Roberto Orci on "Star Trek" Sequel

A few days ago, a rumor was passed around that the upcoming "Star Trek" sequel will have a cliffhanger that will lead into the third film. io9 now caught up with writer Roberto Orci and asked him whether there is any truth to that.

Orci explained that he, co-writer Alex Kurtzman, director JJ Abrams, and producer Bryan Burk had one meeting, lasting fifteen minutes, in which they considered the idea of doing the next two movies as a linked story.

He added that the idea is just one of many and it is still too early to say what they'll end up going with.

The site also asked whether the sequel will have the main character try to give up being a hero, similar to the storylines of many other sequels (Spider-Man 2, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen).

Orci replied that the formula doesn't apply to every second installment in a franchise. In the case of "Star Trek," he sees the Enterprise crew as being much more committed to their mission and to doing good in the universe.
