Inside Hollywood’s Turmoil: Is JJ Abrams’ Decline the Death Knell for Screenwriting’s Future?

Inside Hollywood’s Turmoil: Is JJ Abrams’ Decline the Death Knell for Screenwriting’s Future?

And it’s not like you or me where, when we get disillusioned, we can disappear for a while until we get our enthusiasm back. JJ was running a business with hundreds of employees.

But, look, I’m not going to excuse JJ completely. I mean, dude. Duster? What year is this? 1994? What kind of lame concept is that? Maybe a show like that works if you can update the look and feel of the genre. But it was produced and shot in such a cheesy way. It was set in the 1970s but it totally looked like 1975 through a 2025 lens. He has to wear that. Cause he knew that they were hemorrhaging money over there at Bad Robot. They needed a hit to stay alive. And they came up with Duster?? This dude used to be THE CONCEPT GUY. And Duster is probably the lowest-concept TV show I’ve come across all decade.
