Before you all panic at the lesser-known directorial name of Roberto Orci, let me put those worries to rest. Roberto Orci is currently in talks to direct STAR TREK 3 but you’ve definitely seen his work and know his name, as he wrote J.J. Abrams-directed STAR TREK and STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, so the good man knows where it’s at.
Orci was also behind some of Alias, plus the likes of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, THE ISLAND, TRANSFORMERS, the magnificent Fringe and has been rumoured for the upcoming VENOM movie but, saying that, this would be his directorial debut. You’ll get an idea of his style but if you loved J.J. Abrams first two movies, so we’re pretty sure he’ll follow a similar style.
J.J. won’t be around to direct this third Trek outing because he’s been distracted by STAR WARS: EPISODE VII and his hands a little full at the moment. However, there’s always a chance that he would be around to help Orci along and although he may not be first choice for everyone, we believe this is in further discussion and it would help that he knows the new franchise inside out. It’s obvious that this would be a clever connection to keep it all together and it’s not exactly like they’ll just throw anybody at it regardless.
We’ll bring you all the latest on STAR TREK 3 as we hear it and there’s obviously a lot to come as we don’t even know what year this is out yet. Early days.
