NEWS: Quentin Tarantino Pitch & Paramount Assembling Movie Writers' Room

According to Discovery, yes!

 

These might give a small window of what Tarantino Trek might be like...

Is this the movie where the Bajoran slave raids Tarak Nor and kills Dukat?

 

Does Trek have much of a younger market? Whenever I've been to Trek films or conventions, there have been very few young people around.

I've always thought it was aimed at more of an adult audience.

 

In a way, that's been Trek's problem for awhile. It's been unable to attract a younger market. Paramount may now have decided to give up trying to do so.

Or they may just not have learned their lesson from their R-rated Baywatch movie this year...

 

I think the biggest wake-up call for the entire genre industry was the unequivocal success of Deadpool. It surprised everyone despite its R-rating and tangential association to the X-Men. Adding to that the obvious pot-shots that movie took at its parent franchise and Wolverine in particular, propelled it further into public acclaim. Movies that sometimes take sacred cows and grill them medium rare can have a tendency to oddly resonate with people in a way that conventional films won't. This was one of those times. Anti-heroes seem to have built-in momentum that the squeaky-clean Captain America types simply don't possess in their DNA. If this new Trek movie goes in this direction, it has the potential to change the franchise forever - in a good way. I really hope the suits at Paramount recognize this and let the production take its course organically without being their usual meddlesome selves.

 

YES!!! Please let this happen. I know they might have Pine and that cast on contract for more, but wouldn't it be great to take the TREK movies into another timeline for a change? It could re-boot some of the great TNG or DS9 characters / storylines.

 

Tarantino may be a fan but his whole philosophy and style doesn't jive with Trek at all.

I am not enthusiastic about this.

 

I don't know. Captain America is pretty successful right now.

 

If Taratino was such a Star Trek fan then he would produce movies that are similar to Star Trek and not the junk that he produces.

His movies promote recreational cocaine use as being part of the cool in crowd not to mention foul mouthed and murderous rampaging thugs.

Star Trek has never been about murdering people, promoting drug use or foul mouthed people who thinks it cool to swear every other word.

 

Queue the histrionics! You do know he directed one of the best episodes of ER where none of that was the case, right? He's certainly proven to be capable of not going over the top; he just generally chooses to be more hard core most of the time, as is his style. He's professional enough to know what's off limits.

 

Because he can only do one thing?

A good director knows how to work with a studio and within their limits.

 

Junk?
Pulp Fiction changed movies as we know it. You seriously need a reality check when it comes to both QT's abilities as a film maker and to how influential he has been and still is!

 

Sir Patrick has gone from no to maybe to yes. If QT does want to do Yesterday's Enterprise then Make it So!

 

It was a terrible film that had a contrived plot that was designed to get the two Captains together and kill off all memory of TOS by the man (Rick Berman) who wanted his version of ST to thrive. It failed miserably and nearly killed the franchise.

More importantly it was directed by a tv director not the great Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino will not have the same bias that Berman had. He will not have the budget and time constraints that Carson had and most importantly he is Quentin Tarantino. Really going out on a limb here, but my money says he makes a better film than Generations

 

Yeah, that is setting the bar pretty low.

 

One thing I noted is that he heavily alludes to B-movies because he is a big fan of them, especially of those from the Philippines.

 

Perhaps instead of all this speculation about how he'll "redo" a Star Trek concept or make a Star Trek movie like Pulp Fiction...maybe...just maybe...we'll get something unique and original?

I don't know...call me crazy...but that's just me.

 

I'm not a huge fan of Star Trek Generations, but this is a bit of an overstatement. It simply isn't true.
