Today
Bad Robot released another trailer and gave some new information regarding the
project. It’s not a movie, it’s not a tv series, it’s a…

a book.
Stranger
or S. is an collaboration between Abrams and author Doug Dorst (Alive in
Necropolis) and tells the story of “One book. Two readers. A world of mystery,
menace, and desire.”
S.
Synopsis Via Amazon:
One
book. Two readers. A world of mystery, menace, and desire.
A
young woman picks up a book left behind by a stranger. Inside it are his margin
notes, which reveal a reader entranced by the story and by its mysterious
author. She responds with notes of her own, leaving the book for the stranger,
and so begins an unlikely conversation that plunges them both into the unknown.
The
book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named
V.M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with
a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey.
The
writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world’s
greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart
from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him.
The
readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both
facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how
much they’re willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and
fears.
S.,
conceived by filmmaker J. J. Abrams and written by award-winning novelist Doug
Dorst, is the chronicle of two readers finding each other in the margins of a
book and enmeshing themselves in a deadly struggle between forces they don’t
understand, and it is also Abrams and Dorst’s love letter to the written word.
