jabrams talks undercovers … [sort of]
So the most anticipated series of next fall (at least by me) is undoubtedly Undercovers, the pilot being produced and (likely) directed by JJ Abrams. He told TV Guide Magazine yesterday:
We’re just casting now and it’s obviously really hard. We’re hoping to do a show that is a lighter and sort of more wish-fulfillment show. That’s not to say it’s fantasy or anything, but it’s got an energy that feels, again, like something that I would want to watch – but that doesn’t necessarily guarantee that anyone else will. But it’s something that for me feels like a fun look at a genre, the spy genre, that I’ve worked in before but in a way that while familiar in some ways feels very, very different.
Oh, Jabrams and your cryptic words. How I’ve missed you so. I have no idea what a “more wish-fulfillment show” means. But I promise you I want to watch it. That’s really all there is to say or analyze about what he’s saying, other than PLEASE CAST IT NOW PLEASE.
