Pegg obliquely referenced this other Star Trek film script on the red carpet at the Empire Awards on Sunday, noting that the Tarantino project “is sort of in the mix.” The other script “in the mix” is likely related the ‘Star Trek 4’ project that was announced in July 2016, which would see the return of Thor’s Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk, James T Kirk’s father from J.J. Abrams’ 2009 Star Trek.

That July 2016 announcement had named J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay as the writers of the next Star Trek film. However, a cryptic tweeted image sent by Simon Pegg in December 2016 hinted he may also be in the mix. The tweet was sent from the offices of Star Trek producer J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot production company, and showed Pegg and his his Star Trek Beyond co-writer Doug Jung at their laptops.

And in the Summer of 2017, actor Zachary Quinto also talked about how a script for a fourth Star Trek film set in the Kelvin-universe was being written at the time. And all of this was well before the project related to Quentin Tarantino’s pitch for a Star Trek film heated up in December 2017.
