As he set off for a galaxy far, far away to make the latest "Star Wars" film, director J.J. Abrams looked beyond the sci-fi saga's past movies for inspiration. Abrams, who has already made sci-fi films such as "Star Trek" and "Star Trek Into Darkness", also cited American cult director Terrence Malick, known for "The Tree of Life" and "The Thin Red Line", as an important influence. He said in a recent interview, "Malick is not a director you would normally think you'd go to for a 'Star Wars' movie and yet I don't know of a more profound and emotional filmmaker than Malick." Abrams then added, "It sounds very pretentious to say 'oh I'm inspired by this person, that person', it's more about seeing things that you can aspire to and where appropriate apply lessons that you're learning from them."
