'Super 8' Trailer Reveals 'Close Encounter' With Characters
The full-length trailer introduces the children and police chief
at the heart of J.J. Abrams upcoming alien flick.

Though the title "Super 8" might reference an old school video camera, the first full-length trailer for the film, which was posted on the movie's Twitter feed early Friday morning (March 11), finally shows us that J.J. Abrams' latest is going to be about much more than just a mysterious event accidentally caught on film.
Plot details have been scarce since "Super 8" was first announced, but the latest full-length trailer shows that Abrams and producer Steven Spielberg are ready to give us some context for the film. If the teaser trailer and Super Bowl ad were all about the mysterious story, this latest look at the flick is about introducing us to the characters.
Enter the young children at the center of the film, led by newcomer Joel Courtney. The sparse plot details previously released about "Super 8" told us that the movie would follow these kids after they accidentally capture footage on their Super 8 camera of a mysterious "something" escaping a train crash. The new trailer sets this up pretty blatantly, but with a larger look at the setting for the film.
In addition to Courtney, Elle Fanning is introduced in the trailer as the object of the young boy's affections, and "Friday Night Lights" star Kyle Chandler is shown as Courtney's concerned father, who doesn't want him to hang around too much with his young filmmaking friends as they make a zombie movie. Turns out Chandler also is the police chief in town, and when whatever was in the train escapes, he is the one forced to deal with it as he gradually realizes that the government is hiding something from all of them.
Comparisons have already been drawn between "Super 8" and "E.T.," "War of the Worlds" and "The Goonies," but this trailer hearkens back mostly to Spielberg's 1977 classic, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." In the same way that the "Close Encounters" aliens were something to be revered and not despised, the "Super 8" creature could possibly be more magical than evil — then again, how to explain all the missing dogs?
Abrams has proven with his previous projects like "Cloverfield" and "Lost" that he is the master of creating five questions by answering one, and the same can be said about this latest, more plot-driven sneak peek. The second half of the trailer raises about a million more questions about the plot of the film. What exactly was released during the train crash? Why is it having a strange effect on the townspeople? And is it really as dangerous as the government would lead the characters to believe?
Unfortunately, we have to wait until June 10 to find out.
Check out everything we've got on "Super 8."

Eddie Cibrian Cast as 'Playboy' Star
Eddie Cibrian may have put a ring on LeAnn Rimes' finger, but the actor is taking on a new, philandering role as quite the ladies man.
According to Deadline.com, the former CSI: Miami star had landed the lead role in the new NBC pilot entitled Playboy. Cibrian will be playing Nick Dalton, an attorney with mob connections. The drama is set in 1963 and centers around a high society Chicago Playboy club.
Cibrian's new alter-ego is described as "the ultimate Playboy," and it may not to be too difficult for the actor to get into character. While we're aware that he's currently committed to Rimes, it wasn't that long ago that the actor cheated on his then-wife Brandi Glanville, while filming a TV movie with his current fiancée.
But let's hope Cibrian's wandering eye days are over, and that he'll be able to squash any other possible temptations that may arise. For Rimes' sake, we're hoping playing a playboy is all the excitement he can handle.

Michael Jackson's 'Moonwalker' To Get U.S. Theater Debut?
A Hollywood cinema is searching for a print of MJ's 1988 film
with plans to give it a 'one night only' screening.

Michael Jackson's short-film anthology "Moonwalker" may finally get a debut theatrical screening in the United States more than 20 years after it was released.
Back in 1988, MJ first unveiled the ambitious project, which contained several long-form videos for songs off his then-just-released Bad album, including his famous 25-minute clip for "Smooth Criminal." The film had been scheduled to be released in U.S. theaters that Christmas, but for whatever reason, that plan was scrapped. The movie was released on VHS early in 1989, and — surprise, surprise — became a massive success. But now, more than two decades after its debut, one theater is planning to give "Moonwalker" a proper premiere here in the States.
According to TMZ, Hollywood's Arclight Cinemas is actively searching for a print of the film, with plans to show it on the big screen ... for one night only.
The idea came after Jackson fans flooded Arclight's Facebook page with requests to show "Moonwalker," and the theater is now on the hunt for a copy of the flick. Even if the search is successful, there's no word on when the premiere would occur. The theater had not responded to MTV News' e-mail seeking a comment by press time.
However, Jackson fans might not want to hold their breath. In a follow-up story, TMZ reported that the late singer's estate had blocked Arclight's attempts to secure a print of the film, with a spokesperson for the theater telling the website: "We contacted the film's directors and producers and were finally directed to MJ's estate attorney [who] let us know the estate has the [film's] rights but have no plans to make ... prints available for rent at this time."
"Moonwalker" features videos for Jackson tracks like "Speed Demon" (directed by Claymation innovator Will Vinton), "Leave Me Alone" (which was released as a promo and won Jackson a 1989 Grammy for Best Music Video, Short Form) and, as mentioned, the iconic "Criminal," which features Jackson battling a group of mobsters led by Joe Pesci.
The flick also served as the inspiration for the super-awesome Sega game "Moonwalker, which featured a digital MJ morphing into a laser-blasting robot with the aid of his chimpanzee pal, Bubbles.
Would you go see a theatrical screening of Jackson's "Moonwalker" film? Tell us in the comments.
