If you told me that the man behind the TV show ‘Felicity’ and other middle-of-the-road Hollywood fair like ‘Regarding Henry’ would eventually be the same man responsible for overseeing both the ‘Star Trek’ and now ‘Star Wars’ franchises 20-years-later I would have laughed in your face. Buzzfeed looks at J.J. Abrams’ dark rise to power, [...]

Here’s the “official teaser” trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Trek reboot, Star Trek into Darkness. It’s full of action and excitement, but not much else in the way of story. As a first taste, this is probably the best way to do it because it certainly creates a lot of Oohs and Ahhs. Directed by JJ Abrams, [...]
J.J. Abrams went on Conan last night, and brought the first footage of the second Star Trek movie, which is called Star Trek into Darkness. That’s a terrible name for the new movie. Just horrendous. Anyway, don’t get too excited because the clip is more of a joke than anything else, but, I guess we [...]
NBC has a new show coming out this fall from producer J.J. Abrams and director John Favreau about what happens 15 years after the entire world loses electricity. The premise for the show is cool, but doesn’t it just feel like this show is going to get cancelled after about five episodes? Maybe it’s that [...]
J.J. Abrams’ new show is coming as a midseason replacement for Fox. “Alcatraz” has Sam Neil and Hurly from Lost in it, along with some mysterious prison drama. Despite the disappointment of recent husband and wife spy show on NBC, Abrams has earned the benefit of the doubt for the time being.
“Lost” co-creator, and some would argue television god, J.J. Abrams has yet another show coming to tv because Fox has picked up his “Alcatraz.” Here’s a pretty thorough guide to the show from I09, and basically, “‘Alcatraz’ will focus on a group of guards, convicts and workers who disappear from the prison without a trace in the [...]
As played by Michael Emerson, the character of Benjamin Linus on Lost, may be one of the show’s last legacies. Long after the convoluted plot threads have been dissected to death, long after we tire of debating Jack vs. Sawyer or Juliet vs. Kate, years removed from the realization that the show made absolutely no [...]
We finally got the first decent look at material from the upcoming Steven Spielberg-produced, JJ Abrams-directed flick, Super 8. Earlier today, an LA Times article on the movie provided this synopsis: The Paramount Pictures release is set in Ohio in 1979 and introduces a troupe of six youngsters who are using a Super 8 camera to make [...]
The trailer for J.J. Abrams’s under-the-rader (think Cloverfield) Super 8 has leaked. Also, there’s an official site for the film. According to Movie Viral, here’s what we do know about the film: - Obviously, it’s titled Super 8, a reference to old film cameras that both Abrams and Steven Spielberg used to use as kids. - This is [...]
Based on the man’s track record with Felicity, Alias, Fringe, and um, Lost, it’s really not surprising that NBC has given the greenlight to Undercovers for a full season. Even if the premise seems less than thrilling, “a married couple who are re-activated as CIA agents after years of retirement,” neither were the premises for any [...]
