I am – Hercules!! J.J. Abrams’ “Lost” co-creator Damon Lindelof will co-write the sequel to 2009’s “Star Trek” alongside Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the “Fringe” creators who wrote the installment due in May. Abrams will produce the 12th Trek movie, which will presumably continue to follow the young Kirk and Spock of a Romulan-altered timeline, but is not yet committed to direct. Many blame Orci and Kurtzman for the lameness of “Transformers,” but I’m here to tell you they contributed some unbelievably great episodes of “Alias’” first season. As for Lindelof, I love what he's doing with his “Ultimate Hulk Vs. Wolverine” funnybook. Find all of ...

Total Film News —
Despite the fact that the first film hasn’t even, er, opened yet, Paramount is already making plans for another Star Trek adventure.

Still, it’s a sign of commitment to JJ Abrams and his team, three of which – Star Trek (trailer here) writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci and producer Damon Lindelof – are attached to write the second movie.

Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman: People To Aspire To Be

Ok, this is where I’m going to be a geeky screenwriter for a second, because the rise of Mr. Roberto Orci and Mr. Alex Kurtzman is basically the dream of a certain phylum of writer that dreams of working on big, important projects.
Kurtzman and Orci started working as a writing duo right out of high school and managed to both get on board Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess, where they worked their chops until they got picked up on Alias, where they collided with JJ Abrams.
Flash forward to now, and these two get thier pick of fun properties: The Island, The Legend of Zorro, Mission: Impossible III, Transformers, ...
