The pair got started writing on TV with "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and "Alias" before transitioning to film a decade ago. On screen they've mostly been known for their collaborations with J.J. Abrams and Michael Bay.
While most of the films they have written have been big box-office winners, quality wise they've varied considerably. Their strongest work to date has included the "Star Trek" reboot, the first "Transformers"film and TV series like "Fringe" the Hawaii Five-0 update and "Sleepy Hollow".
They also wrote "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," "Star Trek Into Darkness," "The Island," "Cowboys & Aliens" "The Legend of Zorro," "Mission: Impossible III " and served as producers on movies like "Now You See Me," "Eagle Eye" "The Proposal" and "Ender's Game".
The split is said to be amicable and the TV side of their production company K/O Paper Products remains intact.
Each one has now begun focusing on separate franchises, with Orci sticking with "Trek" and may even direct Star Trek 3.
Kurtzman, who penned the script for r Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is sticking with the the Spidey film series and is attached to direct the spin-off villain film "Venom".
