There's rumour it is based on a TNG episode called 'Yesterdays Enterprise',  I dont know whether The Kilngons were involved in that one.

The Klingons were involved in that episode.

The episode portrays the Enterprise entering a dark alternate reality in which the Federation never made peace with the Klingons (instead becoming mired in a prolonged and brutal war with them), and Federation starships are primarily vessels of war.

I'd be totally on board with a Tarantino written ST film. He's a master of character and dialogue. I'm less sure about him Directing it because as much as I love his films, he's shown no evidence of ever being prepared to drop all his stylistic trademarks for any project. Then again he knows his film history and knows his genre movies.

I've been listening to his interviews where he talks about the newer Star Trek movies and what he liked/didn't like about them.  He obviously has a huge reverence for the original series so I think while he inevitably would mix things up a bit I get the feeling he would stay true to the spirit of the original. Still equal parts bewildered and excited by the thought of a QT directed Star Trek movie though  :) :huh:

I'm not generally a fan of inserting CGI shots into old practicalFX movies but this is pretty good:

I have seen the full edit, while I did not agree with some of the narrative choices, the new FX are outstanding throughout the edit. :)

Isn’t this the guy who rotoscoped Jar Jar out of Episode 1 many moons ago? If so, that was impressive work in an edit that narratively was a complete mess. 

I’m not a huge Trek fan, but I tend to like Trek to be more cerebral and less shiny action spectacle. I have no idea what Tarantino would do, but he doesn’t strike me as someone who would do a big action tentpole. Coincidentally I stumbled upon this article this morning for an old TNG episode I loved.

Boy, this sums up my feelings exactly! I enjoy a lot of Star Trek, and of course Tarantino is brilliant. But I can't see the things being melded together in any way that makes sense. It'll be the Tuvix of cinema.  :D

Still, I can understand their desire to shake things up. The most recent movie seemed to win back a lot of the hardcore fans, but the general audience lost interest again. It could be really fascinating to see where this goes.

I still feel bad for Tarantino for proposing a take on Casino Royale that ultimately the producers rejected, but then went ahead with the movie anyway. The resulting film was excellent nonetheless, but I'll always wonder what his take would have been. Oddly, in the interviews I read, Tarantino wasn't going for an R rating with that one; he actually wanted less action and more dialogue, which might have only gotten the film a PG rating instead of PG-13, which possibly scared the producers off.

Of course, the Bond producers have a history of staying away from interesting choices. I would have enjoyed seeing Spielberg's Bond film, which probably would have been Moonraker, as well as John Woo's Bond film, which would have been GoldenEye. Mind you, I'm still glad we got Raiders of the Lost Ark since Spielberg didn't do James Bond. But as it is, I've still never seen the two Bond films I mentioned. I might have if there were more interesting directors attached to them.

Sorry for going on for two paragraphs about James Bond. I'm not trying to derail the thread. My point is, "I'd like to see what really talented directors can do with franchise films." Edgar Wright's Ant-Man and Lord & Miller's Solo are other examples of that. Let's hope Tarantino's Star Trek actually comes to fruition!

^^ When it used the Enterprise Bosun's whistle for a Kill Bill reference I nearly gave the video a standing ovation :D . Thanks for sharing Bob.

"The greatest Star Trek EVER made."

As entertaining as I find the current Discovery series, I keep thinking that majority of themes Disco are exploring, Deep Space Nine did first and did significantly better.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I found it quite diverting.
