Quentin Tarantino wants to make a Star Trek<\/strong> movie and Paramount is interested in making it happen.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> is reporting that the maverick writer\/director has had a great idea for a Star Trek<\/strong> film that he shared with JJ Abrams, who recently relaunched the cinema-side of the science-fiction franchise for Paramount. Abrams and the studio were reportedly excited enough by the idea that the studio is setting up a writer’s room to hear Tarantino’s idea and begin development of it. If everything goes to plan, Tarantino will direct the end result.<\/p>\n

If the film does come together, this will mark the second time that Tarantino will work with material that did not originate with the writer\/director. The only previous time that he has worked with another’s material was when he adapted Elmore Leonard’s 1992 novel Rum Punch<\/em> into 1997’s Jackie Brown<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I know that there is probably a lot of head scratching going on over the pairing of Tarantino and Trek<\/strong>, but quite frankly it makes sense to me. Tarantino has always been about taking pulp tropes and redefining them. The original Gene Roddenerry-created Star Trek<\/em> TV series did the same for television science-fiction, taking standard outer space adventure stories and turning them into weekly morality plays that commented on socio-political issues of the day.<\/p>\n

And Tarantino has hinted that before he was a Star Trek<\/strong> fan. The first of his two part homage to revenge films Kill Bill opens with the Klingon proverb “Revenge is a dish best served cold” from perhaps the franchise’s best cinematic installment Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Currently, Tarantino is in pre-production for his untitled film about murdered actress Sharon Tate for an August 9, 2019 release. Abrams is starting up work on Star Wars: Episode IX<\/strong> for December 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
