Has Super 8 Been Renamed Darlings?

Has Super 8 Been Renamed Darlings?

The mysterious JJ Abrams film seems to be going by a different name in Brazil and it's just Darling!

JJ Abrams has a history of keeping things a secrets when it comes to his films ans Super 8 is no different. If you'll remember, before Cloverfield opened, little was known about the film and once the trailer hit with Tranformers, it really didn't help much except we knew some thing big was happening...and it had to do with Cloverfield.

Once we saw the first Super 8, it seemed all too familiar. It was rumored a while back that Abrams would be remaking the Tatum O'Neal starred Little Darlings, a story about two teens who compete to lose their virginity while at summer camp. It turned out that he would just be using the name as a fake title for a casting call, which turned out to be Super 8.

The folks over at Movie Web have discovered a Brazilian version of the Super 8 trailer, which all great and dandy, except it's titled Darlings . Paramount has not said whether or not this is an official title change or if Darlings is a title that will be solely used in Brazil.

It's an odd title change if this turns out to be true. It is suspected that the film is similar to Cloverfield in that it is an alien movie and the young stars of the movie film this alien adventure using a super 8 camera. Take a look at the trailer below and you decide.

I'm thinking two things.

1. Little grey men - what an obvious choice for an alien movie but one we haven't seen since x files.

2. The physique children seemed like a cool idea Super 8 as on eight year olds. The supposed faces in the trailer.

I exhausted myself trying to figure cloverfield out. Did every viral I could and I got so close and then I saw the movie and I was far far off. This movie is gonna be a huge surprise.

Nope. It's just the production title like Rory's First Kiss was for The Dark Knight. It's still called Super 8.

Ugh, [frick]ing trolls.

This is stupid. Darlings??? WTF?

It doesnt surprise me though, in Brazil a lot of times when they translate a title, or make the brazilian version of the title (like in this case), they come up with something flat out dumb.

When they translate then, it's awful. It sounds like they have an 85 year old grandpa that barely speaks english, entittled with this job.

This movie will rock though, cant wait. Still hoping it's a Cloverfield prequel (although Im sure it isnt).

If not, hope it comes up soon, whether it's a prequel, sequel, sidequal, whateverthef*ckequal

ThIs is why jj Abrams should never do a cbm marvel or dc because the very nature of his style if production gives a reliability issue because
He keeps very thing secret until the last minut wheres very cbm fan wants to see and hear things early and want films to be promoted which Abrams dosnt do
Like James Cameron he is a very powerful directed that dosnt like to take orders from studios while everyone knows that marvel and dc films are best under the scoure who makes em not a guy who will do his own completly diffremt chArecter like Cameron whose spider man script whose so different from anything spider man that it wasn't technecly a spider man fim

All in all Abrams is not the type for cbms and better for mystery/supernatural/ horror.
Plus he dosnt write comics like josh whedon dous thus the later is directing the avengers and not abrams

I doubt Darlings will be the title. Most films have decent titles for their monster films. Darlings is kinda stupid, even if it's implying that they are not in fact darlings, as a inside joke kind of, either way, I'll watch it, title means nothing really.

Awesome find! This could either be an international title or his could be an all around name change. The trailer came out before this thing went into production if I'm correct and I guess they must have chose the title for it, or who knows really. Looking forward to hearing more.

"darlings" is probably a secret name for "super 8",like "blue harvest" was the secret name for "star wars".
