JJA has certainly become quite a big time director...

For JJA to work in the Star Trek entertainment universe and the Star Wars universe, is really something. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Star_Trek_and_Star_Wars#Abrams_era

JJA "Is the first director to have directed both a Star Trek film and a Star Wars film." https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0009190/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm



{During the first half of the show, sci-fi writer Marc Zicree joined George in the studio to discuss the new Star Trek film and the classic TV series The Twilight Zone. He was very pleased with new J.J. Abrams version of Star Trek which opens this weekend. Based on the audience he saw it with, Zicree was optimistic that the movie would appeal to both longtime Star Trek fans as well as newcomers to the series. On how he felt fans of the original Trek crew would feel about the new faces playing the iconic Trek characters, Zicree mused that "even the die hard, first generation of Trekkers recognize ... that it's time for new actors to step up and take on those roles."}
