Quentin Tarantino directing Star Trek 4?!?!

And it's going to be R-rated? WTF?

Zachary Quinto Supports R-Rating of Quentin Tarantino's Star Trek

What is Star Trek thinking? I'm disgusted and devastated. Gene Roddenberry would be rolling over in his grave.

 

[PF9]

Star Trek has really gone in a mature direction. A number of episodes of Discovery are rated TV-MA.

 

[Fone Bone]

This is different. Tarantino's films are known to engage in debauchery and depravity which completely goes against everything Roddenberry believed in about humanity. The MA episodes of Discovery were mature, but not over the top. What Tarantino wants to do instead is destroy everything that makes Star Trek Star Trek.

 

[Freddy]

Remember, at the moment, it has not been confirmed whenever Tarantino will actually direct the movie. He only came up with a story idea, presented it to J. J. Abrams/Paramount and Mark L. Smith (the writer of The Revenant) is currently turning it into a full screenplay. Naturally, it is assumed that Tarantino will also direct, but considering that to date he has never directed a movie not written by himself, we just have to wait and see.

But honestly, I'm open to this. Star Trek movies could use a major shake-up, since the last great Star Trek movie was First Contact, which was 22 years ago! Insurrection is the worst out of all of them, Nemesis (with help from Enterprise) killed the franchise, both 09 and Into Darkness are less racist Michael Bay movies and Beoynd was entertaining, but nothing noteworthy. Maybe Tarantino is an injection of new energy and fresh ideas that the franchise seriously needs. Granted, if it was up to me to choose some well-known filmmaker to make the next movie, I would go with someone like Duncan Jones or Alex Garland, who would make a hard science-fiction movie, but Tarantino is self-admitted trekkie, so he hopefully will respect the property.

 

[PF9]

Honestly I was hoping his Trek movie would be Tarantino's shot at a PG-13 movie as a change of pace, allowing a wider audience to see what he can do. All he has directed have been R-rated movies. Guess this will continue to be the case.

That's what I had hoped too. But Tarantino never fails to live down to my lowest expectations.

Imagine the outrage from parents if QT was going to direct an R-rated Pokemon movie.

 

[Yojimbo]

Talks with Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth over their contracts aren't going well.

 

[Fone Bone]

They should just cancel the movie. Either make Beyond the last Kelvin Timeline movie, or start over from scratch with a new Kelvin Next Gen cast. They need to get away from whatever crap Taratino had planned for the franchise.

Would not suprise me. They ruined Star Trek with a mature rating, They ruined Marvel NF series with a mature rating and soon they ruined Teen Titans "Titans" series with more mature garbage.

Again, just like I said in my previous post, Star Trek 4 (which will be directed by S. J. Clarkson) and Tarantino's Trek project are two seperate things, and at the moment we don't even know for sure whenever the latter will feature the kelvin cast or not.

Do we know for sure they are two separate things? Do you have a link to confirm that?

[PF9]

You know what's ironic about QT's R-rated Star Trek? The first Trek movie was originally rated G. Therefore, we will have had Trek movies on opposite ends of the rating spectrum (not counting NC-17 for obvious reasons).

 

[Fone Bone]

As far as I'm concerned the first movie was misrated. It contains swearing and pretty gruesome violence at points (such as the horrific transporter deaths). If it were released today is would get a pretty easy PG-13.

 

[Mandouga]

Well, it didn't. When the director's edition came out on DVD, it was re-rated PG.

 

[Fone Bone]

That was a few years ago. It would get a PG-13 if it were released in theaters today.

 

[Yojimbo]

Noah Hawley in talks to write and direct.

 

[PF9]

Why continue the reboot series when the movies and TV series will be under the same company again next month?

They are squandering a huge chance to launch a theatrical subseries that features all new characters.

 

[Freddy]

A fourth movie in the Kelvin timeline would probably be a huge flop. Fanbase didn't embrace the first two, each instalment made less money than the previous one and the general audience has moved on to other things. Not to mention, Discovery has been succesful enough to keep going, but not enough to raise the franchise's mainstream popularity.
