The unexpected might have just happened. Director Quentin Tarantino, the oddball behind Kill Bill and Django Unchained, is developing a Star Trek film with J.J. Abrams.
According to Deadline, Tarantino has come up with an amazing idea for a new Star Trek movie and Paramount and J.J. Abrams are getting behind. There is even the possibility that QT might direct:
“Sources said that Tarantino has come up with a great idea for a Star Trek movie at Paramount. After sharing his idea with J.J. Abrams (who himself is busy prepping Star Wars Episode IX), I’ve heard the plan is to assemble a writers room of scribes who’ll hear Tarantino’s take and begin to put together a movie. If it all works out, Tarantino might direct it, with Abrams producing.”
Quentin Tarantino hasn’t been secretive about his love for the franchise. He’s expressed his interest in Star Trek many times, even going as far as to say he would prefer working on a Trekkie film over a Star Wars film:
“I would be more inclined to do a Star Trek kind of thing rather than Star Wars. I haven’t considered considered it, like I’m going to do it, but I did web spin a little bit about the idea…The obvious one would be The City on the Edge of Forever. That’s what everyone would go to, but there’s a reason why everyone would go to that! It’s one of the classic stories of all time. And one of the great time travel stories.”
Of course, the film is still in very early stages and everything could change. For now, QT is working on his upcoming film for Sony.

