RIP Robert Orci ‘Star Trek’, ‘Transformers’ & ‘Hawaii Five-0’ Writer-Producer

[Autbot_Benz]

Orci was co-writer/producer on the 2009 Star Trek movie reboot and its two sequels as well as on the 2007 Transformers movie and the 2009 followup Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Orci’s feature credits also include writing work on Mission Impossible III and The Legend Of Zorro and producing on the Now You See Me franchise, The Proposal, Eagle Eye, The Mummy as well as The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which he also co-wrote.

In television, Orci was co-creator/executive producer on CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 reboot and on Fox’s Fringe and Sleepy Hollow. He also worked on ABC’s Alias and CBS’ Scorpion. Orci had been on his own since K/O Paper Products, his company with Kurtzman, was dissolved in 2016. His most recent venture was Rubber Room Media, a writer-driven production company.

“He was a visionary storyteller with a boundless heart and a beautiful soul,” Orci’s brother, J.R. Orci said. “But beyond his creative talents, he was a compassionate friend who would put his life on hold to help a stranger and find room in his home for the most overlooked pup at the shelter.”

Orci, who was public about his past struggles with alcoholism and his recovery, is survived by his father Roberto Orci Sr., mother Macuqui Robau-Garcia, stepmom Jeanine Orci, siblings J.R Orci, Taylor Orci, and Courtney Ford, and his dog Bogey.

At the time of his death, Orci and his estranged wife, actress Adele Heather Taylor, had dueling lawsuits pending, each accusing the other of assault and abuse.
