"J.J. Abrams has revealed that he is excited about his new project Alcatraz. In an interview with Collider, Abrams explained that he is pleased with the script for the Fox pilot. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want to give anything away because no-one wants to hear that, but I will say that it&amp;#039;s a beautifully written and surprisingly emotional script - although not surprising when you hear that [Lost and Deadwood scribe] Liz Sarnoff wrote it,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s amazing.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;The show is about an incredibly odd and mysterious turn and secret about the prison of Alcatraz, and a modern-day mystery that involves something very odd that happened there 50 years ago.&amp;quot; Abrams also revealed that he is thrilled with the stars who have signed up for the project, saying: &amp;quot;The cast is unbelievable. It&amp;#039;s Sam Neill, Sarah Jones, Jorge Garcia from Lost - who was the first person we cast and is just the greatest with an amazing role - and Johnny Coyne, who&amp;#039;s an amazing English actor. We have a spectacular cast. There are a number of other actors and it is wonderful. I&amp;#039;m really excited about the show.&amp;quot; Abrams is also working on a number of other projects including a crime drama called Pulp and a project starring Lost&amp;#039;s Michael Emerson and Terry O&amp;#039;Quinn.
