Yes, MORE Train Wreck Footage in Six Minute ‘Super 8’ Clip

Published

on

I can’t help but laugh just a little bit. This morning we brought you two very fresh clips from J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 (review) — and when I say “fresh” I am referring to the fact that they weren’t from the train crash sequence. In an unsurprising twist on the day, Paramount has released yet another stock of footage that blends the handful of previously displayed “train wreck” scenes (including the one that was a blend of three previous clips, ha!). If my count is right, this is the sixth clip? Anyways, you can watch six whole minutes inside, which does carry a few fresh snippets here and there.

Opening June 10, “In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth – something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.

Published

The classic murder-mystery game Clue is headed back to screens both big and small, with Variety reporting this week that Sony has acquired the film and television rights.

Variety reports, “Hasbro Entertainment has closed a deal with Sony‘s TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for the film and TV rights for the beloved board game.”

“Sony is the perfect partner to adapt a property as culturally impactful and mystery-defining as ‘Clue,’” said Hasbro Heads of Film and TV Zev Foreman and Gabriel Marano. “Nicole Brown, Katherine Pope, and their teams are tremendous creative collaborators and ideal partners to help us figure out after 75 years if it was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.”

Clue was created way back in 1943 by Anthony E. Pratt, and the board game was of course notably turned into a feature film starring Tim Curry in 1985 and a mini-series in 2011.

Ryan Reynolds had more recently been attached to star in a remake for 20th Century Studios, while Fox Entertainment had been developing an animated series a few years back.
