I noticed in the comments, and on other movie sites, that there is an image floating around that claims to be concept art from a Bad Robot/Paramount film and I feel like we're reliving the Cloverfield days all over again. I can say with confidence that I believe this picture is not related to Super 8 or even Bad Robot/Paramount at all. When Cloverfield started it's viral campaign there were lots of "concept" drawings that started to leak yet none of them were real and all done by fans of the project, which is exactly what I think this is. Actually this image may just be a concept drawn by someone for a completely different purpose, but someone found it and slapped the Paramount Logo on it. Also, Neville Page is the one doing the creature design for Super 8 (also the same person that did the Cloverfield creature among others) and he has a pretty distinct signature which, if this were legit concept art by Mr. Page, I think we'd be able to see even if we couldn't read it clearly.
So while this is a cool image I wouldn't get your hopes up for this being the creature. There is so much secrecy around this movie that I don't think anyone is going to get a glimpse of the creature until the movie comes out, just like Cloverfield.
Update (thanks to Jane): As I figured, it has nothing to do with Super 8. The artist is Patrick Reilly (http://preilly.deviantart.com/gallery/) and he's also responsible for some of the Cloverfield fan art that was floating around when people were talking about what that creature could possibly be. Some of the guys on unfiction emailed Patrick asking if the art was his and they got the following responses:
Yes, except for all the writing.
Where did you find that?Thanks for the heads up.
As for the Cloverfield art, that was just fan art based on the descriptions that some people had given.
A few days after I created it, I noticed several websites claiming it was official concept art.Anyways, Ill look into those websites claiming it's Super 8 concept art.
So I'm still glad I posted this as it would have floated around for a while with people thinking it was real, so now we can move on.
The guys over at unfiction mailed this artist that had similar cloverfield type art. This was his responce to “is this your Art:
“Yes, except for all the writing.
Where did you find that? ‘
“Thanks for the heads up.

Ps. this guy can really create tho.. maybe some big company will give him a call =P
I’m very glad this isn’t it because I would be let down 100%
its… cowboys and aliens, not monsters. little kids and aliens its more so close to encounters 4 than cloverfield 2. From all that RP stuff is strange that folks are still pushin for some building crushin creature. If it is true, i suspect a half breed fish alien, but thats too far fetch. …and fetch can’t happen on its own. The studio most consider the other flicks, and try to seal the deal with a strong pilot, i mean plot.
Other than that how far has the campaign gotten, and why is hookline down? Has Josh kicked the bucket? I checked for DEC. calendar, but nah dah. O well it was great while it lasted. Back to making hand gestures to cloud masses. oh, j whats the deal with the blank page, and pdf. print out? I think the smuggest pic is his pop. Doing my A1 B2, T20 thing and i think im on the right track, but i was never good at the Soul Train scramble board. PLEASE HELP even if its holding my hand to cross the street.
the creature looks like micmagellan and kush and janesmith!!!!!!!!!!!
dont group me in with those foil heads… Im just a spook by the door. I have nothing in common with my classmates. Get out of my head noj…
RP goodhumor :)~
You got something against foil heads?
Oh MicMagellan, we thought you were one of us. Is there anyone we can trust anymore *single tear*
jon shut up!you look like the creature you werido!
thank god.. i wouldnt even mind if we didnt see the creature at all in the movie!
There are 2 new posts on the hook, line and minker sight says he’s getting his fish dec 10th
Hallejuah!!!!!! internet!!! finally!! okay so I checked RP again and it (unlike the .dat for STIES it isnt stalling) i know it sounds like a HUGE coincedence but it may be done by Dec 10th if not earlier which is really odd (also did anyone forget that we were supposed to get a trailer on thnxgving yet we never did I dont think its any coincedence…
That is not an alien, just some sort of menacing creature, and I’m sick and tired of society immediately labeling aliens as aggressive and wanting to harm us.
For me, this is why they don’t make their presence known once and for all, and they are waiting for the collective tipping point whereby all or most humans here feel that there is probably other life out there and would not be in shock when they arrive or uncloak themselves and their ships.
What this alien, if there is one, ends up looking like, will ultimately make or break the movie for me, at least its agenda and how they portray it. With the Army being involved, its just like I said, shoot first and ask questions later.
I’m still thinking the monster will be a little more normal than what most people a thinking.
I’m thinking human looking people with telekinetic abilities, found by the government and taken from their families, just remember the questionaire from rocket popateers, this could have been the screening proccess.
Just a thought anyway…
I think we may have just lost an opportunity to find a clue…now that HLM is back up
…was their a hidden image?
http://www.hooklineandminker.com is back up….

