 Quentin
Tarantino is currently developing a new Star Trek film that he may or may not
direct and he has been given the green light to ignore J.J. Abrams’s Kelvin
timeline by Abrams’ himself. On a recent podcast Tarantino made it clear he
didn’t care for the new timeline: “I still don’t quite understand how – and J.J.
can’t explain it to me and my editor has tried to explain 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.
F–k that. I don’t like that. I want the whole series to have happened! It just
hasn’t happened yet. And Benedict Cumberbatch or whatever his name is; is not
Khan. Khan is Khan. And I told JJ, ‘I don’t understand this, I don’t like it’
and he said, ‘Ignore it! Nobody likes it! I don’t understand it! Do whatever you
want! If you want to do it the exact way it happened in the original series, it
can.'” Tarantino went on to say that the script that Paramount has seen is going
to be R-rated and when Simon Pegg says things about the film Pegg has no idea
what he is talking about. It’s basically going to be Pulp Fiction in space. He
has also teased that he plans to ‘retire’ from filmmaking after his tenth film
and that if he directed the film then Trek would be his last film. There is no
timetable in place for Tarantino’s take on the Star Trek universe.
