J.J. Abrams and the Mystery Box J.J. Abrams, the creator of Alias, Lost, and the upcoming Cloverfield, gave a fascinating presentation (via Boing Boing) at TED where he explains his love of the unseen mystery. Abrams says his interest and magic and mystery started with his granfather who encouraged him to make stuff. Abrams also displayed a Mystery Box which remains unopened to this day. He bought the box from Lou Tannen's Magic store in New York decades ago. To Abrams the box represents infinite possibility, hope and potential. He also compares scripts and stories to mystery boxes. Here's his presentation at TED.
