<a href="/profile/logic" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Logic</a> has been cast in a J.J. Abrams-produced which aims to emulate the success of Clerks, a cult-favorite directed by noted Canadian auteur Kevin Smith. According to <a href="https://variety.com/2018/film/news/bad-robot-slate-1203028596/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Variety</a>, the unnamed project will look to modernize the general premise of Kevin Smith&#8217;s 1994 film. Abrams has enlisted Bobby Hall aka Logic in more than one capacity. Before dedicating himself to his first major acting role, Logic will be asked to co-write the script with Black-ish writer Lisa McQuillan.
J.J. Abrams <a href="https://variety.com/2018/film/news/bad-robot-slate-1203028596/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">showed</a> up bearing several new items in his bulletin. Besides finding his &#8216;guy&#8217; in Bobby Tarantino for the Clerks knockoff, Abrams gave the press a quarterly roundup of his short-term plans, those that fall under the management of his Bad Robot production house. Now operating as a buyer at this interval in his career, Abrams has picked up films by The Good Place executive producer Megan Amram and comedian Blair Butler, who is dabbling working on a film project called The Steps, steeped in the tropes of the &#8216;possession&#8217; horror niche.
Thanks to the financial reward of his efforts with the recent Star Wars&#8217; films, Abrams has a modest cash crop to throw at niche film projects. Even the decision to go with a first-timer like Logic is potentially risky, but otherwise shows a willingness to bring fresh voices to the fore.
