J.J. Abrams Wishes He Were Directing Star Wars: Episode VIII
In a Washington Post article, longtime friend of J.J. Abrams, Greg Grunberg describes J.J.'s reaction after having read the script for Star Wars: Episode VIII.
He read it and said something he never, ever says,” Grunberg, who plays pilot Snap Wexley in the new film, tells The Post’s Comic Riffs. “He said: ‘It’s so good, I wish I were making it.’
“He may have said something one time on ‘Lost,’ with Damon [Lindelof, the co-creator],” continues Grunberg, whose credits on Abrams series include “Lost” and “Felicity,” “but I never hear him express regret like that.”
