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."

Star Trek The Next Generation actor/director Jonathan Frakes will direct a segment of Masters of Science Fiction TV Series entitled "The Discarded", based on a short story by Harlan Ellison (who wrote TOS classic episode"The City on the Edge of Forever"), scripted by Ellison and Josh Olson (Academy Award-nominee A History of Violence).
Ellison posted this on his discussion board on Monday:
"Josh's and my "The Discarded" will shoot in Vancouver July 23rd to August 6th, approximately. I'll likely go up there for the shoot. Oh, and by the way, it'll be aptly directed by Jonathan Frakes. Produced by Keith Addis."
The story deals with a ship of mutants that have been exiled from Earth due to their ugliness. An Earth representative seeks their cooperation when they are the only hope of curing a disease on the home planet.
The story was published in 1959 and anthologized in Ellison's Paingod and Other Delusions. He indicated that he's very proud of the adaptation.
Thanks to "JanS" at the TrekWeb StarTrekBBS for the news.
