Super 8 Monster Concept Art?


MovieWeb has posted what it claims could be a piece of concept art from JJ Abrams' Super 8 which he is currently directing in West Virginia. Like all his projects, the film is classified with even the basic details of the plot being withheld. The image has the expected Paramount and Bad Robot logos along with a design aesthetic that reminds me of the Cloverfield creature but that could also mean someone just put a little extra effort in their fake image. A strike against the picture is the source is an IDMB user who posted:

"So, my friend's brother's wife works for a company that does marketing for films, video games, music, etc. Occasionally she'll get chain mails from these companies, which aren't supposed to go to them. A few days ago she received a chain mail intended for the production staff within Paramount."

Once a project is finished, IMDB.com can be a solid source of information as I suspect they get the official details about a film or TV show direct from the studio. Until then, information is often provided by the community resulting in a lot of inaccuracies. As a result, unless Paramount issues a takedown notice, take the image as a rumor but not fact for Super 8.
