Quentin Tarantino is known for his love of genre films but the director has steered clear of gigantic film franchises. However, that might change soon. Deadline reports that Tarantino pitched to producer J.J. Abrams his original idea for a Star Trek movie, which he could possibly direct. The report says the pair plan to assemble screenwriters to develop the concept into a screenplay.
The move makes sense as both filmmakers have big projects they’re working on: Tarantino is set to start shooting his next film, which is a drama set in Los Angeles around the time of the Charles Manson murders, while Abrams is working on Star Wars: Episode IX. With the idea basically a concept at this point, we can’t even say what it’ll be about. But we’re wondering if a Tarantino-led Trek film would be something yoou’d like to see?
