Jeffrey Jacob Abrams, for everyone JJ, was born in New York on June 27, 1966. Of course, hers was a family that had close ties with cinema and television, with her father as a television producer and mother as an executive producer; a family, however, who preferred to push him to college rather than go along with his intention of attending a film school: “” It is more important that you learn about what to make films than how to make them, “said dad George.

So, even if alone 16 years he had composed the music for a film entitled Nightbeast, JJ enrolled in college; and it was there, that with the friend Jill Mazursky, wrote the subject of what became his first film as a producer, the comedy of 1990 Filofax – An agenda that is worth a treasure.

The TV will never completely abandon it (they will arrive in the future, among others, Fringe, Undercovers, and the recent Alcatraz, as well as the upcoming ones 11.22.63 based on the novel by Stephen King is Westworld), but the big screen will be his favorite toy.

Thus, in the 2006, finally debuts behind the camera with Mission: Impossible III, who (obviously) also sees him as a screenwriter and producer. The film, needless to say, is a success, and immediately there Paramount puts him under contract for the reboot of one of the most loved science fiction series of all time: that of Star Trek. After producing the catastrophic Cloverfield to Matt Reeves, JJ Abrams so he climbs on the bridge of theEnterprise twice (with Star Trek of the 2009 is Into Darkness – Star Trek of the 2013), and indulges in a luxurious interlude with the Super 8 with whom, also as a screenwriter, he pays homage to the Spielbergian cinema of Amblin of the early 1980s.

It is with this business card, which is also added the publication of a novel entitled “S. The ship of Theseus “, which JJ Abrams gets, after a first, tactical refusal, the direction, the script and the production of the film-event of these first years of the Third Millennium, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the cinematic rebirth of the series born from George Lucas which revolutionized the history of cinema and created unprecedented and never equaled fandom phenomena.
