J.J. Abrams May Direct NBC’s Secret-Agent Pilot UNDERCOVERS!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
In addition to co-writing and producing NBC’s new secret-agent pilot “Undercovers,” J.J. Abrams may now direct it as well.
Abrams, who directed the big-screen Paramount blockbusters “Mission: Impossible III” (2006) and “Star Trek” (2009), hasn’t directed a TV pilot since 2004’s crazy-great “Lost” premiere.
His other directorial efforts include episodes of Abrams' earlier secret-agent series “Alias” (including its amazing pilot), “The Office” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
Fourth-place NBC needs a hit!

J.J. is an amazing writer/director... Nuff said
-
He's the "it guy" it seems now. Good for him.
-
I predict this goes the way of U.C. : Undercover.
-
Wacky, I say.
-
just do one thing well. still waiting.
-
From the link AICN.com posted above:NBC’s “Undercovers,” about a husband and wife working together as spies, has
been described as a mix between “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” and “The Bourne Identity.” WBTV had no comment
-
Jeebus Cristo, Tim Kring is fucking terrible...
-
Anyone know?
-
You know, the show that made him a hit. It's good, but it's kind of a mess now.

by ahdvd
Wonder if he would pick one over the other?
-
what's he going to do if NBC put this in a competing timeslot against Fringe? Whick would he choose?
-
I'm really afraid I might groan myself to death.
I'm a big fan of Lost and the first couple years of Alias, so I'll TRY, but I'm not promising anything. -
... do you mean Mission Impossible for people with cognitive disabilities?
-
My people are in touch with JJ's people.
JJ, love ya, babe. -
Lost is great right now, better than the abysmal season 2/3
-
Bring back Sydney Bristow as a character starring the totally milf-ish Jennifer Garner.

He went with the loop, swoop and pull! JJ's a genius!
-
Says it "may" have tasted like booger with a touch of Bob Orci and a pinch of Chris Pine's massive eyebrows! In Abrams' defense, he really couldn't tell the booger apart from the rest of his face.
-
tired of FBI shows.
-
and I let him, thats how good he is.
