Concept designer and creature creator Neville Page has worked on such films as "Green Lantern," "Tron: Legacy," "Piranha 3D," "Avatar," "Star Trek," "Watchmen," "Cloverfield," "Watchmen" and many others.

Wired caught up with Page (watch video below), who said that he has now been tasked with figuring out what the monster will look like in JJ Abrams' "Super 8" sci-fi film. "When that door blows open, it's the ultimate reveal," he said of the teaser trailer. "It's Elvis or something."

He went on to say that Abrams will likely rely on classic special effects to bring the monster to life, rather than making it completely computer animated. "I'll bet you anything there's going to be a rubber something or other at some point," said Page.

He also revealed that Alexandre Aja asked him to ask Cameron to make a cameo in "Piranha 3D," since Cameron directed the second installment back in 1981. Unfortunately, the Oscar-winning director was busy making "Avatar" at the time.

J.J. Abrams is like M. Night Shyamalan in his technique of suspense but with more money.
