Tarentino is too violent. Abrams is too lens flare-y. The new Klingons are ridiculous. The old Klingons are ridiculous. Chris Pine as Kirk is the worst. Captain Archer is the worst. Captain Janeway is the worst. Shatner's hairpiece is the worst. Seriously after all the complaining you'd think people would be willing to give a new director a shot. Tarentino films are hardly more violent than most action movies; the only difference is that he doesn't gloss over or glorify it. He also has a gift for dialogue and character driven plots. I'd want to find out more before fully supporting the effort, but I wouldn't instantly rule out a Tarantino Trek. I beg to differ, SHatner's hairpiece would have made an awesome captain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Yeah, as a matter of fact Yaphet from Orville is rumored to be one of Shatner's old toupees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? It works on The Orville. RE: Shatner's "hair" -- I thought that was just a leftover tribble he adopted (or that adopted him). RE: referring to Quentin Tarantino as "Q" -- I thought at first you were talking about Q from ST:TNG.

Spence Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Well, for my two cents. I think a Tarantino "Star Trek" would fail miserably. I just don't think he could do the Federation or Star Fleet well in a movie. But a Klingon Movie would be right down his alley. A movie treatment of something like the Khitomer Massacre with no humans or Star Fleet involvement would be awesome. I'd prefer TNG/DS9 Klingons for it. But a Tarantino Klingon Movie would be violently awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternaugh Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Unfortunately, I could easily see the pitch as the crew travel through the Guardian and kill Hitler. Call it Star Trek: Basterds, if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdamnhero Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 So it's Tarantino's story idea, but he apparently realizes his um, unique writing style isn't really suited for Trek. So they're bringing in another screenwriter, the guys from Revenant (which I haven't seen but is supposed to be great), but Tarantino's still directing. OK, that sounds somewhat less like a horrific train wreck in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
