See a sneak peek of Super 8 via Twitter

By Alexandra Heilbron on June 8, 2011 | 3 Comments


Paramount Pictures and Twitter have teamed up to offer sneak previews of the movie Super 8 from writer/director J.J. Abrams and producer Steven Spielberg for one day only — Thursday, June 9 — in advance of the nationwide release on Friday. To promote the sneak previews, the companies have designated the hashtag #Super8Secret, allowing Twitter users a direct link to buy tickets to the advanced previews. At select, participating theatres in Canada, Super 8 Sneak Preview moviegoers will be treated to a free drink (with a concession purchase) at each sneak preview. “Twitter is how we hear about new movies and share our tiny reviews before the credits finish rolling,” said Biz Stone, Twitter cofounder. “There are already millions of people talking about Super 8 on Twitter and Paramount gets that. Creating more excitement about the film with sneak previews and free popcorn is a smart way to make this film a global conversation even before it’s released.” Super 8 stars Kyle Chandler and Elle Fanning.

    I am checking to see where I can get our non for profit organization signed up to recieve sneak peak movie tickets for movies that are coming out. We have a total of 40 teens on our campus and this would be a great outing for them.
