script for Zanbato, another Abrams project.
The ever-busy J.J. Abrams is adding another project to his lengthy list with the news that he will be collaborating on a new novel.
Abrams and novelist Doug Dorst (Alive in Necropolis) will work together on the new novel, set for release next year.
Script issues and the need for Chris Pine to be available for Star Trek XII have delayed plans for a new Jack Ryan movie.
The Ryan picture, tentatively titled Moscow, was supposed to bring the Jack Ryan franchise back to life, but issues with finding a writer have caused the delay. Steve Zaillian, who wrote the 1994 Clear and Present Danger, was slated to rewrite the script, but has had second thoughts regarding the project. Paramount is now interviewing again for a writer for the project.
In spite of recent low ratings, Fringe has been picked up for a fourth season.
Created by J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the sci-fi show, on which Leonard Nimoy has guest-starred, received an order for a full season.
