J.J. ABRAMS TALKS BIG BUSINESS

For a guy who’s made millions thanks to big companies like Disney and Fox, TV wunderkind J.J. Abrams sure has it in for corporate America.

In nearly every one of the beloved producer’s shows, from “Lost” to “Alias” to the upcoming “Fringe” — and especially in the back story to his big budget monster flick “Cloverfield,” big business always represents part of the problem.

Make no mistake, typically they are in real life too.

But Abrams seems to use the old cliché of big business as a front for the bad guys all too frequently.

He admitted as much while plugging Fox’s “Fringe” (which debuts next week) in a conference call with reporters yesterday.

“There are so many entities that are powerful and far reaching,” he said after fumbling around for a few minutes after a reporter asked him where the animosity stems from.

Big companies, “are just a very real thing that we are all surrounded by as much as we are surrounded by geography… it’s hard to believe that there isn’t some kind of intrigue.

“I always wonder what the real agenda is,” he says.

Despite the clear prevalence of a corporate conspiracy in the pilot of “Fringe,” Abrams downplays it’s role in the series over the long run.

“It’s much more about the characters than a cliché look at corporate culture,” he says, adding: “That said, I don’t trust corporate culture at all.”