Quentin Tarantino working alongside;
*PG13 constraints,
*Grand CGI spectacle setpieces and lastly
*An existing franchise
well…… count me in
Yes please. (and release a Rated R directors cut on Blu-ray!)
I really think this could be AWESOME!!
This would spark my interest in Star Trek
Stephen Dale
He always did state his love for the franchise and his idea for a movie. Strange as it may seem, this could be the best thing for the franchise…
Will be interesting to see if he can put out a decent film without using his trademarks. Sex, uncomfortable perversion, over use of words like, “fuck,” and tons of gore…
The New Mutants (Marvel) is turning the comic book, super hero, genre on its head with more of a horror movie vibe to it. Now they’re looking to change other genres.
I’m looking forward to this.
If he’s working on it with Abrams, I’m guessing it’ll be a continuation of the Kelvin timeline. It’d be interesting to see them do a Kelvin version of the TNG story.
Very bad
Bad
Vampires in space? Bloody shoot outs? What could he possibly bring to the table?
Sulu as the Kill Bill woman
i guess he knows these shoes are big, but could fit
It would be like having George R. R. Martin write it. Dark humor and people are probably going to die.
who knows yet
He should direct a DC movie, and I know what he’ll say to Kevin Tsujihara if that bastard want to interfere with his work
Mmmmm bad
BAD!!!!!
So first ever R rated star trek then? I’m intrigued. I mean if he likes Star trek perhaps he will dial it back a bit with the blood
It will be an epic win or an epic fail
I don’t mind Quentin’s movies but I don’t think he belongs in the Star Trek universe.
>:-(
It started with the stupid JJA ST Movie reboot, then we got the diseased STD… Star Trek has gone to the dogs…
(and thats coming from a hard core ST fan (since TOS!))
I’ll better watch “The Orville” reruns for the next year…
(I guess, Gene, from up there, does the same…)
discovery is not that bad and the jj movies are quite entertaining
Maybe…
But they are NOT Star Trek!
(at least not the ST we know and love!)
I have loved Star Trek since TOS originally aired and I love the JJ film’s and that cast as much as all the other entries in the franchise.
I agree, I love TOR, it is even more ST than ST.
Well…
Since STD is *not* ST, you are correct!
I’ve only seen the pilot from STD. Didn’t give me much to like.
The pilot was probably the best of the lot! ???
as long as this is in the soundtrack somewhere, i’m down
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml4wAnvfM4M
I’m down with you.
Couldn’t possibly wreck it worse than JJ
Don’t be so sure… :-(
My upper cognitive functions scream “Hell no!”…while my reptilian brain says “Hells yeah!”
Graphic blood and gore seem to be a Tarantino trademark– not really what I want to see in Star Trek…
think klingon
there goes the franchise into the bullet-ridden toilet.
Exactly… :-(
Hes a big fan of the series and wants to do an updated faithfully done big budget version of one of the episodes… Or even draw inspiration from it… Sounds good to me…. There’s no way paramount would put out an r rated star trek so it could work.
Are you kidding it’s an awesome idea man God knows the reboot need something it’s going to be interesting hell yeah
If we get a city on the edge of forever by QT. This could be movie of the year
so, theres a merc ship. flying around edges of federation space and the frontier
you pay them, they kill them
among the crew, a dishonored Klingon warrior, Frengi (theres money to me made. why the fuck not), Vuclan, trying to repay a debt. Ex Borg (those blue aliens? forget what tehy were called) and assorted humans
and a mysterious cook
oh, what if the dishonored klingon has a buddy, who was captured by the borg, and in saving him, he lost even more. so an arch could be them reclaiming the fallen klingons?
If he keeps to genre’s positive vision but first takes us to the bottom with the”horror of the edges of the frontier” it will be wonderful
This guy didn’t even stick to WWII canon. Hitler dies in paris in his movie lol
i guess hes used to working in alternate timelines
Thatll be cool now we need stephen king to direct a star wars movie
Oh dear god! Sooooo many red shirts are going to die…..
Totally lame idea.
I don’t know. An action sequence with black Betty playing in the background might be cool. Lol
Quentin is a good director, and if he kept to canon I could see him making a bloody good Star Trek movie, because he’ll give us back a good story rather than one so full of plot holes that it needs to rely on special effects to paper over the cracks.
If Paramount tries to kill the Star Trek franchise once and for all, let them name Tarentino as the next movie director …
Yep the year trek died 2017. First disco. Now this possibly happening?
I won’t ever watch anything he does unless or until he walks back his anti-police officer stance.
I skipped hateful 8 due to his attitude towards cops. But yeah the year trek was killed by paramount 2017!
Good idea
it couldn’t be any worse than the 2 shite previous movies – shame really as the 1st reboot film is actually v.v.good!
This is the daily share
Having an actual Star Trek fan at the helm I think would do it justice. Look how well Orville is doing!
Umm… Orville is a TV show, not movie, and it isn’t even doing so well compared to shows outside of Fox.
FOR Fox, it is doing okay. Anywhere else it would be considered to be limping along if not cancelled by now, with the ratings it has.
I’m not talking about ratings as much as the enjoyment of the fan base.
Not all the fan base. I left it on ep2
Obviously not everyone…
Potentially absolutely awesome.
awesome only small minded children will think it would be pulp fiction in space
“I can’t let you have this cargo container”
“Look at the big brain on Spock”
Maybe a mirrorverse movie
Tarantino has demonstrated with CSI that he can make a part of the franchise that is not necessarily his “version” of things. He is versatile. While I am not a huge fans of his films due to the violence and profanity that he uses, I do not assume that he will make Trek film that has all of that in it. I don’t see him doing a Kill Bill in space. He is a compelling film maker, and this could be a good thing for the franchise. Let’s see where they go with it.
That source, though?
Hip Hip Hooray!
Not gonna lie, I’m a little worried.
If anything, it has the potential to give TOS purists a little more of what they wanted. Just consider how well he is at revisiting retro genres of film like old kung fu flicks with Kill Bill or grindhouse films with Death Proof.
‘Do you know what they call a cheeseburger on Risa?’
7/32 pounder with cheese. There’s a slight gravity difference between Risa and Earth.
Risa uses the metric system.
They do, except at restaurants with 20th century America themes.
Beter than abrahams
Say Darmok again… Say Darmok one more time… i dare you i double dare you
I’m already imagining space vampires, werewolves, mermaids with phasers, Samuel L Jackson quoting the bible and John Travolta blowing up the head of a Vulcan. :-
I need to sleep! :p
Naah… This will be turn into some bloody space comedy
Wait until Samuel Jackson is a captain with a foul mouth
‘Mother******, I said take us to warp!’
I’m tired of these motherfuckin tribbles on this motherfuckin starship!
Fantastic a descent movie
Can’t watch anything made by a law enforcement hater!
He has a method that is versatile. I’d love to see his interpretation.
Versatile? Do you know how he rips everything in his movies off from some better director? Has he had one original idea in any one of his movies?
There hasn’t been original ideas in movies in decades all copycats
Better than JarJar abrhams
What the title of that article?
I guess everyone is a red shirt then…
That would be interesting.
Love it! :D <3
Whatever. I love my Star Trek Fan Films. http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/1.html
http://startrekreviewed.blogspot.com/2009/06/2.html
Bring in the red shirts!
Bad. Very very bad
I think this is a good idea
Good for you
Good lord…
Hmm…. I’m not a fan of Tarantino either but I guess with the not so good effort of the 2009 film and the travesty of into darkness id say a fresh perspective would help in any case as far as helping out Abrams so I’m all for it.
I love Tarantino. If he loves Star trek, he will do it justice.
No effin prequels!!
No prequels or time travel. That ish has been overdone like crazy.
