Another year, another JJ Abrams monster movie, and its no surprise that “leaks” are starting to spring up around the internet, claiming to have the inside scoop on what exactly his alien(s) are going to look like in SUPER 8.
From the surely reliable IMDB user SS-Cotapaxi comes this picture along with the explanation of why it’s totally legit:
“So, my friends’s brother’s wife works for a company that does marketing for films, video games, music, etc. Occasionally she’ll get chain mails from these companies which aren’t supposed to go to them. A few days ago she received a chain mail intended for production staff within Paramount.”
And voila:
Well, it’s certainly alien looking, I’ll give it that. It actually reminds me of some of the old Cloverfield “concept art” before that movie came out. Yeah, it’s not quite what we ended up seeing, but it’s on the right track, and perhaps this version could be as well?
