J.J. Abrams begint comedy bij Fox

J.J. Abrams is taking a comedic turn at Fox with a half-hour project written by Mike Markowitz.

Abrams, co-creator/executive producer of Fox's sophomore sci-fi drama "Fringe," is exec producing the untitled comedy, which has been given a presentation order.

Details on the premise are being kept under wraps beyond a bare-bones logline of "a comedic medical show."

Markowitz and Bryan Burk also exec produce the presentation from Warner Bros. TV and Abrams' studio-based Bad Robot Prods.

The medical drama field is crowded with stalwarts "Grey's Anatomy" and "House" as well as "Private Practice" and newcomers "Trauma," "Miami Trauma," "Mercy," "Three Rivers" and "Hawthorne." But there is room for medical comedies, with ABC's veteran "Scrubs" and Showtime's freshman dramedy "Nurse Jackie" the only players.

Markowitz, who has worked on such comedy series as "Becker" and "It's All Relative," is repped by CAA.

Bruce Springsteen heeft meegeholpen aan Lost

Many great partnerships are forged in unusual places: Would we have airplanes today if not for Orville and Wilbur Wright’s bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio? Would Microsoft exist if Bill Gates and Paul Allen hadn’t met in a prep-school computer club? And would we be watching “Lost,” and looking ahead to the summer reboot of “Star Trek,” if its creators hadn’t first encountered each other at a fateful Bruce Springsteen concert?

In this audio excerpt from a longer conversation with the brain trust behind “Star Trek” (which we’ll have finished wading through and written up by next month), Damon Lindelof, a creator and executive producer of “Lost” and a producer of “Star Trek,” recalls how he first encountered J.J. Abrams, his “Lost” co-creator and “Star Trek” director, with a little help from the Boss.

Artikel over J.J. Abram's Bad Robot productie

Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc, today announced an extension of its agreement with J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions to run through 2013. This continues the first-look relationship originally started with Abrams and long-time colleague, producer Bryan Burk, in July 2006.

"Today's announcement is meaningful to me in many ways," said Brad Grey, Chairman and CEO, Paramount Pictures Corporation. "Bad Robot was one of the first deals we made to help rebuild the studio. J.J. has since become part of the fabric of Paramount and we look forward to continuing our fruitful creative collaboration for many years to come."

"Bad Robot has had an incredibly fun and productive collaboration with Paramount," added Abrams. "We are all so grateful for their amazing support and creative team, and feel like we're just getting started. We are thrilled that we get to stay right where we are.

Bad Robot and Paramount first collaborated to release Cloverfield (2008), which stands as the film with the highest grossing January opening weekend ever (at $40M). The film ultimately went on to gross $170M worldwide. The duo's next upcoming release is the highly anticipated Star Trek (release date - May 8, 2009), which is directed and produced by Abrams; executive produced by Bad Robot EVP Bryan Burk and Jeffrey Chernov, and produced by Damon Lindelof; written and executive produced by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman; and starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, John Cho and Zoë Saldana. Bad Robot and Paramount also are slated to begin production of Morning Glory in June of this year, starring Harrison Ford and Rachel McAdams (to be released in 2010). Abrams also directed Mission: Impossible III for the Studio.

Michelle Rodriguez' theorieën over Lost

Een artikel en video waarin Rodriguez vertelt over haar theorieën over Lost.

Michelle Rodriguez has said she is totally stumped by TV series Lost.

The actress, who used to play Ana-Lucia in the hit series, said she has given up on speculating about the plot twists in the desert island show because she is always proved wrong.

"You know I am tired of coming up with theories, because every single time I come up with a damn theory you know, there goes [creator] JJ Abrams to pop that theory and turn it to s**t," she said.

Michelle - speaking at the premiere of her new film Fast And Furious - added: "So I don't know what to say now, I am scared that he might pop my theory again. So I am just gonna keep shut and wait for the answer. You know, patiently like the rest of the world."

As Lost hurtles towards its conclusions, Michelle may get her answers soon.
