LOST 
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS 
WESTWORLD 
Talk about an odd couple.Former rivals Kevin Reilly and Bob Greenblatt — having now joined forces at AT&T’s WarnerMedia — have begun pitching Hollywood as a united front on the company’s still unnamed, yet-to-be-launched subscription streaming service.It’s a strange alliance, given that the executives were often locked in heated standoffs, back when Greenblatt oversaw NBC Entertainment and Reilly ran herd at Fox Broadcasting, then TNT and TBS.But that’s what a mega-merger can do to onetime adversaries. And make no mistake:...
Bad Robot
J.J.
Abrams
Film Director
When director trouble arose on “Star Wars: Episode IX,” it’s easy to see why Disney called Abrams to take the helm. After “The Force Awakens,” he was already a leading creative force in the “Star Wars” universe, and he’s been among the most reliable hitmakers in the business, skilled at both rebooting beloved franchises such as “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” with a mix of crafty storytelling and true-fan affection and producing his own franchise in the three-film “Cloverfield” (with a fourth just announced) horrorfest. With production house Bad Robot, the empire extends to TV, where his output includes watercooler shows from “Lost” to “Westworld,” and now videogame development for mobile, PC and console with partners Warner Bros. Interactive and Tencent.
