J.J. Abrams can be cagey about his new projects (unless he's discussing his longtime dream of writing a theatrical tribute to Edith Head), but this new one is intriguing: The Super 8 writer/director will work with author Doug Dorst on a novel. Dorst wrote the supernatural crime novel Alive in Necropolis, and he happens to be a three-time Jeopardy! champion. I guess Alex Trebek's blessing can help introduce you to some amazing people.
