Production is set to begin this fall on the Paramount Pictures feature film 'Super 8'. Primetime Emmy winning J.J. Abrams will write/direct the film, and 3 time Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg will produce. Primetime Emmy winning casting directors April Webster and Alyssa Weisberg have been conducting the Los Angeles auditions for the lead roles.
'Super 8' was in pre-production under the smokescreen title 'Darlings' and is still being refered to as 'Wickham' for some open casting calls. This is due to the high profile nature of the film. Paramount Pictures has chosen Weirton, West Virginia and surrounding areas for all of the on-location filming for the Super 8. The remainder will be shot in Los Angeles. Paramount is participating in the West Virginia Film Industry Act, a tax credit program designed to recruit business into the state.
An open casting call was already held on August 21, 2010 in Los Angeles at the Paramount Studios lot. There will be at least two additional open casting calls in Weirton, WV.
Details on the auditions and casting calls can be found on the following blog post:

The Super 8 crews will be shooting for two to three months in the Weirton, WV area.
