Kyle Chandler & Elle Fanning Cast In “Super 8”

Actors Kyle Chandler and Elle Fanning have joined the cast of the upcoming film “Super 8.” Production of the mysterious project from J.J. Abrams, is already underway in West Virginia.

Writer-director-producer Abrams wrote the screenplay for the film and will produce the project with help from Bryan Burk and Steven Spielberg. In typical Abrams fashion, little information about the film or plot have been released so far; but Chandler and Fanning are the final pieces to a cast that already includes the likes of Ron Eldard, Gabriel Basso, and Joel Courtney, among others.

Chandler’s last feature film appearance came in “King Kong,” but he also starred for four seasons on the NBC series “Friday Night Lights.” Fanning stars in the new film “Somewhere” and has also appeared recently in “Babel.”
