Roberto Orci is an American film and television producer and screenwriter. Together with his friend and writing partner Alex Kurtzman, he has written several high-profile motion pictures recently, including The Island (which was directed by Michael Bay), as well as J.J Abrams' Mission Impossible 3 and the critically-acclaimed 2009 Star Trek movie.
Orci and Kurztman confirmed[citation needed] that they would not be writing the as-yet untitled third Transformers movie, but it was revealed during Hasbro's Fall Investor Day Event on November 5, 2009 that they would be involved in some capacity with The Hub. [1] This was later revealed to be executive producer roles on the upcoming Transformers CG cartoon.[2]
You've got to really look at it and see what's going to translate to the storytelling that's relevant now and what has to be sacrificed. Sometimes it's hard to know, so it's important to be disciplined about it. You can't rely on the history of the franchise to engender goodwill—you've got to win the goodwill as if the franchise has never been seen before.Roberto Orci on reworking Transformers into a mainstream success

His work on Bay's documentaries (or "propaganda" as the Decepticons call them) have made him a marked man. #1's Law and Disorder
Trivia
- Before the release of the movie, Roberto regularly posted on the Official Transformers Movie forum, answering the questions of fans as best he could. His writing partner Alex Kurtzman occasionally chimed in, though not to the extent of Orci's messages. However, since the release of the movie, Roberto returned to answer questions before the pair left to move onto the Star Trek franchise. Orci regularly answered fan questions at the official message board of movie producer Don Murphy and at TFW2005, eventually leaving TFW2005 in July 2009.
- "Orci" is pronounced "Or-See", not "Or-Key".
