Since things have already started filming in West Virginia, it makes sense that they would have their cast already set, but yesterday was the first we heard of who was in it. It was announced that Kyle Chandler and Elle Fanning were in the cast, and now we get to find out who the rest of the players are.
With a mix of relative knowns and some unknowns, Cinemablend gives us the roster:
J.J. Abrams’ Super 8, and adds a few more names to the mix as well. Ron Eldard, Noah Emmerich, Gabriel Basso, Joel Courtney, Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee and Zach Mills will be joining the production, which got started in West Virginia just yesterday.
I don’t know who at least half of these people are, and the other half I am just guessing.
Abrams said he was aiming for unknowns for the film, and it looks like he is pretty close to that goal.
But the real star will be the monster/alien. Which of course we won’t see until the film comes out.
