Abrams as a producer would be the customer. You can't make someone buy your shit. Producers aren't in the habit of having customers come in and order movies. There's no store where you can find JJ Abrams behind the counter asking what kind of movie you'd like him to make for you.
C'mon, JJ is also a director and a screenwriter. I mean he directed Force Awakens after people from Disney ordered it from him with exact movie they wanted (they even had a script). And also not after some other guys refused the job like Guillermo del Toro.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
