J.J. Abrams’ latest movie, Super 8 isn’t released in the UK until 5th August which is a right pain in the bum since it’s released in the US and Australia 2 months earlier! Abrams is currently on the press trail for the movie in those two other countries and we’ve come across this interview that he did with Tim Dunlop for a radio station in Australia which I believe is one of the first.

In the interview, Abrams discusses how he managed to get all round directing legend and in this case, Producer, Steven Spielberg on board, how he cast the kids in the movie and how he keeps his movies so secretive right up until release. I’ve embedded the interview below for your listening pleasure and I’m sure you’ll love it.

Super 8 stars Elle Fanning, Amanda Michalka, Kyle Chandler, Ron Eldard, Noah Emmerich, Gabriel Basso and is released in the UK 5th August. If you haven’t seen the trailer for it yet, check it out here or see all our Super 8 coverage here.
