J.J. Abrams to Direct New Warner Bros. Film

Jenna Ortega and Glen Powell are set to star in a top-secret project directed by J.J. Abrams for Warner Bros. Details about the film's plot remain undisclosed, but Abrams has written the script and will produce it through his Bad Robot production company. Ortega, known for her role in 'Wednesday' and the upcoming 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,' initially turned down the role of Wednesday Addams but was later persuaded by director Tim Burton. 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,' premiering at the Venice International Film Festival, will see the return of Michael Keaton and Catherine O'Hara, along with new cast members like Danny DeVito and Justin Theroux. Glen Powell, who recently starred in 'Twisters,' has been a rising star in Hollywood with notable roles in 'Top Gun: Maverick' and 'Scream Queens.' Both actors are considered part of Hollywood's 'New A-List.'
