Surprise! (?) After all that speculation and hand-wringing over Super 8 ‘s prospects, the underexposed tribute to summer glories past emerged as something of a summer glory itself. Meanwhile the cluster of blockbuster veterans around it held on in the top five, and at least one wipeout was had by a young lady named Judy Moody. Your Weekend Receipts are here.

Another Saturday , another Cameron Crowe-provided picture from the set of We Bought a Zoo . This weekend, the Twitter happy director offers a look at Super 8 star Elle Fanning laughing with Patrick Fugit. Perhaps Dakota’s little (and more talented?) sister just then realized that she’s gotten to work with Crowe, J.J. Abrams, Sofia Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola, and David Fincher thus far in her career, and reacted with sheer joy? Or maybe Fugit told a dirty joke. Either way. Click through for a look.

At the tender age of 15, filmmaker J.J. Abrams received an opportunity Dawson Leery would have killed for: the chance to work for his idol, Steven Spielberg . Nearly 30 years later, Abrams looked back on the unusual teen gig that got him started in film and, in a way, led to his teaming up with Spielberg again for this week’s Super 8 .

With J.J. Abrams not quite yet confirmed (but expected) to return to helm Star Trek 2 , which Paramount has already set for a June 29, 2012 release, Deadline does the math: That leaves 13 months to go from what Paramount currently has in hand — a 70 page outline, according to Roberto Orci — to fully delivered film. But is that truly enough time to finish scripting, prep, shoot, and edit a massive, effects-heavy summer action tent pole?

Somewhere over the rainbow…some sh*t’s about to go down. As Sam Raimi puts the gears in motion for his edgy, adult prequel to the Wizard of Oz, the be-suited director is drawing a line in the sand for Disney execs. Raimi is insisting that two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank play an elder witch in Oz, the Great and the Powerful , while the studio is demanding that Michelle Williams fill the role. Witch fight!

June 8th creeps ever closer and with it comes Super 8 , one of the most anticipated movie of the summer (at least one of my most anticipated). To help whet our 80s-born appetites, Paramount has released two new stills showing the kids of Super 8 both pre and post alien encounters. Can you caption the look of wonderment on their faces, or, failing that, pick out which one will be doing a quarter up in the clink in 10 years ?

The response to this morning’s Super 8 trailer debut has been sweeping and overwhelmingly positive. One look, and you can see why: Standard-issue marketing voodoo aside, J.J. Abrams’s latest portends a rare harmony of sweetness and ambition, homage and envelope-pusher, sincerity and mastery. Believe the hype or not, at least one thing seems clear: At least one Best Picture nomination next year is spoken for, right?

Apparently director David Ellis’ victory with the Snakes on a Plane title just wasn’t enough. Now the director has hit the internet with a campaign to title his upcoming 3-D shark thriller… Untitled 3-D Shark Thriller . As the director tells it , “The title says everything you need to know: ‘We’ve got sharks.’ ‘It’s in 3D.’ and, ‘It’s a thriller.'” Fair enough! In honor of what will surely become a hot Hollywood trend, let’s see how some other upcoming movies fare with literal, reductive titles.

While the appeal of televised sports has generally eluded me, I do understand how events like the Super Bowl provide much-needed emotional release for football fans. Whether you’re cheering your team to victory, yelling at that stupid ref, or keening over a botched play, it’s a way to release tension and bottled-up feelings in a socially acceptable way. I get the same purgative experience with a good tearjerker, so if you’re not into football, watch those commercials later on Hulu and curl up with a good three-hanky DVD instead.
