Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci To Write Amazing Spider-Man 2

The folks over at THR are reporting that Sony Pictures has hired the screenwriting duo of Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to write ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2.” For those of you  unfamiliar with Kurtzman & Orci, as if you geeks don’t actually know who they are, they have written some of the most popular blockbusters (not always a good thing) of the last 5 years. Their credits include, 2009’s “Star Trek” reboot, Mission Impossible 3, the abomination known as “Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen,” the sleeper movie (in my case, literally) “Cowboys & Aliens,” and are the co-creators of Fox’s “Fringe.”

“The Amazing Spider-Man” swings onto movie screen’s July 3.
