Nov 06 | J.J. Abrams is in talks to direct the opening episode of "Undercovers," his Warner Bros. secret agent pilot at NBC. Schedule permitting, Abrams, who also serves as executive producer and co-writer for the pilot, will make "Undercovers" the first TV pilot he has directed since 2004's "Lost" two-part opener, which is considered one of the best-directed pilots of all time and helped launch Abrams' career into helming such theatrical films as "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Star Trek." The NBC pilot has been described as a mix between "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "The Bourne Identity." The original report is at the Hollywood Reporter.

After four years, things finally wound down this past week on the set of ENTERPRISE, in final days of shooting. Michelle Dudas, from Canadian sci-fi channel Space, visited Paramount studio Stage 18 to get reactions from the cast about the series and UPN's decision to nix the NX warp corps.
"I have to sort of remind myself, the way we were thinking at the end of year three, that, you know, we were dancing on the edge of coming back or not," admits Connor Trinneer, dressed in a Starfleet uniform with epaulets and a name tag. "So, um, it's disappointing. You know, you don't want to feel like the cast that killed the franchise. But, um, you know, it's the way it is. You know, it's business. It's the way, you know... We, frankly, didn't get enough people watching our show, on first runs, to keep the Network, you know, off our backs" (video of Trinneer, courtesy of Space.)
"The bottom line -- this is very tricky, but the challenge for our show, and I'm not quite sure we lived up to it -- was to try and hold on to the core audience while building a brand new audience," asserts an unshaven John Billingsley, who recently spoke out in agreement of Paramount (story.)
"I think we served our purpose," believes Scott Bakula, speaking from the captain's chair. "I think this last season that we've gotten has allowed the writing team to really kind of put together some strings between us and Kirk and Spock, and some kind of connective tissue; and have some fun, and really kind of -- they call it, you know, a lot of 'Valentines' to the fans, you know, from the original series especially."
"I understand that there will be another STAR TREK, probably in years to come, under a different auspice and with a new face," acknowledges Dominic Keating. "But, uh, there was a line we had the other night, our last scene in Engineering, Connor and I; and the writers, Rick [Berman] and Brannon [Braga], had, you know, thinly disguised what I've just been talking about. And I say, 'The captain thinks there will be another Enterprise before long.' And I look around the Engineering set and go, 'It won't be the same.' And it won't. It won't be the same." Indeed. Expectations of something different is as likely as any explanation of motive from UPN and absentee viewers alike.
Additional comments, and from other cast members, will be posted here over the coming days and weeks.
