I think they are actually referring to the new sequel to Once Upon A Time….. Tarantino wrote the script but he handed it off to David Fincher to direct.

No,I mean the first trilogy, Peter Jackson filmed it all at once.
The main problem was Paramount waited 4 years from 2009 to 2013 to make a sequel.
They should have had a sequel by 2011, 2012 the latest.
I don't like the word but "normies" were talking about Star Trek, and a bunch of people got interested in more classic Trek after exposure to the 2009 movie.
Paramount squandered that.
Kelvin Trilogy made more than any Trek in theaters that came before.
I'd say Trek 2009 united the fanbase and brought in new fans that Hollywood has been chasing for a decade now.
The fault for the failure of the Kelvin Universe falls squarely on Paramount.
Peter Jackson was able to film The Lord of the Rings at the same time because he was producing an adaption of a book, so he already had the source material in place. Let's also not forget that he was in pre-production on the trilogy for a good five years before cameras even rolled, years which included a studio change, and a switch from three films, to two, then back to three.
You simply cannot apply LotR to the production of original films that aren't written as serialized installments of one story.

It did bring in new fans, no question -- but "united the fanbase"?
Speaking as someone who was watching very closely the entire time, "united" is a thing it assuredly did not do.
There was no reason to believe it would so initial reluctance with the money is understandable.
Maybe not here in this website but I meant from what I saw back in the day.
Bunch of my family and friends who never had much interest in Trek wanted to go see 2009 and invited me every time cuz I was the 'Trekkie' they knew best.
And later on I introduced them to other Trek and since then they've become quite big fans themselves.
Even if some older Trek fans didn't like the "This isn't your daddy's Trek" tagline I saw how genuinely excited fans were, specially on TrekMovie.com, who all loved the movie.
I still maintain they could have made Trek into something close to the MCU had Paramount been smart with it.
You can maintain all you want. I think they could have had a middle range cinematic universe if the writers hadn't sat on their rear ends debating about Khan and such.
