Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Star Trek’ Movie Will Be R-Rated; Zeroing in on Writer
http://collider.com/quentin-tarantin...mpression=true
The Curious Case of Quentin Tarantino’s Star Trek Movie keeps getting weirder and weirder. The news itself was the first off-the-wall idea, with word breaking earlier this week that Tarantino had pitched an idea for a Star Trek movie to producer J.J. Abrams, who sparked to the pitch and quickly made this official. A writers room was assembled incredibly quickly, and Tarantino spent hours with scribes Mark L. Smith (The Revenant), Lindsey Beer (Chaos Walking), and Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3) to kick around ideas on how to tackle Tarantino’s approach. Per Deadline, Smith is currently the frontrunner to land the job, but the bigger news is that this Star Trek movie will be R-rated. This was a condition of Tarantino being involved, and one that both Abrams and Paramount agreed to. It’s a first for the franchise, but Paramount is in something of a bind as the series has yet to really take off the way it had hoped at the box office, so clearly they’ve sparked to this left-field idea of having Quentin Freaking Tarantino direct it. There’s no guarantee Tarantino will direct this movie, but the idea is for the winning scribe to work on the screenplay while the Inglourious Basterds filmmaker shoots his next movie next summer. If the script is to Tarantino’s liking, he’ll direct this Star Trek movie. Now, Tarantino has been pretty adamant about the fact that he’s only making 10 films and then he’s retiring. His 1969-set Manson Murders drama that he’s shooting next summer is #9, which would make Star Trek #10 if he indeed makes it. Would he stick to his retirement plan? Would Quentin Tarantino really go out directing a blockbuster written by someone other than himself? I have a hard time believing it, so my guess is A. Tarantino simply produces and/or gets a “Story By” credit and someone else directs this movie or B. Tarantino makes one more original movie after Trek. Regardless, this whole thing is kind of insane and it’s moving really fast. Tarantino usually takes quite a bit of time between projects, but thus far everything about this Star Trek movie has been atypical for the Oscar-winning writer/director. We’ll likely hear more soon, but what do you think about an R-rated Star Trek movie folks? |

It's a pity Disney had no balls and didn't get Tarantino to do the Han Solo film.
Because THAT would have rocked. |

I'd actually love him to do a brief cameo. Sitting in a red shirt in 10 Forward, surrounded by a small group of new crew, worried about their first mission. Then the grizzly old veteran dives into a Tarantion monologue...
SLJ: "See this red shirt? See this black skin? Ain't nothing but a mother****in' death sentence. You wanna live? You gotta be smart. You do not EVER leave this mother****in' ship! You hear what I'm saying?! You NEVER get off the boat! No matter what the port or planet, you DO NOT leave this mother****ing ship!" SLJ: "See here. I got this mother ****er figured out. I'm on my very last tour and then I'm done with a sweet ass pension and pimped out ride I built from parts smuggled outta the shuttle bay. The key is, you got ta find a job that they will NEVER EVER need on an away mission. Why do you think I joined the sanitation crew? Bitch I got 16 degrees and 4 nobel prizes. I clean toilets cuz it keeps me alive, never leaving this ship." SLJ: "You think I like cleaning toilets? You see what them blue folk eat? Maaaannn those mother****ers clog up the pipes all over the ship. And the Captain?! That bald ass mother****er shits out a brown stew you can smell 3 decks away plugs shit up like cement. ****. Cleaning toilets for almost 40 years on this bitch. One last..." PA: "Crewman Jackson, please report to transport room A for an away mission. Crewman Jackson, please report to transporter room A for an away mission." |

Found this interview with Tarantino where he goes full Star Trek nerd. Maybe he does chose Star Trek as his last movie?

Taratino said on a comedians podcast that he already has a serialized 8 episode story arc written and done for his first TV project after his 10th and final movie is done.
