If you guessed that the Super 8 teaser came before the Super 8 monster… you guessed right.
Wired has a fun little interview with conceptual artist Neville Page, whose film career has recently spanned as diverse job duties as creature design on Avatar and Piranha 3D to designing the suits for Tron: Legacy.
He discusses a wide range of things in the short video. The beginning has him discussing how JJ Abrams showed him the teaser trailer for Super 8 and then asked him to design a creature for the film (good to know they really had Super 8 heavily planned out before jumping into production).
The best bit comes right at the end though, where Page reveals that James Cameron was recently offered an acting gig that I wish Cameron had taken. It could’ve made a great movie even greater.
