Much has been said about the posters for J.J. Abrams' Super 8 and now we'll continue to say. The first poster was a total tease revealing [1] almost nothing. A later image was thought to possibly give away too much [2]. And, at one point, half the internet was fooled by a Drew Struzan-esque fan poster [3].

Unlike the aforementioned fan image, though, these posters were legitimately commissioned by Bad Robot for use in the marketing of the film. They simply weren't chosen by Abrams in the end. Even so, you can see them in their full glory and read the great story of how artists Skubal and Lapage got involved after the jump. Thanks to First Showing [4] for alerting us to this story, which they found on Skubal's blog: Living in Cine [5]. First thing's first.

However, with every film, there are designs and ideas that will never see the light of day, no matter how great they might have been. Thankfully, today two great posters that were designed for the film have made their way online by way of their artists, Daniel Skubal and his fiancé Veronica Lapage. The two were commissioned by Bad Robot to design a few posters, and while they weren't used, they're still fantastic. Here are their two unused posters they made for J.J. Abrams' Super 8 (click for larger versions): You can clearly see that Drew Struzan has inspired their work, and that helps to even further capture the...
