Simon Pegg leaves some light on what Quentin Tarantino's immense “Star Trek” film could look like.
During a panel on the Fan Expo Boston on Saturday (via Collider), Pegg, who played in the newly launched “Star Trek” trilogy as Scotty, said that he had received a breakdown of the film by JJ Abrams and producer Lindsey Weber and it was just as wild as the earlier works by Tarantino.
“That was what we call in the business batons hit,” he said. “It was all that would be expected that a Quentin Tarantino 'Star Trek' script would be.”
Pegg said he enjoyed the world of “Star Trek” through the eyes of the director “Pulp Fiction”, but die -hard fans of the franchise may have felt different.
“I think it would be such an incredible kind of Kurio with” Star Trek “through his objective,” added Pegg. “I don't know how it would have been with fans, but it would certainly have been an interesting thing.”
At the end of 2017 it was announced that the producer of Paramount and “Star Trek” Abram's Tarantinos Pitch had accepted for a new film in the franchise and that Mark L. Smith, screenwriter “The Revenant”, would work on the script. In the end, however, the film was never made.
Smith said Collider in 2023 that it was great hanging in the production of the film that Tarantino was concerned that “Star Trek” would be his last film.
“Quentin and I went back and forth, he would do a few things on it, and then he was worried about the number, his kind of unofficial number of films,” said Smith. “I remember that we have spoken and he says:” If I can only wrap my head for the idea that “Star Trek” could be my last film, the last thing I have ever done. Is it the way I want to end it? “And I think that was the bump that he could never convey, so the script is still sitting on his desk.”
The film mainly took place on an earth-like planet in a gangster gangstar from the 1930s and apparently was inspired by the 17th episode of the second season of “Star Trek: The Original Series” entitled “A piece of Action”. In the episode, which was originally broadcast in 1968, the Enterprise Crew ends up on a planet with a gangster culture from the 1920s.
