Roberto Gaston Orci (born July 20, 1973) is a Mexican-American film and television screenwriter and producer. He began to work with longtime collaborator Alex Kurtzman while at school in California, and together they have worked on television series such as ''Hercules: The Legendary Journeys'', ''Xena: Warrior Princess'', and have created ''Sleepy Hollow'' alongside Phillip Iscove, and ''Fringe'' with J. J. Abrams. Orci and Kurtzman's first film project was Michael Bay's ''The Island'', and due to that partnership they went on to write the scripts for the first three films of the ''Transformers'' film series. Orci first became a film producer with 2008's ''Eagle Eye'' and again with 2009's ''The Proposal''. The duo since returned to working with Abrams on ''Mission: Impossible III'' and both ''Star Trek'' and ''Star Trek Into Darkness''. In April 2014, Orci and Kurtzman announced that they would only work together in television projects, and Orci worked on a third ''Star Trek'' film until being replaced the following December. Orci was awarded the Norman Lear Writer's Award and the Raul Julia Award for Excellence, in addition to shared awards and nominations including The George Pal Memorial Award. ==Early life== Orci was born in Mexico City on July 20, 1973,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://uk.ign.com/stars/roberto-orci )〕 to a Mexican father and a Cuban mother. His mother immigrated to the United States with her parents after Fidel Castro came to power. He is the older brother of screenwriter-producer J. R. Orci. He was raised in Canada, Texas, and Los Angeles.〔 He met his longtime friend and collaborator Alex Kurtzman when both were 17-year-old students at Crossroads, a privately funded school in Santa Monica, California.〔 The first time they came across each other was in a film class,〔 where they discovered each other's love for movies. The duo found that they had a number of things in common, as Kurtzman had previously lived in Mexico City and the two could relate. Orci later called him a "honorary Hispanic".〔 Orci went on to attend the University of Texas at Austin. The duo got together once again, and began to write scripts. These included one called ''Misfortune Cookies'' which Orci described as "loosely autobiographical",〔 and ''Last Kiss'', which Kurtzman said was their version of ''The Breakfast Club'' but was set in a lunatic asylum.〔 The duo modelled their relationship on writers Billy Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond, but were much closer friends rather than just writing partners. They took the approach that they were in a band together and purposely studied teams to discover why they break up. Kurtzman later explained in 2009 that "One big thing that makes the wheels start to wobble is when someone feels that the contribution isn't 50-50. We make sure we live up to the partnership. If we didn't, we wouldn't have lasted this long."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roberto Orci」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
