J.J. Abrams’ The Pinkerton
J.J. Abrams is known for a number of different movies in all sorts of different roles including producing, writing and directing. He is responsible for the creation of shows such as Lost and Fringe, producing the Cloverfield series, and directing movies such as Star Trek, Super 8, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Now, he is set to produce a new film through his Bad Robot Production company. This movie is known as ‘The Pinkerton.’
There have been discussions between J.J. Abrams and Co. and Warner Bros. regarding work on films and new television shows. In particular they have been discussing media for the Justice League Dark Comic series. One movie that ended up on the itinerary was the previously mentioned ‘The Pinkerton.’ Not much is known about the movie thus far other than the fact it is a Supernatural Western Thriller film.
‘The Pinkerton’ has been described by those making it as a supernatural revenge thriller. The script for the film was written by Dan Casey who did the rewrite for the Abrams-produced 10 Cloverfield Lane. Obviously, based off of name alone, the script is based off of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency of the same name. The agency, founded by Allan Pinkerton in 1850, did jobs for various corporations in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Of the jobs they did, some of those jobs were respectable ventures while others were not so respectable.
