Those that expected Academy Award winner Quentin Tarantino to write and direct a Star Trek film are set to be disappointed after Taraninto’s latest interview. Tarantino told Consequence of Sound when talking about his future plans and whether a potential Star Trek film would count as one of the 10 movies he’s talked about making before retiring. Tarantino stated,
“I think I’m steering away from Star Trek, but I haven’t had an official conversation with those guys yet,”
In a strange way, it seems like this movie, Hollywood, would be my last. So, I’ve kind of taken the pressure off myself to make that last big voilà kind of statement. I mean to such a degree there was a moment when I was writing and went, ‘Should I do this now? Should I do something else? Is this the 10th one?’ No, no, don’t stop the planets from aligning, what are you, Galactus? If the Earth is saying do it, do it.”
Looks as though the next installment in the Stark Trek universe will be lead by someone other than Tarantino.
