Quentin Tarantino‘s quirky “Star Trek” project, an allegedly R-Rated version of the beloved franchise, is quite real, even with Tarantino making a pitch to “Star Trek” director/producer J.J. Abrams and then the writer of “The Revenant” being hired.
Simon Pegg, when interviewed by Hey U Guys, isn't buying the R rating but he does believe the film could happen:
“I don’t think [Quentin Tarantino has] written an R rated Star Trek script,” Pegg stated. “I think what happened is he went to J.J. [Abrams] with an idea that he’s had for awhile. I remember he told us about it a long time ago. I think he told me and Edgar [Wright] about it a long time ago. He just put it to J.J. and I think J.J.’s just considering putting it into a writing room. We got an email just saying ‘Guess what? Guess who came into the office the other day?’ So I don’t know much about it other than it’s in the mix, so we’ll see.”
