This week issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine features their "Best of the Decade" issue. They named their 15 Favorite Entertainers of the Decade, among them Star Trek director J.J. Abrams.
"I had never been a fan of the Star Trek TV Series." Abrams told EW "I wasn't sure I wanted to direct a movie, but I agreed to produce one because I felt if it was done in a certain way, I would want to see it. Once we had a script, I suddenly saw that Star Trek had all the things I loved about movies. It had great characters. It was romantic. Funny. Full of action and spectacle. Sweet and full of heart. And I realized : Why am I looking for other projects that have those qualities when I already have that right in front of me ? It was a question of falling in love with the Star Trek world and then realizing I'd be jealous of whoever directed it if I didn't."
