Quentin Tarantino’s Hard R Star Trek Movie Explained
Tarantino’s Star Trek was an homage to TOS' “A Piece of the Action”.
Quentin Tarantino ’s pitch for aStar Trekfilmtook divine guidance fromStar Trek : The Original Seriesseason 2 , episode 17 , " A Piece of the Action . " This classicTrekepisode follows Captain James T. Kirk ( William Shatner ) and Mr. Spock ( Leonard Nimoy ) as they masquerade as gangsters on a planet whose polish is based on the gangster cultivation of 1920s Chicago . While little information has been revealed about the playscript written based on Tarantino ’s idea , Mark L. Smith confirmed that it would have follow in the footsteps of Tarantino ’s other movies when it get to the motion picture ’s evaluation . Smith say :
" But I think his vision was just to go hard . It was a heavy R. It was go to be somePulp Fictionviolence . Not a wad of the speech communication , we carry through a couple thing for just special characters to kind of drop that into theStar Trekworld , but it was just really the uneasiness and the kind of that Tarantino flair , man , that he was bringing to it . It would have been cool . "
Since Quentin Tarantino first mentioned the thought of doing aStar Trekfilm , sports fan chemical reaction has been mixed . Tarantino ’s tendency to explore some of humanity ’s worst trait directly contrasts withStar Trek’soptimistic sight of humanity and its future tense , meaning his film would likely have been very different from any previousTrekouting . While the book for the moving picture is still out there , it seems improbable the film will ever get made . Paramount reportedly still wants to make a long - awaited subsequence to 2016’sStar Trek BeyondwithChris Pine ’s Captain Kirkand the rest of the cast , butStar Trek 4remains elusive .
