In the film sphere, Kurtzman and Orci made a splash with the sci-fi thriller The Island, their feature film debut helmed by Michael Bay. Late 2005 saw the release of The Legend of Zorro, while in 2006, the duo re-teamed with Abrams to write the third installment of Mission: Impossible. 2007 saw the pair write Transformers, a live-action adaptation of the popular animated series.
