J.J. Abrams may not be returning as the director of Star Trek Beyond, but that should not suggest that his presence will not be felt as a producer. What do his past producing efforts suggest about his contribution to the upcoming movie?

 

In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and John recap their series looking at all of the films which Abrams has produced for other filmmakers. We discuss his work on The PallbearerThe SuburbansJoy RideMorning GloryMission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.
