Tarantino and Abrams to Do Next Trek Movie

If QT is working with Abrams then its going to be the Kelvin timeline surely.

 

While it's probable, there's also a good chance he might want to do his own thing ala the Nolan Batman films.

And don't call me Shirley.

 

Nolan had a credit for Man of Steel too, even though the DC continuity moving forward rendered his own Batman movies entirely separate.

 

I thought the last movie of Nolan's batman trilogy baited a Robin spin off/sequel so much, but it never happened.

 

Does it have to be???

 

I know it's something I want to see. I thought JJTrek was waaaay better than those TNG films, and I don't mind if JJ Abrams is open to hear what QT have in stored for movie goers. Whatever it may be; I doubt it'll be boring.

 

Me too. BIG Batman fan

Think Nolan said he wanted to leave trilogy as is at that point or along those lines

 

We shall find out lol

I've read QT is a TOS fan, so would think he'd lean that way, but only want great Trek

 

I'm not sure there was ever any serious thought to picking up on that thread. I think the idea was just to end the trilogy with the suggestion that the IDEA of Batman would live on even after Bruce retired. And to throw in a cute little "Easter Egg" with regards to the Robin of the comics.

 

I love Tarantino and I actually think he would do a great job making a Trek film, I doubt it would include the cursing/ slurs and over the top violence that is in his other films. However I really hope he doesn't remake one of the episodes, it would be a waste, we already have "yesterday's enterprise" and "city on the edge of forever" give us something new please.

 

Whilst I imagine it'll be a continuation of the previous three films, given that Stewart's expressed interest, I think it'd be a great shame if they didn't take him up on it. Whilst I could see the studio being reluctant as it was Nemesis' disappointing performance which played a role in them taking the reboot avenue, Stewart's still a huge star and Nemesis was sixteen years ago.

 

...and has zero marketability.

 

Nothing confirmed, but QT did say in that Nerdist podcast that he likes the JJverse cast. And if the movie goes ahead, JJ's Bad Robot are producing it.

 

What complicates things is that Tarantino is on record saying he doesn't and would never shoot in digital, he would also likely not shoot with green screens. Since this is the standard for sci-fi films now a days and Tarantino has a track record of shooting historical pieces, a period time-travel piece like a movie version of "The City on the Edge of Forever" makes sense. More sense than a film version of the TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise", both of which where mentioned by Tarantino in that podcast.

 

It depends on what Paramount wants as well.

 

Not gonna lie, after recent DSC following up on events in Enterprise, I wouldn't be surprised if the next Trek movie directly follows up on events in Nemesis.

Star Trek: We Will Make You Like Our Franchise Killers

 

Considering he's never done a big sci-fi/fantasy film like Star Trek, it would be very interesting to know what he has in mind for the production special effects wise.

He hates CGI, but for this type of movie significant amounts of CGI seems unavoidable.

I don't thinking shooting on film would be an issue. It's a minor cost increase relative to the project's overall budget.

I say bring on the practical effects! Keep the the CGI to an absolute minimum. It would give the movie a different look and feel compared to it's contemporaries.

As good as modern CGI is, it still doesn't feel right when it's heavily relied up. It allows for near limitless possibilities visually, but modern filmmakers can't help but abuse it. Practical effects are limiting, but sometimes limitation is a good thing.

 

They could get riff a storyline off the first JJ Abrams film, and the Countdown prequel comic specifically. Get Eric Bana back as Nero, and have scenes set in the 24th Century battling Picard (to divert attention away from Spock in the Jellyfish), before picking up some threads from that in the alternate 23rd Century. Something further goes wrong - throwing the Enterprise E back in time too, so they arrive 30 years after Spock, Nero and the Narada.

 

That would be interesting - going abit Back to The Future 2 on ST09

 

What also makes this whole scenario unlikely for me is that QT is known for directing his own screenplays, in fact part of the appeal for his fan base is going to see a QT directed and written movie. With the exception of a few shorts, he's written every film he's directed, even some TV episodes. It's not Quentin-like to direct someone else's screenplay. He has, however, had writer collaborators. He would probably need one if he did a Star Trek movie since I don't think he's that steeped in the language/mythology of Trek.
