It’s a good week to be J.J. AbramsThere might be a few different droids in J.J. Abrams' future. In addition to reportedly signing on to direct “Star Wars Episode VII,” the “Star Trek” director will also have a presence on the small screen with a new sci-fi pilot. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox has ordered Abrams’ untitled buddy cop show about police officers who are partnered with highly evolved androids. “Fringe” executive producer J.H. Wyman will write and executive produce the series, which is set in a near future, THR reports. Despite Abrams telling Entertainment Weekly in November that he turned down the opportunity to direct the next installment of “Star Wars,” the publication has confirmed The Wrap's report that he will, in fact, helm the anticipated film.

its a huge bitterness that's appears worse.
Awesome how hollywood has run out of ideas. I can't wait to see the move landscape 60 years from now when it's all star wars, star trek, spiderman, batman and superman re-re-reboots.
Come on. Are there really no knew ideas left?
I'll pass on more star wars.
Okay.... Enjoy "On Golden Pond 2"....
Awesome, here comes a great movie with a terrible ending.
Great for jj abrahms hes a great choice for the new star wars movie in 2015, although he is directing the star trek trilogy he might quit on star trek he's a bigger fan of star wars than star trek so good luck Abrams..

What do you mean we? How much is Cohagen paying you for this?
Come on Cohagen, give dese people air
And hear zee lamentations of zer vimmen!
Hell yeah if the new Star Wars is anything like Super 8 it should be a computer generated suck fest! I cant wait to see it in the theaters and be thoroughly disappointed! Let me guess: it will have eye popping computer graphics combine with absolutely terrible acting from no name chumps who cling to a sub par story!
The story is hardly the directors job, and Star Wars never had academy award winning acting to begin with. I think you're romanticizing the past a bit. If nothing else, Abrams could direct this every day on 1 hour of sleep and still turd out a better movie than Episode I.
these blogs are so funny today..i'm have a ball...thank you.
you can lense flair but only my best side...–
I wonder if abrams is gonna have all that lense flare hes so fond of..
He looks like a skinny young/middle-aged Kurt Russel.
I'm just hoping the new Star Wars movie doesn't completely s**t on the original trilogy.
Somehow, I think JJ is going to bring more to the next trilogy then George Lucas did to Episodes I,II, III and VI (yes, Jedi was terrible as well. Ewoks killing stormtroopers, seriously?)
Dan sadly I just don't share your optimism. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.
Speaking of s**t this photo of JJ would be much more interesting with a large brown trout protruding from his mouth.
baaaaaaaaaaaaawaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I was just going to say, I suppose you aren't Alvarez, too. Then, magically, there he is (notice posting in black, Triumph). Busy boy, jumping from your computer to your cell. Exhausting! Do you sometimes forget who you are posting as?
Are you going to be at the premiere to do your famous "interviews" with the fans like you did with the other Star Wars movie premieres?
@ Mind reader: You couldn't be more wrong about me. You see whether you believe it or not the absolute truth is this is the only username I use on here. Go ahead try to trace ip addresses. See if they match up. If you can you'll see that I tell no lies.
@Alvarez You're right a brown trout from the mouth would be an improvement. He could also have a couple of stink nuggets poking out of his nostrils. And just so you know and your not confused, @Mind reader is falsely accusing me of posting as others on here and accusing me of being you. I am NOT doing any such thing. My apologies for your name being drug into this lunacy.
@???? Unlikely since they won't let me fling my turds at the cast or any crew members.
true that.
I was surprised (in a good way) to see that Coleman would join the cast of The Walking Dead. I have recently been re-watching HBO’s The Wire, finishing up Season 3 of 5. Anyways, Coleman really gave some depth of character in his Dennis “Cutty” Wise. Anyone that has not seen the Wire, should. Even though soem of the technology they deal with in the Wire is sorta dated 8 years after it was filmed, I tell you the drama sure does remain relavent–It’d be relevent in Ancient Rome as much as modern America.
This sounds dum. A dum shoe.