One think I know is, I believe we were promised no more Kelvin/Abramsverse… So, this should be a prime universe movie.
We were promised that with Discovery too yet 90% of it is basically abramsverse style. Not dockin it cuz it hasn’t even come out yet but I had to point that out too.
Promising!
The reboots suck as does the new series. Cbs need flushed out the airlock and for jj abrams he fucked star trek with those awful films. Tarantino cool as long as Abrams isnt involved he fucked two franchises i love Star Trek and Star Wars. Hes about to fuck star wars again directing Episode 9.
Erm.. what about Justin Lin? He directed Beyond, and that film felt TOS.
Beyond was the worst of all the reboots.
Your opinion.
Stuart Park I disagree. It was the best of the 3. Into darkness sucked Targ balls. At least Beyond seemed the most original and didn’t have the enterprise coming out of water.
Chris Pine is a decent Kirk, imo…as a matter of fact, I thought most of the cast was good (not crazy about Scotty) … the writing and timeline changes sucks, and writers should take a few Cosmology and Physics courses before they decide to tackle any Sci Fi…..While Im not against the Kelvin timeline, these knuckleheads shouldve had more respect to the original timeline: It just proves to me that many people involved with NuTrek probably didnt know much about canon or didnt want to bother to consult folks that did know it and creating an alternate timeline gave them the freedom to do whatever the f they wanted…..
awwwww….. did we need to find out, that our own view on Star Trek is not the only one? And that there’s other views with enough people as well?
You know what they call a Big Mac on Vulcan – they don’t ’cause them m********ers don’t eat meat.
Did you see a sign on the front of my house that says Dead Vulcan storage?
You know why you didn’t see that sign?
Because storing dead vulcans ain’t my fucking business! That’s why!
Ya gotta luv it
It can t suck anymore than STD
Well you know the violence will be quite graphic.
Bad
Good
Bad, very very bad.
If this happens I’m done with Trek.
You won’t be missed
OH NO! SOMETHING DIFFERENT! QUICK! RAGE QUIT AND DRAW THE WORST POSSIBLE CONCLUSIONS EVER! NO TIME FOR COMMON SENSE! PANIC AND ATTACK ALL THOSE WHO THINK THIS IS GOOD!
Bad.
Good
He’s a huge Star Trek fan; I’m curious how this will turn out. It will certainly be interesting!
No terrible!
Could be the best thing that ever happened.
Fab
Why not? After discovery I can wait anything
Discovery is great, true Trek as Gene wanted it.
Gene is not around to tell us
Hysterically funny
Well, why let the franchise die an unremarkable death, when you can get lens flares and swearing to do it much more remarkably?
Star Trek died in 1999
This is becoming the most talked about thing on Facebook lol. My stream is FILLED with Tarantino Star trek post.
STar trek was murdered by TNG movies
TNG moves are the start and Enterprise was last nail to the Coffin
JJ Abram dance on its grave
Actually Strek Trek movies were murdered when William Shatner decided to direct one. And write books. TNG at least tried to save the series and I think they did a good job. Because if they hadnt we would have gotten a voyager movie and no one wants to see janeway again. much less in a movie.
no not really it was saved by n0 6 TNG movie literally DID kill star trek
ONe episode we have Picard lecturing how bad Religion is thehn in movie he is seen celbarating it ?
The episode Best of both World is far more sup[erior than First Contact
Too bad…
Hate Quentin more than I hate Jar Jar…
Let’s just hope it is NOT CANON TILL WE SEE!
The day it releases in theaters, it will be canon. I’m not sure what you mean.
Jeff Boehm I am just afraid he was s gonna wreck shit!
He is one of the most talented filmmakers in our time. If they give him the reigns, I’m confident it will be impressive. But yes, it will be different.
Jeff Boehm I hate his shit though! He is terrible!
To each their own, i guess. But i think this is very exciting. Pulp Fiction? Kill Bill? Reservoir Dogs? Inglorious Basterds? These are masterpieces of American film making. I don’t even like all his stuff, but his genius is still obvious to me.
I still think this actuality happening is a long shot. He’s a bit of a diva, and this kind of movie has a lot of hands involved. I can’t see him being as compromising as would be required.
Jeff Boehm seriously I would rather eat glass than be forced to watch pulp fiction! Whenever my wife and I are watching a movie and it gets terrible we look at each other and say gotta be a terribletino film! Most of the time it is! Seriously HATE HIS WORK!
Like i said, you are entitled to whatever wrong opinions you might entertain.
Anyone who doesn’t see huge potential here, or who don’t appreciate Quentin’s genius, doesn’t know movies.
Darmoth,when the walls fell..
At least it’s not another Snyder fiasco
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/97/d0/21/97d0212de7ba2574cefe0a257b8a661f.jpg
Good
It is gonna be fantastic! I just hope they do something different than the Enterprise.
Something in the future after the Dominion War
Its fucking fantastic!
I curse word here and there in trek I can live with, and I do love Tarantino movies but I just don’t see an intelligent dialog coming out of this. Still it might shake things up a bit so we can get back on track.
Only if Samuel L. Jackson plays Uhura. “Does captain Kirk look like a bitch to you?!”
Say ‘what’ again. Say ‘what’ again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more Goddamn time!
Everybody dies, even Spock, twice.
… ”the horror, …. the horror ”
I am agreeing with Sherman. If he does can he do it without gore and cussing/swearing.Because if those elements come into it it is not Star Trek anymore
Good
I’m at the point where everything made after VOY, ENT and Nemesis is just white noise. I think I’ll start reading some of the novels and continue to watch Orville for my Star Trek fix. This franchise has been officially hijacked
My exact thoughts on the matter
I’m at the point where everything made after VOY, ENT and Nemesis is just white noise. I think I’ll start reading some of the novels and continue to watch Orville for my Star Trek fix. This franchise has been officially hijacked. It just goes to show you that you can have an idea that can change the world and it could be whored out by a corporation. I hope QT do
does well. I do like some of his movies. This franchise which start as a morality play and Inspired hundreds of inventions is now drivel with a Hodgepodge of lens flares, shit blowing up for no reason and f-bombs. But I guess for some it’s Crazy Sexy Cool.
Instead of giving tarantino Trek, give him Gary Seven….let him go crazy with it.
Bad! Really Bad!!IMPOSSIBLY BAD!!!
QT’s reputation as a overly violent prone director precedes him. Team him up with the heretical JJ Adams and the end of ST as we know it is certain..
Are you out of your Mother F*&^%$%# Vulcan mind?
Can’t be worse than STD.
The negativity in this thread is sad. Bunch of closed-minded blowhards.
John, why do you think it’s ok to call your fellow fans as “closed-minded blowhards?
Do you feel threatened when someone disagrees with your viewpoint?
Does your hostility come to the forefront when dealing with different opinions?
Do you feel superior when calling other ST fans names?
These questions and many more come to mind when you criticize your fellow ST fans with name calling merely for expressing themselves in an open forum such as this.
Please consider these thoughts in the future and do have a great rest of the week!
??
Steve, thanks for the Dr Phil lecture.
Dr. Phil? LOL! You honor me, sir. Nevertheless, try not to be too upset with others when their opinions don’t align with yours. There’s a lot of folks who think the Abrams/Tarantino pairing would not be a good thing. They most likely are every bit as much of a fan as you are.
Expressing your opinions, great. Putting down others with demeaning words because they disagree with you, not so great.
And I am serious when I wish you a great rest of the week, friend.
?? ?
Well, it couldn’t possibly be worse than Beyond.
Klingon…do you speak it, motherf#&$(#r?
Bad – he is a tosser
I read an interview where Tarantino was a HUGE TOS fan. I think if any directors out there that has one iota of a clue in regards to Trek, it would be Quentin.
I pray you are correct!

