Hollywood speculation about Brad Pitt in discussions for a Star Trek movie. Maybe the Tarantino version? Has he publicly said what his last movie is?

————————————————-

It’s entirely possible that he’s talking to them about a brand new movie that no one has heard about yet. It’s also possible that this is a sign that Quentin Tarantino Star Trek movie is back on the table.


Mark L. Smith, who wrote The Revenant, co-wrote a Star Trek script with Quentin Tarantino. The story is said to be rated-R and includes tropes from 1930s gangster movies. While Tarantino has said some conflicting things about whether he’d ever actually make this movie, or direct it, it is a project that he has talked about a lot in interviews.

While Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt were promoting Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood, a Quentin Tarantino film they both starred in, they were asked if they’d want to be in a Tarantino Star Trek movie. They both said they’d love to do it. Quentin Tarantino often works with the same actors on multiple projects. While it’s been impossible to judge the odds of the Quentin Tarantino project ever happening, the idea of Brad Pitt talking to the studio about that one is certainly intriguing.

I want to live in a universe that this Tarantino Trek movie exists solely for the fact I would expect it to be so ****ing terrible that it may go all the way around to being good again.

Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie in Trek? Why not Leonardo DiCaprio and John Travolta while we are at it?

They didn’t want to pay Chris Pine’s price a few years ago but they’re going to pay Pitt? Pitt would have to take a huge discount to ever get such a movie made.

None of it makes any sense, but look at the direction all the new Star Trek stuff is going.

We all love Pitt, but Pine is 5x the actor on top of it all.

"Say 'Qapla' again, mother****er!"


I don't know who I'd pick to make a good Trek flick, but if I was making a list Tarantino would be near the bottom. In fact , I think Tarantino ****ing sucks.


P.S. Remember this old pic?

I always thought it wss pretty neat. Since I'm still practicing Photoshop stuff I thought I'd see if I could do something similar. Total disaster. I just spent 2 days trying to Photoshop someone into a Cardassian. The best of the bunch turned out looking like the Borg Queen with a bunch of snake themed refrigerator magnets stuck to her face.


P.P.S. I just read that Bob Herron died recently. He was a stunt man in hundreds of tv shows and movies, but TOS fans might remember him as Kahless in The Savage Curtain or as the laughing dude in the gym who Charlie X wishes into the cornfield. I'll always remember him from his work on The Wild Wild West; he was Ross Martin's stunt double and made several more appearances in bit parts.

Anyone hoping that there will be good Trek anytime soon can forget about it:

In a Sunday New York Times profile, it was first reported that CBS Studios has renegotiated their deal with Alex Kurtzman. The new $160 million deal has now extended his stay for five and a half years, putting him in charge of the Star Trek Universe through at least 2026

If Tarantino wants his last movie to be a Star Trek Captain Kirk movie, he will get full control and final cut or he wont do it. And they will happily give it to him. Even if its the first "R" Star Trek movie.

Because of the advanced technology and past Star Trek universe movies, he could work in several movie genres he's never done like a gangster movie into this one.

I look forward to three hours of inane dialogue and countless ripoffs of ...er...I mean homages to other movies. Dude needs as editor almost as much as he needs some original ideas.

I think Tarantino appeals to a lot of people who want to think of themselves as esoteric movie buffs but who don't want to be bothered by watching a bunch of movies.

Everyone I know (including myself) likes Tarantino movies for the humor and violence, not because they see themselves as movie buffs. Star Trek would definitely not be my first choice for a Tarantino treatment, but I can't imagine the continued shit coming from Kurtzman being any better. Sad day for Trek fans.

Tarantino had a great run back in the early/mid 90's. After that.....meh.....

Yep

Reservoir Dogs
True Romance
Pulp Fiction

After those, I just didn't care anymore.

First half of Dusk til Dawn.


After that his movies went off the rails.

I finally watched it. I did it because I thoroughly enjoy Lower Decks and I know they make references to the other shows and I wanted to get those references.



The good:

Jet Reno is a phenomenal character and Tig Notaro plays the role perfectly. Jet is by far my favorite character in anything Trek created after DS9 with Phlox a close second.

Mirror Universe Georgiou was phenomenal. I do really hope that we get to see her one more time in some future exploration of the Mirror Universe... which for me is saying a lot because I loathe the Mirror Universe.

Saru is a wonderful addition to the Trek universe and is one of the best written Trek characters in a long time.

The CGI in the show is outstanding. I was thrilled to finally see some sort of fighter on fighter action in Trek instead of just the heavyweights duking it out.

I actually enjoyed Stammets. I loved how in the beginning of the series he is an abrupt condescending asshole... then upon getting high on shrooms he mellows out. He is still an abrupt condescending asshole... but a loveable one.

The Burn was a great plot device.



The bad:

I absolutely hate how Burnham started the series as someone who was shoehorned in as Spock's adopted sister raised as a Vulcan and held on to those mannerisms until well after she became a Commander which implies several years. By the end of season 1 she has dropped any pretense of her Vulcan upbringing outside of a very framed and emphasized eyebrow raise when talking about Spock and the occasional use of the word "Logic". The cadence of her voice changes completely halfway through the first season and only returns when she is dealing with Sarek or Spock.

Burnham is, to me, just unlikeable and as she is the focus of the show... has made this a less than thrilling series to get through. This bit in particular really stings because ST:Discovery could have actually been titled ST:Michael Burnham for about 2 seasons worth of episodes.

Klingon "Time Crystals". Seriously... WTF.

Season 4 was nothing more than a re-hash of the Xindi plotline in Enterprise with a super quick and neat bow tied on at the end of it.

Lastly... one would think that by the 32nd century that humanity would have gotten past the societal issues around gender and pronouns. For example, Adira expressing frustration/anxiety/sadness? over Stammets referring to them as "her". I just didn't even remotely expect that the writers of the show would see that as still being an on-going issue damn near 1,100 years into the future. Especially when Kirk and Riker had already plowed through half the universe including the a-gendered. To me, it felt a lot like how the writers felt the need to highlight that there were women on the bridge but did so in a negative light with Pike dressing down a Yeoman then stating he will never get used to women on the bridge on "The Cage".

/That last point is in no way shape or form to be taken as being phobic in any way. I'm 100% for representation and inclusion... I just question the negative spin they put on the issue and how people still viewed gender 1,100 years into humanity's future.
