[edit] Style

Is it appropriate to include something about J.J. Abrams' particular style, as least as it's developed so far?--Uncat 21:14, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Go for it. —Mulad (talk) 03:15, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] J.J. v J. J.

I've moved this article to J. J. Abrams in line with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people), wherein it states that "For abbreviated names (if these are the most used) every abbreviation is followed by a point, and every point is followed by a single space". However, please comment if you disagree with this move - I'll monitor any discussing and go with the consensus. CLW 08:46, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Scientologist?

On the trektoday.com message board, someone wrote he used to be. Back this up? - Darkhawk (25 April 2006 @ 21:58 EST)

I think anyone in any way connected to Tom Cruise is being reported as a Scientologist these days. Mad Jack O'Lantern 07:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alias movie?

too many damn plot holes in the finale

In an Interview with SciFi he stated "I think at the moment, right now Alias is sort of going to rest in just the right way, so I think that it's the right way for it to go out." - Source Merlin5793 09:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Undersized

This article seems to be undersized, it lacks information and mostly shows technical data. I was expecting to see a mile long page but instead it was quite short, almost a stub. There have been entire hour long shows chronicling his life, I think we can muster a better article. TostitosAreGross 01:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

By all means, go for it. I think you'll find some editors will come out of the woodwork to give you a hand, if you get the ball rolling. --BCSWowbagger 03:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
WikiProject Screenwriters has all of the Lost creators under it's watchful eye. This article really should be shored up with more information. Where are all those fanatical Losties? :)-BiancaOfHell 15:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Palisades Charter High School.

Why is this in the trivia section? It seems to me that if its relevant, it should be in the bio proper.--LeyteWolfer 06:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC) He is Gay

[edit] Nightbeast

When he was 15? Really? Source please.--Aresef 04:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Parasite Movie"

Removed external link to www.parasitemovie.com. Any evidence linking this site to J.J. Abrams upcoming "Cloverfield" project is circumstantial at best.

[edit] Is this really called Parasite Movie?

Was this really confirmed to be called "Parasite Movie?" I don't think it is right to give that name yet until it has been confirmed. Wachapon2 00:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC) Italic text

[edit] Home Video Cameras?

Where is it confirmed that the Cloverfield movie will be made by home video cameras? --Naruto134 00:00, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Dark Tower

Should there be a section talking about him getting the rights to adapt Stephen King's The Dark Tower series? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shavron (talk • contribs) 15:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

If it can be verified then yes. --Illustrious One (talk) 16:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fictional universe?

The drink Slusho has featured in Lost, Alias and Cloverfield so is it possible that all of JJ Abrams personal projects (or at least these three) take place in the same fictional universe? --Illustrious One (talk) 16:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)


For what? So he is a director, but for what. Go more in detail in the summary, meaning,i.e. mostly known for LOST and ALIAS. No one has the time to read your roman —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.237.150.54 (talk) 09:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

He means do you think Cloverfield, Alias and Lost take place in the same fictional universe? Don't be so rude. With regards to the question I think it's possible but to say so on Wikipedia without verifiable sources would not be allowed on the grounds of OR. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 19:30, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
