Roberto Orci has clarified his involvement in the upcoming "Star Trek 3". Many news outlets previously reported that Orci would write the script and produce, but now he confirms he is not writing the script.

Orci explained his contribution to the highly-anticipated movie in a comment section on trekmovie.com. "I'm producing, [Nothing] more or less," he wrote. Orci also defended the movie's timeline, writing, "Stop blaming BR [Bad Robot]. It was my idea so that you would not know what was gonna happen next. Nothing more or less. I Stand behind it. And it, again, is the reason why I make movies and you don't."

Editors' Pick

"Star Trek 3" will be directed by Justin Lin ("Fast and Furious 6") after Orci left a few weeks ago. He was originally tapped to direct the movie after the previous two movies director J. J. Abrams passed on the project. "Star Trek 3" is eyeing a July 8, 2016 release date.
