10 Movie Details That Aren’t As Important As You Think

10. Kelvin - J.J. Abrams' Back Catalogue

We'll start with a relatively harmless one; a running motif through the films of J. J. Abrams.

Fans of the Lost creator's movies will have noticed the name "Kelvin" crop up across his filmography. It's in the first Star Trek, the third Mission: Impossible, and his 2011 science fiction flick, Super 8.

But what could it all mean? Is it a sign that all of Abrams' films are connected? Is it a reference to unit of measurement, used to determine absolute zero? Well, no. It's much simpler and nicer than that.

We actually have to go back to one of his films to find the answer. Super 8 is named after the Super 8 camera, which was the amateur filmmakers camera of choice in the 1970s and '80s.

Abrams himself was the owner of a Super 8 and credits the camera with beginning his obsessions with directing. That camera was given to him by his grandfather, Harry Kelvin, and Abrams has included his name across his projects as an homage to him.

So no, not an ultra-complicated secret universe. Just a grandson paying a sweet tribute to his hero.
