Is Quentin Tarantino really making a Star Trek movie ?

I feel like it's a joke the whole world is in on except me

After the last three movies, I'm ready for a change. I think he might be able to do something really cool.

Tarantino is probably my favorite director. But I’m not sure he’s the right person for Star Trek. But I’m game. Whether you like him or not, you will definitely get a unique take on it...

I’m ready, mother-****ers...

That's exactly how I feel.

I'm curious to see what he will do with a known property (in fact, one of the best-know, at that) because all of his stuff so far is straight out of his own head and set in a universe of his creation (Red Apples, anyone?). I know "Jackie Brown" was based on an Elmore Leornard novel, but it had crime/caper/humor/great dialog so it was not any kind of departure from the Tarantino-verse.

Also, that video is awesome!!!!

According to what I have been reading, there is gonna be a fourth movie in the current incarnation and it won't be Tarantino's movie. His movie seems like it will be a stand-alone or part of a reboot. It doesn't seem like anyone, including Simon Pegg is 100% sure of where any of this is headed.

As far as I'm concerned, he can stay the hell away from Star Trek.

I don't think he is the right fit for Trek but I like his movies for the most part so I would definitely check out what he does. I am skeptical it will ever actually happen though

It kind of feels like Michael Jordan playing baseball but I'd go see it.

I'm not against the new Trek movies, but I wasn't blown away by them either. I don't think they fully pulled off the magic of the original series - and I don't think any of the original cast movies did either. (I'm probably in the minority in thinking that part 4 came the closest to feeling like the original series most.)

I think Tarentino's best strength is deeply understanding the strenghts of movie genres. He also exploits aspects of genres that most filmmakers overlook. If he really ends up directing it - as planned - then I think we're in for a treat. It's too bad Simon Pegg said he's not co-writing though, because the idea of those two nerds working away on this sounded like a lot of fun.

All I want is for them to get back to actually seeking out new life and new civilizations...boldly going where no man has gone before.

Enough of the "Star Wars Lite" version.

YES. I compltely agree! Another reason I think Tarantino will have an interesting take on this is that he's said many times that he doesn't care about Star Wars. He's not beholden to that formula and I think he understands what can make Trek unique.

IF they actually let him do what he wants. Many times big corporations seem to SAY they want something different and then freak out when they get it - not to bring up Star Wars again, but Solo comes to mind.

I know when people think of Tarantino they think of violence and swearing, but when I think of his version of Trek I keep thinking about Carradine's Superman speech near the end of Kill Bill 2.

To me, it was a unique take on Superman that also completley worked with and respected Superman's established mythology. Personally, I would have rather seen THAT Superman movie instead of a lot of the other recent versions. If he has anything like that planned for Trek I am totally down!
