EXCLUSIVE: Paramount has acquired an untitled project that will team screenwriter Billy Ray with JJ Abrams and his Bad Robot banner. I’m told Ray and Abrams hatched the pitch together, and that it’s a mystery adventure.
Ray is scripting the revisionist Peter Pan pic Pan for Channing Tatum and Joe Roth, adapted A Captain’s Duty with Paul Greengrass directing Tom Hanks, and he continues to write the screen adaptation of the series 24 at Fox. He also scripted a remake of The Secret In Their Eyes, which Ray will direct. He’s repped by CAA and Management 360.

JJ Abrams is doing a mystery project!? Glad to see him stretching his legs.
s
Cloverfield sequel or prequel hopefully.
Is Billy Ray still working on the 24 movie? I thought his draft was rejected and he was done with it.
The remake of Secret In Their Eyes KILLS me.
A great, great, GREAT movie that wins best foreign Oscar. Directed by an Argentinian who…yes, directs TV in Hollywood.
Hey, let’s remake it with a different director and set it America. (Ignoring the fact that a key component is the political backdrop of a very painful and complex time in Argentina.)
Kill my soul.
Come on, people, we can do better!
Billy Ray? He must be really good in a room.
Well played. You deserve two lensflares for that.
‘Mystery Project’?
The only ‘mystery’ is why JJ keeps making these horrible movies.
Super 8? Predictable, dull slop.
Star Trek? Contrived fanboy’s wet dream.
One day, JJ, you’re going to wake up as Michael Bay.
You think that star trek is contrived,any one ive showed this movie to from scifi freaks to people who wont even watch a scifi movie ever loved this movie.its beyond exiting and everything i could hope to find in a movie.forget the visual magnificence it is made with great fervor and passion .man are you wrong
