Roberto Orci, a prominent writer-producer known for his work in major film franchises, passed away at the age of 51 due to kidney disease. Orci's career began with the television series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and he later co-created iconic series such as Alias and Fringe. His collaborations with Alex Kurtzman and J.J. Abrams resulted in several successful projects including Star Trek and Transformers. Tributes from his peers highlighted his remarkable talent and kindness, emphasizing the significant loss his passing represents to the film industry.
My first boss in Hollywood said the script for STAR TREK was the best he'd ever read - and he wasn't kidding. Roberto Orci was a generational screenwriting talent and his death at only 51 is a tragic loss, because I'm sure there were more masterworks to come. RIP to one of the greats.
Desperately sorry to hear of Bob's passing. A beautiful, sweet man and outrageously talented. I send my heartfelt condolences to all the many people who loved him.
