Variety says Roberto Orci named director of "Star Trek 3"
BREAKING: Variety is reporting that Roberto Orci, co-screenwriter and producer of the previous two Star Trek films, has been tapped to direct the third film in the rebooted franchise. When approached by Variety to confirm, Paramount, Skydance Productions, and Orci's representatives had no comment. Orci, who will be making his directorial debut, is collaborating with newcomers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay on the screenplay. He had been lobbying to land the directing assignment, and needed to convince Paramount and it's producing partner, Skydance Productions, that he could handle the demands of directing a major Hollywood blockbuster. No details about the film are known, but the entire cast is expected to return. J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burke will produce along with Skydance's David Ellison.

Roberto Orci in talks to direct "Star Trek 3"
Deadline Hollywood's Mike Fleming is reporting that Roberto Orci, co-screenwriter and producer of the previous two Trek films, has emerged as the frontrunner to direct the third feature and is currently in talks with Paramount and their producing partner, Skydance Productions. According to Fleming, Orci has mounted "an aggressive lobbying campaign" to land the job, and should he get it, …this would amount to another first-time director taking on a massive project, which has been hit (Snow White And The Huntsman) and miss (Transcendence, John Carter, 47 Ronin). Orci could be an exception on the positive side of the ledger because he has been involved for so long as writer and producer in shaping such big scale films as the Star Trek films as well as theTransformers and Amazing Spider-Man movies. I'm told that Paramount's partner, Skydance Productions, has been in Orci's corner, but Paramount needed convincing. Now it all could happen at warp speed. Source: Deadline Hollywood The pace certainly appears to be picking up. We'll bring you more information as we get it.

Their company, K/O Paper Products, will not dissolve, however. The two are will continue to collaborate on various television projects, both current and upcoming. Kurtzman is already set to direct "Venom", a spinoff of the Spider-Man franchise. Orci's directorial ambitions will be of great interest to Trek fans. from Variety: Orci is currently laser focused on the upcoming "Star Trek 3." He's already been tapped to pen the picture along with Patrick McKay and John D. Payne, and he's lobbying heavily to direct the production. The film's co-producers, J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot and David Ellison's Skydance, appear to be in favor of Orci helming the film, but people familiar with the situation say that Paramount is being cautious. If Orci lands the assignment, "Star Trek 3" would mark his directorial debut. –Source: Variety TrekMovie will bring you more information as we get it.

UNCONFIRMED RUMOR: Orci talked to CBS about Trek TV Show
Putting Star Trek back on TV has been increasingly talked about as of late. Out of nowhere a tweet from reporter Joe Michalczuk who was covering the Ender's Game press junket for the UK's Sky News claims Roberto Orci told him he had a meeting with CBS. This is to be considered a totally unconfirmed rumor and should be taken with a large grain of salt. We also do not know who else (aside from Bob) "they" refers to in his tweet: Bob Orci just told me they've had a meeting with CBS to revive @StarTrek on TV…This made me v excited — Joe Michalczuk (@joemichalczuk) October 8, 2013 Orci has commented here at TrekMovie in the past about his own personal interest in maybe, perhaps, if the stars align, thinking about doing an Abramsverse Star Trek TV show. But it was mostly just personal interest, the issues with CBS and Paramount being separate companies with differing agendas seemed to be a bit of a mess. So we'll shall see if this gets confirmed in any way. Even if it's true, don't count on it being publicly acknowledged, preliminary meetings are just that, preliminary, often times it's just feeling out the parties involved, in many cases doesn't go anywhere, or doesn't happen quickly, so things are kept under wraps until a more concrete agreement is made.
