Roberto Orci Denies Details of AICN Negative Review, Again - Spoilers

Features

By GustavoLeao / 05:02, 7 January 2008 / Feature Films

Star Trek movie writer Roberto Orci popped onto the Don Murphy message board and completely and specifically denied that the details on AICN negative review were true.

He said:

"No area 51. That makes no sense. The Earth KNOWS there are aliens. What possible meaning could an area 51 have?"

"No Kirk as bad student. We all know he's a genius."

"No protesters with signs about anything."

"Yes, there's great action, but we've said that in other interviews."

The original report is here.

Why bother to deny rumors? | Report this post to moderator
By: VZX (Odo's file, contact) @ 20:53:04 on Jan 07, 2008

Rumors on the internet about upcoming movies have been around since the internet went public. Why is this guy reponding to them? So, if they're wrong, big deal, ignore them. To come out and say they are wrong looks unprofessional.

I really lost almost all hope on this movie. This Orci guy isn't helping. But I am still following the details as they come out. It's fun! Thanks, Trekweb. You guys are awesome.

...that he didn't shove a grenade up AICN's azz.

--------

In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

-Harry Lime (Orson Welles), "The Third Man"



Political tags-such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth-are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Mums for Meatheads | Report this post to moderator
By: TRexx (Odo's file, contact) @ 11:32:36 on Jan 07, 2008

Quote from c.p.:
Now he should do what he said he should have done and not comment any more on rumors.


Orci should go mum simply because he tends to come across as a meathead.

Example: Orci has said it's difficult to write for characters that we know won't die by the end of the adventure. Such an uninspired scribe has no business penning for Gene Roddenberry's timeless triumvirate. Star Trek isn't about escaping death, it's about why humans aspire. The former is the stuff of video games, the latter is the stuff of sentient life.

Executive producer Bryan Burk said five brains worked on the ST:XI script. Since that included Orci, it was more like four-and-a-half brains. ;-)

AICN is a total waste. | Report this post to moderator

I'm glad the man is slappin' 'em around. But this alone:

Makes me feel a lot better as it strongly suggests that Kirk beating the KM isn't going to happen SOLELY by him banging his way through the test.

Suck it, AICN | Report this post to moderator
By: c.p. (Odo's file, contact) @ 07:14:53 on Jan 07, 2008

YES! Categorical denials. I love them.

Now he should do what he said he should have done and not comment any more on rumors. Because he's right. Sooner or later something will come up that's true, but in an untrue and unflattering context, and he won't be able to deny it as strongly. It's very tricky, and we're a tough audience. This new strategy of theirs, where they interact with the fans directly in forums, is cool but it's got to be tricky for them.

Orci is funny | Report this post to moderator
By: captainkoloth (Odo's file, contact, web site) @ 05:18:35 on Jan 07, 2008

This is hilarious. I don't blame him for coming out and denying these rumours. I still stand by the Leonard Nimoy principle: if Nimoy brings himself out of his acting retirement to resurrect the character of Spock, the script must have something to it.

I have to admit that I took some of that AICN bait, or at least nibbled at the hook for a second. heh It was more of that I didn't want to believe it, but since it was written on the internets there might be a string of truth to the article. Anyway, I'm glad Orci decided to set that straight.

--------

There once was a man named Scorned,

whose posts were more offensive than porn.

He posted one too many,

got kicked out on his fanny,

and all the while he had been warned.
