It will be either totally awesome or total crap. There's no room for a "meh" movie here...

I am totally into that!
We will get something special.

Interesting... It'll never happen (at least a ST movie helmed by Tarantino himself), but I'd be curious to know more about his pitch, which itself might make it into a ST movie after going through 76 rewrites and 27 screenwriters.

no, leave Star Trek to its original creators, Orville while partly comedy is made by many original creators of older Star Treks and is a way better and pleasant to watch then Abrams or Discovery Star Treks.

Tarantino hates disney, if he did this, considering that he imposes a 10 movie limit on himself. He would have second intentions. Probably to steal part of the SW audience.
Working on a script is more likely, he did a few and whenever the movie sucks he disowns it.

What do you mean a 10 movie limit? Like he's going to direct 10 movies and call it quits? Hasn't he already gone past that?

he ignores his debut title as a filmmaker, and Kill bill was meant to be one film
He actually made it clear in Hateful 8, he literally wrote "Tarantino's 8th film". Even he acknowledges its confusing
Quits from The movie industry, he intends to write plays. probably adapt reservoir dogs and hateful 8 as well

LMAO that's cheating!
You can call LOTR a single 12 hour movie (extended editions) by that measure!
Although admittedly that should have been true for the hobbit...

So, this could have a small chance to be the second half-decent Star Trek movie in existence?

I like, nearly, all Quentin Tarantino Movies....
...but not all the new(er) Action Movies (like ST)
So i am not sure if this would give a big shit or very good stuff.
I think he should make his own stuff that he can write how he needs it and not jump into a "finished" story/world that give him not much ways to develop.

well, the new star trek piece of shit movies can only get better so let's see what happens.

I saw something about this early today.
I did really enjoy the reboot, and its two sequels were decent action flicks. A Tarantino Star Trek movie would be fantastic. I wonder if it will be set in the existing film universe, or something standalone.

I would be down for another David Lynch sci fi movie instead. I think Dune is really entertaining, and that comes from a guy who likes the book.

The books (which take up half a bookshelf by themselves) were pretty good. If Star Wars didn't exist as a franchise, I would have hopes of a movie series based on them. The market is too crowded now though, and the movie while decent for the time, couldn't stand up to Star Wars' better visuals and simpler (read: more comprehensible) story :/

My opinion of Tarantino has soured. So I might just pass.

Oh god, if Tarantino does direct a Star Trek movie that means it will count to his countdown of ten movies before quitting the movie industry.
Only 10 movies?

I dunno... for some strange reason I am visualizing Kurt Russell as a geriatric Kirk with long hair and sideburns, 70's inspired technology on the Enterprise, "Shaft"-styled theme music, fast ships (mostly for getaways), and lots of violence, swearing and angry women. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I doubt he will actually direct it, but if he can get it off the ground with a story idea, I'd be happy with that.
It wasn't looking likely that we'd get another Trek film, at least in the short term, but hopefully this will turn that around.

Just go watch "Pulp Empire", the fan edit. Pulp Fiction + Star Wars would be a close feel to Pulp Fiction + Star Trek.

"Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is known for his love of genre movies, and now it looks like a Star Trek film may be in his future. Deadline is reporting that Tarantino is working with producer J.J. Abrams on his own original idea for a Trek film, which he could potentially direct.
According to the report, Tarantino pitched his idea to Abrams, and the current plan is for the pair to assemble a writer’s room of screenwriters who will then develop the concept into a screenplay. Handing off writing duties would appear to be a good fit for both filmmakers given their current schedules: Tarantino is about to start shooting his next movie, a drama set in Los Angeles around the time of the Charles Manson murders, while Abrams is diving into Star Wars: Episode IX.
Tackling an intellectual property like Star Trek would be a marked shift for Tarantino. The writer-director has stayed away from film franchises throughout his career, focusing instead on developing his own idiosyncratic material. However, he has served as a for-hire director in television before, helming episodes of both ER and CSI.
Sprawling film franchises have become so omnipresent in Hollywood that there’s often a sense of dismay expressed when young, upcoming filmmakers with unique voices are thrown into the blockbuster system. The argument is that the aesthetic and tone of a franchise like Marvel or Star Wars is so overpowering that it would drown out, and perhaps hamper the development of, a given filmmaker’s individualistic voice. In the case of Tarantino, however, it’s hard to think of a writer-director with more of a specific, honed sensibility. The excitement about this particular project wouldn’t be the impact that Trek would have on Tarantino; it’s what Tarantino would have on Trek."
