Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the biggest writing team in modern tentpole movies, are breaking up.
The duo, who first began writing together on the TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys before working with J.J. Abrams on Alias, have worked on the Star Trek and the Transformers franchises (the latter has grossed $2.7 billion so far, with a fourth installment on the way), as well as Mission: Impossible III. They also worked on the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Amazing Spider-Man 3.
THR has confirmed the pair are parting way on the movie side, though sources say the TV side of their production company, K/O Paper Products, will remain intact for the time being. The company has a deal with CBS TV Studios.
Insiders say the parting is amicable and has been brewing for some time as the writers have begun focusing on separate franchises. Orci is spending more time with Trek and is even in talks to direct the third installment. (No negotiations are taking place just yet but the writer already has Abrams' blessing.)
Kurtzman, who directed the drama People Like Us, is focusing more and more on the Spider-Man franchise and is attached to direct the spinoff Venom.
It is unclear how the film projects will be divided.

It wasn't all there fault on revenge of fallen it was mostly due writers strike not enough time to do things they wanted to really do in film because of it as bay and Hollywood replied in interviews of writer strike going on during revenges of fallen we almost had no fallen sequel in that year because of the strike some movies where pushed back or delayed because of strike and movies that where being made in strike chaos they had to make sacrifices to go through with budget what they hired to work with and strike made things more difficult to do things if it wasn't for strike of writers in Hollywood revenge of fallen would have been little better movie

T-Macksimus wrote:A lot of folks are putting a whole lot of undo blame for things sucking on the team that doesn't deserve it. The writers bust their asses and strain their brains to crank something out within a given time frame and under specific guidelines most times only to have the producer, the director and the actors utterly demolish their work. This doesn't just go for Kurtzman and Orci, this goes for all show and movie writers. You guys think it's easy? Give it a shot yourselves and I'll sit back and watch as some director chews you up and spits you out for a snack and sh**s all over your effort and your self-esteem.

I'd like to see if they really can direct.

It's almost impossible to write a good scenerio when you are working for a moron, and as long as MB is in charge, even Shakespeare itself wouldn't help.

Burn wrote:Anyhoo ... Orci pretty much confirmed to make his directorial debut with Star Trek 3. Promises less lens flares but more plot holes.
But changes he did in scripts of RotF and DotM does.Burn wrote:Just because you don't like his movies doesn't make him a moron.
It's arguable. Both "Bad Boys" and "Armageddon" are good mostly because of the great cast. If there is anything good in he's movies, it's action scenes and ability to pick up right actor(At least sometimes)... But I quess producers and FX guys have part in good parts too. So I quess it's possible that "Bad Boys" or "Armageddon" would be at least as good without MB.Burn wrote:If he was, he wouldn't be at the helm of so many financially successful movies
Not all he's movies were trash, "Postal" actually was great fun, not only as a Video Game adaptation. Plus at least he is honest". It's pretty clear that he's movies are made for money. And i prefer that kind of attitude over Bay's faked artistic soul.Burn wrote:Go watch a Uwe Boll movie.
I don't belive that Transformers could be much worse than RotF or DotM. There isn't that much place on the bottom.Rodimus Prime wrote:Now you got me wondering what a TF movie directed by Uwe Boll would be like. And now I want to kill myself. Thanks. D**k. Image
