For J.J. Abrams, the relationship between human beings and machines is something that fascinates him.
Abrams’ newest show, Revolution, shows what happens when mankind is involuntarily disconnected from modern technology. “When the power goes out, the structure of society would shift enormously,” he said. “The people who are in control are more likely to fall by the wayside and not know how to handle anything. The have-nots will know how to live in that world and will become the most powerful.”
Two shows, one produced by J.J. Abrams, and another in which John Cho has a role as a regular, have received full season orders from NBC.
The shows are Revolution and Go On.
Revolution, the new “doomer” drama by J.J. Abrams, premieres tonight.
In Revolution, people in a futuristic world struggle to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where there has been no electricity for fifteen years.
Revolution, a thriller by J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke, has been ordered by NBC for the 2012 Fall Season.
In Revolution, a family “struggles to reunite in a post-apocalyptic American landscape: world of empty cities, local militias and heroic freedom fighters, where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights — has mysteriously blacked out … forever.”
Written by Kripke and produced by Abrams, Revolution will be directed by Jon Favreau, and filmed in Atlanta.
Just days after the news that The CW picked up Shelter, a pilot produced by J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk, comes the news that another Abrams pilot has been picked up by another network.
This time, the network is NBC and the pilot is Revolution, a dramatic thriller, to be written by Abrams, Bryan Burk and Eric Kripke (Supernatural).
In Revolution, a “group of characters” is “struggling to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist.”
The ever-busy J.J. Abrams will be an executive producer on a new drama series created by Supernatural‘s Eric Kripke.
NBC has committed to a pilot for the drama, titled Revolution, which is described as an “epic adventure thriller.”
