Roberto Gaston Orci (born July 20, 1973) is a Mexican-American film and television writer and producer.

Biography

Roberto Gaston Orci nait dans la ville de Mexico, d'un père mexicain et d'une mère cubaine, dont la famille a migré vers le Mexique à la suite de la prise de pouvoir de Fidel Castro. Son frère J. R. Orci est également scénariste.

À l'âge de 17 ans, Roberto Orci rencontre son futur collaborateur régulier, Alex Kurtzman, alors qu'il est étudiant à la Crossroads School à Santa Monica en Californie. Il fréquente ensuite l'université du Texas à Austin.

Roberto Orci fait ses débuts de scénariste dès 1997 avec la série télévisée Hercule. Dans les années 2000, il écrit et produit plus d'une trentaine d'épisodes de la série Alias créée par J. J. Abrams. Il coécrit ensuite avec Alex Kurtzman le scénario de The Island (2005), qui est son premier film de cinéma. Toujours avec Kurtzman, il écrit La Légende de Zorro (2005), la suite du Masque de Zorro (1998). Après la série Alias, il retrouve J. J. Abrams pour lequel il coécrit avec Kurtzman Mission impossible 3, qui sort en 2006. Orci, Abrams et Kurtzman lancent ensuite la série Fringe, diffusée de 2008 à 2013. Entretemps, il est l'un des scénaristes qui relancent la franchise Star Trek au cinéma avec un film sorti en 2009. Il participera à l'écriture de la suite, Star Trek Into Darkness, sortie en 2013.

Entretemps, il continue son travail à la télévision avec le développement de séries télévisées, comme Hawaii 5-0, le remake de la série des années 1970 Hawaï police d'État.

Avec Alex Kurtzman, Phillip Iscove et Len Wiseman, il crée la série Sleepy Hollow, nouvelle adaptation de La Légende de Sleepy Hollow, diffusée dès 2013 sur Fox. Il développe ensuite la série Matador, diffusée en 2014 sur la chaine El Rey créée par Robert Rodriguez.

Scénariste de Star Trek et Star Trek Into Darkness, il est annoncé en mai 2014 comme réalisateur-scénariste du troisième volet Star Trek : Sans limites. Finalement, il est remplacé à la réalisation par Justin Lin, confirmé en décembre, quelque temps avant que Roberto Orci déclare qu'il n'écrira pas non plus le film : « Je vais produire le film. Rien de plus ou de moins ».

2263. Sur une planète, le capitaine James T. Kirk agit à titre d'ambassadeur pour conclure un traité de paix entre deux peuples ennemis. En guise de cadeau, il apporte un artéfact qui faisait partie d'une puissante arme inconnue. Cependant, le chef de la planète s'emporte, croyant qu'on veut se moquer de lui et soumettre son peuple. Kirk tente de l'apaiser, mais le chef préfère attaquer Kirk, imité par ses congénères. Grâce à Scotty, Kirk retourne sur le vaisseau USS Enterprise. Après cette mission manquée, Kirk se questionne sur son rôle dans Starfleet. Après trois ans de mission et alors que son anniversaire approche — il aura un an de plus que son père quand il est mort —, il n'éprouve plus qu'ennui et malaise, même si son équipage est l'un des meilleurs selon ses dires.
