The creative forces of J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke are combining to form one mega-show: Revolution. And while we're not quite sure on the physics of it yet, it seems likely that the resulting explosion will consume the entire universe.
For those of you who don't know who J.J. Abrams is, he's only created some of television's most defining shows: Alias, LOST, Felicity, and Fringe all give Abrams a creator credit. Abrams (pictured right) also has directed several major motion pictures including 2009's Star Trek reboot and this summer's Super 8.
As for Eric Kripke (pictured below left), he created the little show called Supernatural which has managed to cling on to a solid fanbase even in its seventh season, which is currently airing on the CW. Kripke's also working on another show for the CW, titled Deadman, an adaptation of the DC comic book of the same name.
So what is this colossus of a television show? It's called Revolution. It's a weighty title, and sounds every bit the "epic adventure thriller" that Deadline claims that it will be. But besides the title and that three-word description, nobody really knows anything about the show.
Kripke wrote the pilot script for the show, while Abrams' company Bad Robot is producing. Abrams, Kripke, and Bryan Burk will serve as executive producers. (For those of you unfamiliar with Burk, he's billed as executive producer on almost all of Abrams' shows, from LOST to Fringe to Alcatraz).
Abrams' new show, Alcatraz, will be a midseason premiere in 2012. There's no word yet on when Revolution will premiere.
Haha I love the sarcasm in this. he must be a fan of J.J. Abrams as much as me.
