With Alcatraz breaking onto FOX in a little over a week, here are some more quotables from producer JJ. Abrams on the sci-fi series.

JJ. Abrams on his enthusiasm to make Alcatraz happen:

“As soon as I was pitched the idea, I was desperate to make it happen. How could there have never been a show called ‘Alcatraz’?”

On how Alcatraz differs from LOST:

“In terms of a specific story line, they couldn’t be more different. It’s not a show that’s about the science fiction of time travel.”

On how the science-fiction premise of Alcatraz can mesh with viewers:

“I think, frankly, the challenges of sci-fi are the same challenges in any genre. You want to make sure you’re doing something that is compelling and worth people’s time. Because no science-fiction premise means anything if you don’t love the characters in the center.”
