TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Since Elle Fanning was 12 years old while filming her driving scene, it was illegal for her to actually drive, so they had a stunt person driving the car with a mini-steering wheel and monitor in the backseat. "What's weird is, that's legal." J.J. Abrams stated on the commentary.

Originally, when the boys were sitting and waiting for Alice to pick them up, they were supposed to just talk. However, J.J. Abrams heard the boys singing together between takes later on, and re-shot the scene featuring them singing "My Sharona."

Riley Griffiths (Charles Kaznyk) played an April Fool's prank on director J.J. Abrams during filming: "On the verge of crying, I told him I had lost my script, lost it at a mall in L.A., somebody took it, and it's online. He totally fell for it... I think I might have been more scared than J.J. I was trembling."

As teenagers, J.J. Abrams and his friend Matt Reeves (director of Cloverfield (2008) and Let Me In (2010)) were hired by Steven Spielberg to restore some of his Super 8 home movies.

Steven Spielberg (a producer of the production) was reportedly on set many times throughout the course of filming. Director J.J. Abrams and Spielberg have both gone on record stating that the filming of this production was some of the most fun they have ever had on set.

Popular Dialogues

"Joe Lamb: I know bad things happen. Bad things happen. But you can still live. You can still live."

"Alice Dainard: I Know I don't know you at all. Even though it sort of feels like I do. Do you not feel like that? Joe Lamb: No, no, I totally do. I'm just kind of in shock at this entire conversation."
