Several days ago when it was reported that
Justin Lin ("The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift") replaced
Roberto Orci as the director of
Star Trek 3 many websites such as
The New York Times,
The Daily News,
TrekMovie.com, and about a
thousand more, added this bit of info, "
Orci will still serve as a writer and producer on the film," I'm assuming that information originated from
Deadline, which was the site that broke the story, but their article currently doesn't mention that information. Anyway, this caused a bit of confusion for
Star Trek fans and Orci decided to visit
trekmovie.com and leave a message in their comment section to clarify his involvement.
"I’m producing, Mothing Nothing more or less," Orci wrote.
He also took a moment to defend the alternate
Star Trek timeline he helped to create, which some fans still haven't embraced. Orci wrote, "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."
