Happy Birthday, Roberto Orci July 20, 2009

by TrekMovie.com Staff , Filed under: Orci/Kurtzman, Star Trek (2009 film) , trackback

Roberto Gaston Orci was born on July 20th 1973 in Mexico City, Mexico. Today TrekMovie takes a moment to wish a happy 36th birthday to this Trek fan who was so instrumental in the reinvigoration of the Star Trek franchise. We also have a little news on a new DVD of Bob and his writing partner Alex speaking at a recent WGA event.

 

Of all the members of Star Trek’s new ‘Supreme Court’, co-screenwriter and executive producer Roberto Orci is often noted to be the biggest Trekkie of the bunch. For TrekMovie community members this is self-evident from his regular visits to the comments section for both formal and informal feedback sessions with the fans here at TrekMovie. So he may be a big-time writer and producer, and one of the 50 Most Powerful Latino’s in Hollywood (according to the Hollywood Reporter), but to us he is Bob, a fellow Trekkie.

Happy Birthday Bob!


Live long and prosper Bob

 


Bob and Alex on DVD
Back in May we reported on a WGA event where Bob Orci and his writing partner Alex Kurtzman spoke and did some Q&A from fans and fellow writers. That event was recorded and is now available on DVD. Here is a new video clip with Bob and Alex talking about ‘committing to their universe.’

You can purchase a DVD of that WGA event from the WGA site.

Happy birthday, you talented sonuvagun. Your present is knowing that you got a chance to play in the wonderful sandbox we call Star Trek – and you built a very nice sandcastle for all of us to admire. Good for you!

42. Steve - July 20, 2009

I’m a big Bob Orci fan, always enjoy reading/hearing interviews with him. There’s no question in my mind that Mr. Orci and his fellow “Supreme Court” compatriots were the right people to take over Star Trek.

Happy Birthday!

49. Joshua C. - July 20, 2009

Bob, hope you’re having a good one. I wonder though, if you and Alex were in the middle of the festivities and say…a rich morsel of plot or dialogue wanders up there, would you both stop the party and get it down or risk it lost forever? Kiddin’ :). Live long and prosper.

50. Anthony Thompson - July 20, 2009

Happy Birthday Bob! Now, get to work on the sequel! : D

51. Shane Zeranski - July 20, 2009

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB!
Best

52. CmdrR - July 20, 2009

So, you’re 36, eh?
Of course, if you don’t like your age, you can grab the turkey baster, syphon off a few cc’s of red matter and hop back into your 20’s. But, that would still leave Bob Prime at 36, right? OK, my eyes just crossed… So…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB!

53. trekker-teriminator - July 20, 2009

As an aspiring screenwriter and producer, you’ve accomplished what I’m still trying to achieve. Congrats!

Now focus on the new Trek movie and when you’re not sure about something, just try another draft of the script. Lord knows Transformers 2 needed one! :-)

62. TC Jones - July 20, 2009

We appreciate you sir-many happy returns today!

70. AdamTrek - July 20, 2009

Dude, half way to 72. You better get cracking. I mean, c’mon, look what you have to show for yourself. You’re practically a lost cause. Oh, wait, you’re the opposite of a loser.

The best birthday wish I could give you is to live long and prosper.

=A=

71. Xai - July 20, 2009

Happy Birthday, BobO

72. Spockish - July 20, 2009

Happy birthday bob, born 4 years to the day of 3 years to the day before the Viking One lander showed us what Mars looked like.

No wonder you are good at authoring Space Movies, It would be a great gift if for your birthday a fantastic Trek movie idea popped into your head. As all Trek fans dream of such a gift to you, this gift would make you very happy to be able to please your fans almost as well.

P.S. Calories may not count on your birthday but the do every other day, and the odds are they are still in you the next day. So calories may not count on birthdays but the days after you’ll be remembering every non counted one afterwords.

73. VOODOO - July 20, 2009

Happy B-day Bob.

74. Alfredo Ruanova - July 20, 2009

81. S. John Ross - July 21, 2009
