\"\"<\/a>Speculation as to what JJ Abram’s top secret project Super 8<\/strong> continues to swirl around the internet. When the news<\/a> first broke earlier this week, many thought that this could be a sequel to Cloverfield, a school of thought that was further strengthened by a report from Vulture that “absolutely connected to 2008’s Cloverfield<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Well, Vulture<\/a> managed to catch up with Abrams himself and asked him point blank if it was indeed the case that Super 8<\/strong> was a prequel\/sequel to the 2008 monster film. While Abrams complimented them on their reportage, he shot down the story they ran in no uncertain terms, saying that Super 8<\/strong> “has nothing whatsoever to do with Cloverfield<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

So we do believe Abrams or is he lying to help preserve the surprise of what Super 8<\/strong> actually is? Who knows? I somehow don’t think we’ll even get a definitive answer when the trailer debuts this weekend in front of Iron Man 2<\/strong>. No matter how the final film turns out, at least the promotion will keep us entertained for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
