Kids and monsters go together like aliens and big bad government men with guns. There seems to be plenty of things in J.J. Abrams’ latest, the Steven Spielberg-produced (and dare I say, heavily inspired) “Super 8″, which has unearthed a new theatrical trailer and poster. Check them both out below.

Set in Ohio in 1979, a troupe of six youngsters are using a Super 8 camera to make their own zombie movie. One fateful night, their project takes them to a lonely stretch of rural railroad tracks and, as the camera rolls, calamity strikes – a truck collides with an oncoming locomotive and a hellacious derailment fills the night with screaming metal and raining fire. Then something emerges from the wreckage, something decidedly inhuman.

Starring Elle Fanning, Kyle Chandler, Ron Eldard, Noah Emmerich, Gabriel Basson, Joel Courtney, Ryan Lee, Zach Mills, Amanda Michalka, and unleashed June 10, 2011.
