After being tipped as the front runner last week, it has now been confirmed that Roberto Orci will make his directorial debut on Star Trek 3, the third instalment of Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions’ rebooted Trek universe.
Orci of course has plenty of experience with the Star Trek universe, having co-written and produced both Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness, as well as steering IDW’s comic book tie-ins. Orci is currently writing the script for Star Trek 3 alongside J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, while J.J. Abrams will remain involved in a producing capacity.
How do you feel about Orci taking on the reins for Star Trek 3? Let us know your thoughts…
