J.J. Abrams Reportedly Pitching TV Show Starring Lost's Terry O'Quinn And Michael Emerson
Briefly: I'm convinced that J.J. Abrams has a closet packed with Abrams clones, as that is the only possible explanation for the steady stream of news we've had lately about new projects from the guy. The latest is a report of an Abrams pitch for a new TV show that would reunite Lost's Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson, aka John Locke and Benjamin Linus, as 'former black-ops agents.'Vulture has the report, saying that Abrams and collaborators Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec were pitching a 'comedic drama' tentatively called Odd Jobs, which would bring together Emerson and O'Quinn as the agents. This is just the latest news of a possible show featuring the two actors, which began in February when the pair said they were working on a possible post-Lost project. (One possibility mentioned then was a show that would feature the two as 'suburban hit men,' which could have become this setup.) At this point it is just a possibility, but it's a ramping up of several months' worth of rumor, so stay tuned...
