Breaking: Bad Robot has acquired six new projects from a number of up and coming filmmakers. This comes amidst speculation over where Jj Abrams will set his company to a new overall deal when the pact with Paramount expires. He’s meeting all the majors, and while there’s talk of Warner Bros, Universal, Netflix and others vying, many in town believe his landing place will be Disney, where Abrams has been working often, and where he is directing his second Star Wars film after relaunching the franchise there.
