1. J.J. Abrams Meets With Jesse Plemons (CONFIRMED)
What began as a rumor turned out to be true! A few days before the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour, news surfaced of a secret meeting with "Breaking Bad" actor Jesse Plemons and director J.J. Abrams. During the press conference he was asked about the Plemons meeting to which Abrams responded:
"He was one of the people we spoke with. It's not often that I'm reading about actors I'm meeting. I read articles about meeting with actors and then when I see them it's like, 'Oh, I read I'm going to be meeting with you!' It's usually agents talking with people about things." (READ MORE HERE)

5. "Star Wars Episode 7" Will Be Shot On Film (CONFIRMED)
"The problem with IMAX is it's a very loud camera," Abrams said during the TCA press conference. "It's a very unreliable camera. There's only so much film that can be in the camera. You can't really do intimate scenes with it. It's slow. They break down often. Having said that, they're working on digital versions of these, and so there may be a version one day that we would shoot on. But we're going to be shooting this next movie [Star Wars] on film."