That’s funny – I didn’t even notice the blog was down! Thanks for the emails! Back up now, looks like it was just some issue with my web hoster.

i just recently watch close encounters, again, and if this movie is a tribute to old speilberg stuff, i hope they dont put a new twist with newer style aliens.in the trailer where something is busting out of the cart, i imagine the taller alien from close encounters. even though it looks fragile, having that kind of strength would give you chills. MORE GREYS!!
My mind cooks up more horrifying things than anyone can create for a story.
Monsters that tear humans to pieces while alive, Creatures that stalk you in the night and grab you when no one is looking, Goul’s that prey on children, things that look like humans maybe you have befriended them even and one day they turn into the real monster and destroy you.
Oh wait i just realized those are not monsters.. that’s human beings I’m talking about.
Too deep? sorry ~~~Jane
I was actually going to respond with what you said right at the end.
I like when movies try to create something worse than us so that it makes us look good…
has anyone heard the mp3 audio file on STIES!
all i could make out half way thru is:
“…blue can, lion on it…”
sounds like a conversation at a store(7-11 or something)
i might be late on this, but i havent seen a post on here about that.
It was posted back in September: http://www.super8news.com/2010/09/10/new-audio-file-and-print-out/
haha wow i’m an idiot. and i thought i actually found something. lol

Most of us got that email questionaire a few months ago..
guess im behind in the times then but did you pay attetion to some of the questions?
Question 16 : You sometimes can tell what your classmates are thinking?
Question 7: You believe that aliens live on other planets?
those questions in conjunction with other speculations from this website got me thinking.
i remember awhile ago their was someone on the forums that said that they shot the breeze with a PA for the movie and that they let “slip” that the aliens in this movie are humans……..
and the whole psychic alien thing just seems like it is a tab bit more truthful
Oh wow NOW im REALLY bummed but why it woulds it be THIS late I can understand a couple of days maybe a week but a couple of months? that WAY to long a set back that thing couldve been important too not that it REALLY matters…

Wow, haven’t been on here since the whole facebook Josh Minker fiasco which was a brain child of mine… see that there is a flame war between someone who can’t bring himself to check the Timeline and someone who cannot pluralize the word “suck”
And the ONE thing that I learned from bullshitting people into thinking that I was the “Real Cocotones” was that assholes… do not like other assholes. Now, personally… I think Admin does and has done a superb job of organizing a social congregation of Super 8 fans alike. And hey guys, while I have your attention, if you ever get bored of this because it is sooo slllooowwww… just check out the neat story of Call of Duty: Zombies. It features all the lovable characters of Richtofen, Dempsey, Taeko, and good old fasioned Nokolai
So back on track, what did you all think of the new printout from the 10th?

TROGL is a possible hidden print out file in the near future

peep this…
http://io9.com/5712029/is-the-louisiana-forest-monster-super-8-viral-marketing
Very interesting theory, however, I highly doubt that they would put this in the news, alerting many people in lousiana, for viral marketing in a movie.
Common now, It takes place in ohio, not Louisiana.
Cool pic thou can really scare the crap out of you . What’s the new printout , told you something would happen on the 10 .
The print documents window behind the Terminal window was updated with a new picture.
Im glad someone posted that pic of the hunters camera alien thing lol i was waiting for someone to show it since its part of the mystery 🙂
