VOTD - JJ Abrams and the Art of Mystery

By Kevin Coll • June 5, 2008

You know Hollywood always seems to go into trends and its filmmakers always expand on whats been done before and harness its appeal making it their own. For example, Speilberg and Lucas didn’t do anything revolutionary with the idea of Indiana Jones, he was completely based on the old 1930 B film adventure flicks. JJ Abrams ideas if spies, islands and trek are not revolutionary in the sense of the idea but it is how you carry the idea and with JJ he has taken Hitchcock’s mystery element and used it to carry his films. That is revolutionary and why he currently the most sought out name in TV and film development.

Enjoy JJ Abrams and the Mystery Box as the VOTD.
