Trek Central is sad to share that Star Trek Kelvin Timeline Film Writer and Producer Roberto Orci has sadly passed away at the age of 51. Th

Here is a quote from the article (which I'll link to) that confirms it as Orci's "vision."

I apologize for the language here, but this piece is very enlightening with regards to Arcee's "arc" in TFP.

Below - and I won't link the article, but if you do find it, please avoid the first question and answer for the vulgarities it mentioned from the film - is confirmation that Bay was not the one who caused the trouble with the Arcee Triplets.

Honestly, the more I look back on Bayverse, the more I feel like I owe Michael Bay - and most likely Spielberg as well - a huge apology for the crap I and 90% of the fandom gave him over the years.

The man seems to be the ONLY reason anything good came out of the movies....

Something interesting about the Kelvinverse is that Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci evidently see it as divergent from the co-existing Prime Universe starting in 2233. However, Simon Pegg has the viewpoint that the Kelvinverse is less a duplicate train switching onto a different track and more a rock thrown into a pond:

"Spock's incursion from the Prime Universe created a multidimensional reality shift. The rift in space/time created an entirely new reality in all directions, top to bottom, from the Big Bang to the end of everything. As such this reality was, is and always will be subtly different from the Prime Universe."

Thought-provoking stuff.

Do you want to know why Xena’s sword fighting was so good? They had Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman in staff.

Well before they were known for their swashbuckling Mexican productions of ‘The Mask Of Zorro and ‘The Legend Of Zorro’ and their other credible works on Star Trek and Alias. They know how to write action scenes!

Sadly we lost Orci last year. But Kurtzman is still going.

Star Trek Beyond premiered on July 22, 2016. The film was dedicated to Anton Yelchin (Chekov), who died a month before the film's release. The film was used to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Star Trek franchise. It was the first theatrical release that protrayed Sulu (John Cho) as being gay, which created some controversy. The move was meant as a tribute to the original Sulu (George Takei), who is a prominent gay man and gay rights advocate. However, Takei responded “I’m delighted that there’s a gay character,” he was quoted by The Hollywood Reporter. “Unfortunately, it’s a twisting of Gene’s creation, to which he put in so much thought. I think it’s really unfortunate.” J.J. Abrams handed over directing duties to Justin Lin as he was busy directing Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens. Simon Pegg (Scotty) co-wrote it with Doug Jung, Roberto Orci, Patrick McKay, and John D Payne. The film was nominated for numerous awards, but only won a Saturn Award for Best Make-Up. The film underperformed at the box office losing approximately 50.5 million dollars. The events of the film took place in March of 2263.

Back in 2014, Star Trek Into Oblivion was the third Kelvinverse Star Trek movie, set to be directed by Roberto Orci. They did concept art, location scouting and casting. Then everything went quiet and Star Trek Beyond, directed by Justin Lin, was announced and rushed into production.

After reading this, I'm very glad Orci was dropped from Trek and vanished from Hollywood altogether:
