Back in the summer of 2007, moviegoers who went to see the blockbuster hit Transformers were baffled by a mysterious trailer attached to the film which featured only a glimpse of some mysterious footage and a release date. This later turned out to be the first trailer for the J.J. Abrams-produced film Cloverfield. Three years later, it seems that Abrams is up to his old tricks again and, according to Hitfix, we will see another mysterious trailer for a secret J.J. Abrams film attached to prints of Iron Man 2 this weekend!
It was reported last week that Abrams and Steven Spielberg were collaborating on a new film project, but the site believes the trailer will not be for this. Instead, they are reporting that the film is being called Super 8 and it is "rumored to be a Cloverfield sequel," although it was believed that Abrams would not be directing this film himself. Strict security measures are already being taken to ensure the trailer isn't leaked before the film's release. Here's an image of an instructional letter given to theater owners for this weekend's Iron Man 2, which reveals that the reel with the trailers won't even be unlocked until Thursday afternoon.
Little else is known about this project, and we'll have to wait until
Iron Man 2 opens to find out more. We'll be sure to keep you posted on this mysterious project if more information arises!
Iron Man 2 hits cinemas in the US on Friday and is out now in the UK!
