Quentin Tarantino To Direct Star Trek?

The opening scene will be the end of the known universe, the dawn of man will be in the middle, and Kirk fighting Klingons will be the very end.
 
It's hard to picture how this could play out. Will it be extreme retro in style or modern, but with much improved dialogue and plot?

Or Inglorious Basterds in Space?

Or kind of like Serenity with a bigger budget and a Tarantino spin on it with Star Trek branding? Serenity succeeded in having the action and conflict as well as a strong core Sci-Fi concept being what happened on Miranda. I think things like the latter used to be a hallmark of Star Trek and the franchise has often flounder doing that or just giving up trying. So, I wonder if the reason Tarantino is doing this is to see if he can pull that off.

I guess personally for me peak Star Trek was part 6: The Undiscovered Country. I liked how it was unsure who was on who's side and there could be a conspiracy.

Otherwise, I wonder if he'll redo the original crew or create a brand new crew or ship other than The Enterprise?
 
Interesting choice I suppose. Tarantino has never done sci-fi, and I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm interested in a sci-fi film from him, but I'm not sure if I want a Star Trek movie from him.

The minute that Quentin Tarantino mentioned a “loophole,” we sat up and paid closer attention. Because this concept of retiring after directing 10 films was created by Tarantino himself, and so if anyone was going to change the “rules” of this self-imposed game, it could and would be him.

“I guess I do have a loophole, [if] the idea was to throw a loophole into it. Which would be [to go], ‘Uhhh, I guess Star Trekdoesn't count. I can do Star Trek… but naturally I would end on an original.’ But the idea of doing 10 isn't to come up with a loophole. I actually think, if I was going to do Star Trek, I should commit to it. It's my last movie. There should be nothing left handed about it. I don't know if I'm going to do that, but that might happen.”
 
eh.... I hope he goes no where near Star Trek. His style is not what the brand needs.

“I get annoyed at Simon Pegg. He doesn’t know anything about what’s going on and he keeps making all these comments as if he knows about stuff. One of the comments he said, he’s like “Well, look, it’s not going to be Pulp Fiction in space.” Yes, it is! [laughs hard]. If I do it, that’s exactly what it’ll be. It’ll be Pulp Fiction in space. That Pulp Fiction-y aspect, when I read the script, I felt, I have never read a science fiction movie that has this sh*t in it, ever. There’s no science fiction movie that has this in it. And they said, I know, that’s why we want to make it. It’s, at the very least, unique in that regard.”

That's an interesting comment. I'm not sure what sh;t from Pulp Fiction he means between characters or plot?

I'm also not sure if he's really refering to all Sci-Fi or the lmited amount of stories with spaceships.

I mean could the original ROBOCOP in someways come close? It had bit a cheesy side but it could also be serious.

Do some movie titles demand to be in ALL CAPS?

Well, it’s an idea then we got together and talked it out and then we hired Mark Smith, who did [The] Revenant to write the script. I don’t know how much I can say. The one thing I can say is it would deal with the Chris Pine timeline. Now, I still don’t quite understand, and J.J. [Abrams] can’t explain it to me, and my editor has tried to explain it to me and I still don’t get it...about something happened in the first movie that now kind of wiped the slate clean. I don’t buy that. I don’t like it. I don’t appreciate it. I don’t — f*** that...I want the whole series to have happened, it just hasn’t happened yet. No, Benedict Cumberbatch or whatever his name is is not Khan, alright? Khan is Khan. And I told J.J., like, ‘I don’t understand this. I don’t like it.’ And then he was like, ‘Ignore it! Nobody likes it. I don’t understand it. Just do whatever you want. If you want it to happen the exact way it happens on the series it can.​
 
Funny how Tim Roth is in Marvel now.

I demand Abomination reference this scene
