Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci

Comingsoon.net has published an interview they recently held with screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the writers of this year’s Star Trek reboot and Transformers: Rise of the Fallen. Kurtzman and Orci are also producers for the television show Fringe, as well as the Sandra Bullock film The Proposal.

The interview goes over what the writers’ thoughts were while writing the script for Star Trek, including what things they took into account like fan preferences, taboos, and what they consider good or bad directions for films that are the first in a series. The two writers seem to have good heads on their shoulders, as they make a lot of sense when they talk about how they go about constructing the stories for Star Trek and Transformers. Feelings about the individual films aside, their logic appears very agreeable.

The writers also touch upon their involvement with the Jon Favreau project Cowboys and Aliens and Masi Oka’s gaming-themed movie The Defenders.

It’s safe to say that the duo of Kurtzman and Orci has become one of the more sought after writing teams in Hollywood, and after reading this interview it becomes a lot clearer why.
