TARANTINO


Is planning a Star Trek movie
Surely you must think it is a bad idea

reply

I think it would be an awesome one off, a real deconstruction of Trek and the genre in general.

And don't call me Shirley!

Maybe Truthtalker was actually walking to Shirley? :P

I haven't seen anything by Tarantino for a long while. Has he mellowed at all in his age, or does he just see potential for his type of "edge" in the higher production values and generational update we've seen in Star Trek lately?

reply

There's still 'edge' in his works PS but it's much more nuanced and requiring a bit of thinking as to how it is edgy and not just controversially topical in its initial display.

There's always plenty more under the veneer with Tarantino but the hook is generally for the masses, something which has decreased and become more refined, in my opinion, as he's crafted more movies.

I'm up for it just to see what comes out of it,it has to be better than Voyager or STD, rehashing isn't a good thing, deconstruction is.

Perhaps Shirley will chime in at some point 😉

agree.

"And don't call me Shirley!"

I think it''s from Airplane. Leslie Nielsen though.

why? he is doing it together with JJ, who has done awesome some far. i think it is a bad idea if q gets through with his manson family film idea, which luckily seems to have changed to only have said group involved on the side.

If he gets Picard in it somehow, even better.

Bad idea, probably
Wants an R rating? Doesn't sound like Trek to me.
His favorite ep is Yesterday's Enterprise?
