Zack Stentz, who worked with Orci on Fringe, wrote a long tribute, stating: “I got to know Bob a bit while working on Fringe, an earlier version of the movie that became Star Trek Beyond and a couple of other things and always found him to be kind and generous to a fault.
Orci frequently collaborated with his decades-long friend Alex Kurtzman, working together on the reboots of Star Trek, Transformers, the Now You See Me franchise, Ender’s Game, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Mission: Impossible 3.
Roberto Orci, the writer and producer famed for his work on the blockbuster reboots of Star Trek and Transformers in the late 2000s, has died at the age of 51.
“I've loved Star Trek since I was 5-years-old so getting to work on a story with Bob and have it reported as a done deal in the trades...only to tank the pitch to JJ Abrams...was a crushing career disappointment.
“I always felt a connection with Bob because we both loved Star Trek and cut our teeth on writing teams writing for Kevin Sorbo syndicated action hours.”.
