Love affair over: Screenwriting duo Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci call it quits


Well the duo that brought you films like The Island, Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Mission Impossible 3 have called it quits.  It should be noted that the script duo of Kurtzman and Orci didn't have a falling out, but other opportunities have come up for both men. 

Kurtzman has already been tapped to direct the Spider-man spinoff Venom and Orci is working heavily on the third Star Trek film.  He's also lobbying heavily to direct as well. 

The two still  have a number of projects they've agreed to work on but how those will shake out is anyone's guess.  Kurtzman and Orci's latest (last?) film The Amazing Spider-man 2* releases next Friday.

*Interesting note about The Amazing Spider-man 3, director Marc Webb apparently wants J. Jonah Jameson, the editor of The Daily Bugle to return and wouldn't mind J.K. Simmons reprising the role.
