J.J. Abrams channeling Spielberg for next project!

It's hard for me accept J.H. Abrams taking on a project that isn't Star Trek 2 right now, but at any other time I'd still be skeptical of this move. J.J. Abrams (Lost, Fringe) has recently announced that his next project is something of a tribute to Stephen Spielberg films of the 70's and 80's. It'll likely be low-budget, but focusing on "ordinary people who are thrown up against extraordinarily fantastic - and possibly other-worldly - events." It does sound like every Stephen Spielberg film of that era. It also sounds like most fantasy films these days.

I'll have to wait and see what path this film takes, but J.J. Abrams has always been great at creating and executing interesting, and original stories. Production should begin in the early fall. In other Abrams related news, the musical noir episode of Fringe airs tonight, and if the previews are any indication, it's definitely going to be something else.
