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.

Entertainment Weekly posted a new interview with Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart, in which he talks about his Tony Award nomination for Macbeth and speaks briefly about the upcoming Star Trek prequel movie. Here are excerpts from the interview.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Congratulations on your Tony nomination. When did you hear the news?
PATRICK STEWART: Thank you very much! I was watching television.
I was surprised to realize this is actually your first time being nominated for a Tony. Are you surprised it's taken this long?
There have been a couple of disappointments in the past, yeah. But I'm not surprised. At awards time, you just have got to be as philosophical as possible. I've won, I've lost, I've been ignored, you know - I've run the whole gamut of experiences of awards! But this morning is a very, very special morning. It's always been a dream of mine to have a Tony nomination. It is the premier theater award, and for English actors, of course, it has a very special meaning.
What else do you have coming up? Any other projects in the works?
I do. I have an absolutely spine-tingling, awesome theater project that will happen next February when Hamlet is finished. But I cannot tell you what it is, because there's been no announcement yet. But I tell you, every time I think about it I get goosebumps.
Are you looking forward to seeing the new Star Trek film that's coming out next year?
Oh, I am! Yes, looking forward to it very much. And I know nothing about it.
Have the producers of that film been in touch with you at all?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It has nothing to do with The Next Generation at all.
The full interview is here.