Yes I was the first

I wonder if he will kill himself this movie as well?
Fucking Brilliant!
Time to kick Federation butt! Say “Prime Directive” one more time!
Yes!!
Why not?
Do you see a sign on the side of my ship that says dead Klingon storage???
If it’s still working off of the new timeline, that’s like getting Gordon Ramsey to try and spruce-up a plate of dogshit.
The whole thing is trash. Scrape it in the bin and move on.
It kinda makes sense
Blood extreme violence and cussing and lens flares
I wonder how many F bombs will be dropped and now many times we’ll hear the N word in casual conversation?
I can see it now….
Kirk: Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese on Vulcan?
McCoy: They don’t call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
Kirk: No man they’re vegetarians and got the metric system on that planet- they have no clue what the fuck a quarter pounder with cheese is.
WHAT DOES MR. SPOCK LOOK LIKE?!

Warp Fiction?
Scotty: she’s goin’ as fast as she fuckin’ can Captain!
McCoy: Fuck it Jim, I’m a doctor not an advisor.
Spock: That is fuckin’ illogical Captain!
Warp Fiction?
Bad idea. It will definitely flop big time

Nope. Hate that fucker for my own reasons and I refuse to watch his shit no matter its quality or content. May he die painfully waiting for help from those who have already sacrificed their brothers and sisters protecting cunts like him.

?????? Hmmmmmm.
great
no no no no no no no no no no nooooooooooo!!!!!!!
“STOP POINTING THAT PHASER AT MY DAAAAD!!” bleeoooooop***
The logical conclusion of watering the franchise down with the JJ Abhrams crap, ST Discovery…
The property has been turned into a mainstream sci-fi shoot’em up with no trace of Trek left in it.
All the proof you need is this article right here.
Well….it’d be the first star trek i dont want to see…. :( Tarantino…the Johnny depp of movie makers

Tyler Moffett
I’m really excited bout that ive heard him say that he’s had great idea for it for some time
He’s a good director, better than Abrams.
Abrams is NOT that bad of a director! LOL Yeah,, he sucks
Tim Cook I agree.
