J.J. Abrams is one of the most successful director-writer-producers
working in Hollywood, and now that he is being offered the chance
to visit a galaxy far, far away to direct the long-awaited Star
Wars sequel, his reputation is set to shoot ever higher. Much like
his hero Steven Spielberg, such has been Abrams' success that he
has himself become something of a brand, especially since his
popular revitalisation of Star Trek as producer of the 2009
blockbuster, as well as its 2013 sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness.
However, in the early nineties Abrams began his career writing
relatively average movie scripts, such as Regarding Henry and
Forever Young, before moving into the world of TV with the
college-based drama Felicity. It wasn't until the spy series Alias
that his career truly launched. Since the early 2000s, Abrams has
dominated genre-TV with the success of cult shows such as Lost and
Fringe. At the same time, he found time for the big screen,
directing Mission: Impossible III and his personal homage to
Spielberg, Super 8 as well as producing the innovative monster
movie Cloverfield. Then, not content with distinction in these two
fields, 2013 saw the release of his first novel S. with Doug Dorst.
While Abrams sceptics note that not everything he has been involved
with has worked - after a number of his TV shows have been
cancelled and some of his films have received mixed reviews -
there's no question that Abrams is one of Hollywood's most powerful
people. Set to dominate the world of SF for years to come, this is
the first biography of the cult legend.
