Last time there was rumble about J. J. Abrams movie, it was "Cloverfield. "The name meant . . . well, to this to day I don't know, and don't care. I liked it, even though it required you to suspend all disbelief about the longevity of camcorder batteries. Now rumors say he has another secret project, with the supersecret title "Super 8," and the trailer, which will tell you nothing, will run during the Iron Man 2 premier. Could be a Cloverfield sequel; could be this rumored Speilberg collab, to use awful Vareity-like Hollywood slang.

Grainy cellphone video will be up within seconds of its release, so we'll post it here ASAP. That's what they want us to do, you know. That's exactly what they want us to do.

By the way, this is why people love J.J. Abrahms - he doesn't just give them "Lost" and "Star Trek" and other delights, he makes secret movies.
