J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Adds Six New Projects

J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot production company has acquired six new films, according to Variety.

The projects come from aspiring filmmakers, like a feature on hip-hop artist Bobby Hall, known by his stage name Logic. His song "1-800-273-8255" was nominated for two Grammys. Hall will star and co-write with "Blackish" writer Lisa McQuillan.

Other filmmakers include "Hell Fest" writer Blair Butler, "The Good Place" executive producer Megan Amram, "The Good Time Girls" director Courtney Hoffman, Ben Shiffrin, writing team Dylan Meyer and Peter Glanz, and first-time director Stan Grube.

Bad Robot's other upcoming projects include:

"The Steps," which is described as a twist on the possession genre. It's written by Butler and based on an original idea from Grube.

An untitled female-driven horror allegory from Amram, who will also pen the script.

"The Seven Sisters of Scott County," an original film set in the moonshine-running time period. Hoffman is writing and directing.

An untitled contained time travel movie written by Shiffrin.

Sci-fi romance "Only the Lonely," directed by Grube and co-written by Meyer and Glanz.
