Big Mean Jerk posted:https://twitter.com/ScottWamplerBMD/status/989302430369136640 Man, this would be great in my book. Give the current JJ series at least one more chance to realize its potential while giving Tarantino's film license to do its own thing as a spin-off or one-off or revisit to the prime universe or something. EDIT: My money is on them aping Star Wars and doing a "Rogue One" or "Solo" thing. Drink-Mix Man fucked around with this message at 05:02 on Apr 26, 2018 |

So what are the chances Tarantino Trek takes place in the TNG/DS9/VOY era or later? 0.1%? 0.01%?

I'm of multiple minds about the Tarantino film. On the one hand I would assume he would want the creative freedom to do a full reboot and set it in his own continuity. On the other hand, I could see it turning out he's a Seth Macfarlane level TNG supernerd who would make a continuity perfect film in canon. But if he did try to do that, would it just increase the chances of it getting messed up more, like DISCO did, taking design liberties? Of course, since his involvement may really just be the pitch, and he's not writing it or even probably directing it, that could be all moot.

It may be because I'm not the biggest Tarantino fan but whenever someone mentions him potentially writing/directing/whatever a Star Trek movie I cringe. It's like someone saying they put a slice of chocolate cake on a pepperoni pizza before eating it.

If nothing else, Tarantino is very technically competent as a filmmaker and I would be really interested to see him make a big-budget sci-fi film for that alone. If it ends up as weird or as bad of an adaptation as say, Lynch’s Dune, then so what, Dune owns.

If we are being honest, I don't think Tarantino would "get" what Star Trek is about and granted Star Trek can be about a great many tings but I worry with him that it would be his throw back to ultra gore and focus way too much on like Uhura's feet.

I’d be fine with a Tarantino-directed film, but not one written by him. He’s no stranger to pseudo-philosophical dialogue, but it’s a totally different monster from the Trek wheelhouse.

The JJTrek character I care most about is the monochrome chick from Beyond, and I can't even remember her name. That makes me think that the original timeline must have had something like Beyond, actually, considering Space Idris had been brooding on that planet since before the Nemo thing. Maybe it happened later, to a different ship, and wasn't a big deal anymore.

I mean the Romulan War pretty obviously hosed people up to the point that 100 years later there were still space racists on the Enterprise blaming Spock for it once they found out what Romulans look like.

I started caring a little about Kirk in Beyond because that's when they stopped writing him as a juvenile little prick. Also sort of cared about Pike. That character was totally wasted.

Imagine the will and vision of a director like Tarantino directing the likes of Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner! The words! The ego checks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K8j55V3Lvw I'm very amused by his impression of Tarantino besides.

They should totally have Data again in a movie but cgi him like Tarkin. The uncanny valley stuff and looking slightly inhuman would actually work for the character!

I thought the new Star Trek movies were pretty good except for the Khan's blood reviving Kirk thing. A more cerebral Trek movie wouldn't have made it out of Hollywood intact. It would just end up as Insurrection, Take Two.

I want a freaky translucent Data, where you can see his endoskeleton and mysterious bulky mechanisms. Sure, he's supposed to naturally develop real emotions but I want a completely unnerving android which makes everyone uneasy. Tarantino, give me my heart's desire. I'm cool with Data having sexy feet which are randomly in frame all the time, if that's what it takes.

Paramount has hired S.J. Clarkson to direct Star Trek 4. She would be the franchise's first female director. To clarify, this is the sequel to Star Trek Beyond and not the Tarantino thing. It seems like she has mostly done TV work so far. http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/04/26/star-trek-4-will-reportedly-have-franchises-first-female-director

Her directing is good, but even modern prestige TV is different from feature films. I'm hopeful and also generally pleased at all the news lately

Data's backup in B4 eventually asserts itself and takes over B4's body, but the body is prototype pre-alpha trash, so Data eventually decides to upload himself into the Enterprise computer instead. And that's how you get Brent Spiner as the new computer voice. Maybe a CG Data head can show up on monitors sometimes, like Holly in Red Dwarf, but with worse jokes.

Paramount's just pisspants because Avengers did $1.5B, not recognizing that that was the end product of several films' worth of buildup.
