Help Support J.J. Abrams
Thu, November 5, 2009 
Ladies and gentlemen, J.J. Abrams needs your help and support. His sophomore effort as a feature-film director Star Trek was one of the highest-grossing and most-popular movies of 2009 and he’s a producer for television shows you love like Lost, Fringe and Alias. This is someone who makes studios (in this case, Paramount) a lot of money. But the man has to eat.
That’s the only way to explain all of these projects he’s attached to in various capacities. I did a post a few weeks back detailing his then-current line-up. But I’ll show them to you again in case you missed it.
- The Star Trek sequel he will produce and most likely direct based on recent comments he made.
- Mission: Impossible IV
- Morning Glory which will be released next July
- The Untold Story of the World’s Biggest Diamond Heist
- A “mystery project” with screenwriters Simon Kinberg & Aline Brosh McKenna
- A “spy drama” for NBC
- A “medical comedy” for Fox
Now comes two more projects for the poor soul. Pajiba says he’s working on a “mystery project” unrelated to the one-mentioned earlier. This one has a title – 500 Rads set up with screenwriter Jeff Pinkner. It will filmed in Europe with a tight budget (read: $25 million) and will be in the vein of Abrams’ own Cloverfield and 28 Days Later. J.J. does zombies, perhaps?
Meanwhile, the part-time Verizon spokesman reveals to the Wall-Street Journal he’s currently in discussions to produce a film-adaptation of the Micronauts toy-line. One can only assume it will kinda like Transformers minus the retardation and Megan-Fox camera-fucking and plenty of lens-flares.
I beg to you readers out there. Donate to the J.J. Abrams Foundation. It’s for a good cause. For every penny earned, Abrams will attach himself to another movie or TV show. Please, he has a wife and small children to support. Do the man a favor.
