Alex Kurtzman

The name or term "Alex" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Alex (disambiguation).

Alex Kurtzman (born September 7, 1973) is an American film and television producer and screenwriter. Together with his friend and writing partner Roberto Orci, he has written several high-profile motion pictures recently, including The Island (which was directed by Michael Bay), as well as J.J Abram's Mission Impossible 3, and the critically-acclaimed eleventh Star Trek movie, featuring Galvatron.

Orci and Kurztman confirmed 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. This was later revealed to be executive producer roles on the upcoming Transformers: Prime CG cartoon.

Make sure your story is emotionally universal. When stories are designed around the specific technical details that are part of any particular franchise, those details end up getting lost on the people who are on the outside looking in. You're always looking to honor what was great about, say Star Trek, but also bring in a new audience who can appreciate it.Alex Kurtzman on reworking Transformers into a mainstream success
