Whose Face Is That At The End Of The Official J.J. Abrams 'Super 8' Trailer?

Yes, we said we weren’t going to promote the hell out of this thing last week but, we lied. Or really, we just love a good mystery but whether or not that will remain (or turn into the dreadful trainwreck that “Lost” has become) for an entire year until this hits theaters remains to be seen.

The buzzed about, previously camera phoned trailer to J.J. Abrams’ secretive Steven Spielberg homage “Super 8” has finally hit the web in a proper version that is pretty bad ass visually and sonically in the real HD format. And there are more surprises in store. A savvy reader (thanks Cody!) has noticed yet another easter egg of sorts in the trailer. At the end of the spot, just after the hatch explodes there’s a…..face. From the brief glimpse we get, it looks to be a young kid (which would fit the Spielberg-ian wheelhouse) though at this point its hard to tell is the exploding universe stuff is just a cool effect or symbolic of something more. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

As we’ve previously reported, the viral campaign is in full swing and while we don’t think we’ll be able to keep with all or any of it; none of the Playlist team has even bothered with the whole Mind Crime thing for “Inception.” However, if the teasers continue to be this first rate, it will definitely grab our attention.
