On the trektoday.com message board, someone wrote he used to be. Back this up? - Darkhawk (25 April 2006 @ 21:58 EST)
too many damn plot holes in the finale
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)
Why is this in the trivia section? It seems to me that if its relevant, it should be in the bio proper.--

Removed external link to www.parasitemovie.com. Any evidence linking this site to J.J. Abrams upcoming "Cloverfield" project is circumstantial at best.
Eurotransient 23:06, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
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

Why buy the right to the film (for 19 dollars)if he is not gonna do it, jj must have known when he signed up for this in 2007 that he was going to busy for a while so why buy the rights if he had no intention of doing it? I hope with all my heart he sells the rigths instead of deniying us the film we want to see with all our hearts, forget star trek, it was good but it doesn't compare to what DT could be. Please please if you don't make it let somebody else make it, soon please us fsns are aching for it —Preceding

It says that he wrote the opening theme for Lost - but Lost has no opening theme. Any idea what was meant here? Luminifer ( talk) 15:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Um, this page doesn't list a single thing he's acted in. He's an actor? -- Erroneuz1 ( talk) 20:41, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
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

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)
I've noticed in this article that whenever a film that Abrams made is discussed, there is an unnecessary comma before it. An example: "...Abrams also collaborated with some person to produce the film, Awesome Film Adventure."
The comma is wholly unnecessary, and actually obstructs the flow of the sentence. I'd be happy to go over the article later, but I thought I'd raise the issue now. Benkaplan42 ( talk) 16:42, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
"he has also donated $2,000 to the Republican Robert Vasquez.[21]" I went to the link that is cited for this, and I see no mention of Vasquez at all as part of his donations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.191.86 ( talk) 01:29, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

I don't want to participate in an edit war, but several editors have been writing that Abrams WILL be directing the next Star Wars film. However, while several news outlets (The Wrap was the first), have REPORTED this news, neither Abrams, Bad Robot, Lucasfilm, or Disney have confirmed it. Primogen ( talk) 00:26, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Read through the career section of the article. It sounds like something that has been pieced together by 100 different writers with various intents and tones. It is pretty terrible. I think it is time to do a rewrite, incorporating the important elements and smoothing out some of the detritus (SEE MTV movie award appearance). 03:33, 15 May 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bottre73 ( talk • contribs)
Article mentions two "SFX Award"s. May not be noteworthy, because there is no SFX Award article, nor does the SFX (magazine) article (they give out the awards) even mention the SFX Awards. It even appears to be an on-line poll, see the 2013 version here. Do you agree the SFX Awards can be removed? -- 82.170.113.123 ( talk) 13:07, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Abrams's filmography lists a miniseries based on a Rod Serling screenplay, but it's unsourced. Do we have any way to verify this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.191.181 ( talk) 13:45, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
I've moved this article to J. J.

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)
it looks like the filmography section was accidently put in twice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.176.93.18 ( talk) 13:51, 14 May 2009 (UTC) you forgot to include his NBC 2013 release, Revolution — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.255.159.6 ( talk) 21:43, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

He's executive producing a Hulu series based on Stephen King's work called "Castle Rock". Can someone add that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.247.252.237 ( talk) 10:51, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
This section seems overdone and perhaps completely unnecessary, particularly the chart itself. In reality, only two of the 12 actors mentioned have appeared in more than two of Abrams' projects. I think this point could be made in a brief mention, rather than a whole section with a chart. -- Johnsemlak ( talk) 12:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
I was surprised by Mr. Gormley's absence from the collaborators "list". I believe Gormley has been an AD for Abrams on a large number of projects. I'm going to put him in. No worries on a revert if felt to be necessary. THX1136 ( talk) 23:52, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
Going off of what user Bottre73 said in an earlier section, this section of Abrams' career recap needs to be reworked. It's overly excessive and focuses too much on the polarizing reactions towards Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to the point where it all feels cluttered and even a bit one-sided as if it was written with a specific agenda. The Wikipedia pages for these films already cover all those controversies.
Note how most other filmmakers' Wiki pages aren't even close to being this extensive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:9001:8206:2BBC:A43E:7F5E:6315:129A ( talk) 19:36, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
The new show from Abrams about UFOs, could that be added in? Chantern15 ( talk) 05:38, 31 August 2021 (UTC)Chantern15
In 2021 Lucas ex-wife Marcia Lucas, whom earned an Oscar for her editing of the 1977 original film and edited the other Original Trilogy films, was highly negative towards Abrams Abrams by stating he ¨did not have a clue about the franchise¨, and calling his storyline "terrible".
This feels shoehorned in to push a certain POV. The emphasis on Marcia Lucas' role in the original trilogy seems to be here to make her criticism sound like it's coming from a place of authority. Does this mean JJ Abrams' article should include the criticism of EVERYBODY who worked on a previous Star Wars film? I don't think so. If nobody objects, I will remove it, but I want to ask beforehand.
