Abrams Produces Supernatural

So is JJ Abrams just really good at keeping secrets, or does he have ways of dealing with people who know too much? It’s just downright unnatural how quiet he’s able to keep all the projects he has his fingers in...

Add another to the list; Daily Variety reports that Maria Full of Grace helmer Josh Marston has just signed a deal to write and direct a supernatural thriller (ugh) that Abrams’ Bad Robot will produce. God forbid we know more than that about it right now; we don’t want to just vanish one day, do we?

Abrams’ deal with Paramount was signed just over a year ago, giving them five years of first refusal rights, and already the man has seven (!) projects set up in various stages of production. That, plus he’s still working on “Lost” and developing the next Star Trek movie, which he will direct. I see him snapping soon.

We’ll have more for you, of course, but only when Abrams says it’s okay. Don’t want any “accidents” to happen, you dig.
