class=”alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-20380″ title=”JJ Abrams” src=”https://www.heyuguys.com/images/2010/05/JJ-Abrams-220×150.jpg” alt=”” width=”220″ height=”150″ />Entertainment Weekly are carrying a story on a new television collaboration between awesomely talented film/tv producer and director J.J. Abrams (Lost, M:I-3, Star Trek, Super 8, Cloverfield) and Jonathan Nolan, co-writer of Christopher Nolan projects such as Memento, The Prestige and The Dark Knight.

The project is a crime-thriller TV series, which Jonathan Nolan has created. One US network is said to be very interested and given the almost peerless pedigree of Abrams and Nolan, it is not difficult to imagine a bidding war swiftly developing over this one.

Abrams (as we reported here) is already trying to put together a TV series set in San Francisco’s Alcatraz Prison, so this is another potential project to add to his already heaving slate of directing and producing projects (Super 8, Star Trek 2, M:I-4). We admittedly don’t know very much yet about this latest project, but we are officially very excited.

Dave has been writing for HeyUGuys since mid-2010 and has found them to be the most intelligent, friendly, erudite and insightful bunch of film fans you could hope to work with. He's gone from ham-fisted attempts at writing the news to interviewing Lawrence Bender, Renny Harlin and Julian Glover, to writing articles about things he loves that people have actually read. He has fairly broad tastes as far as films are concerned, though given the choice he's likely to go for Con Air over Battleship Potemkin most days. He's pretty sure that 2001: A Space Odyssey is the most overrated mess in cinematic history.
