Phasers don't draw blood and any Tarantino film of course must include plenty of that.

 

They did in Star Trek 6 when the assassins boarded a Klingon ship in zero G and killed the chancellor. It must be a setting somewhere between stun and kill.

 

Or maybe the R rating will come from Spock getting to say the "N" word about 30 times.

 

Jake Sisko already said it in an episode of Deep Space Nine. Of course, that was done very tastefully.

I've heard a few rumors about Tarantino's pitch, and I'm getting the impression that CBS and Paramount are looking to re-integrate the property, so his story could involve time travel to resolve the schism in the timeline. I've heard him suggest that City on the Edge of Forever and Yesterday's Enterprise are episodes that he's drawn inspiration from.

 

This is something I'd love to see, and if he can pull it off, more power to him!

 

I'm not a fan of Tarantino's work historically; but recent comments have surprised me about his apparent knowlege and interest in the franchise. I've long believed that Star Trek needs an insider to get it right: someone that truly knows and loves the property. So if Tarantino is really a card carrying member of the tribe, I'm going to be willing to give him a chance.

 

I mean, It can't be worse than Discovery.

 

Unless it gets an R. I don’t care if it’s Tarantino. You don’t do G rated Saw so why bother making Star Trek R? That’s just a slap in the face to many generations of Trekkies.

 

Don’t know about it being “a slap in the face” but yeah there’s no reason for Trek to be R.

 

It doesn’t really bother me though. I’d decide whether to see it or not from the trailers, not the rating.

Art should not be confined to any ratings. Why can't you have an r-rated Star Trek movie? I think it might be awesome to see more blood and gore in Star Trek. After all, most of Star Trek up to now has had fight scenes that were very fake looking. Also, do you really believe that no one will ever use swear words in the future? Let him make the movie before we judge it.

Of course you can have an R-rated Trek. But as I said, I don’t see much of a reason for it. Any failings Trek movies have had weren’t related to their ratings. I highly doubt an R-rating would’ve helped any of the Trek flicks that were crap.

But again, it wouldn’t really bother me if a Trek movie were R though.

 

As for swearing in the future...the exact wordage will change but of course there will be some. I’m saying I don’t expect 23rd century Scotty swearing like 21st century Sam Jackson...BUT I can imagine Tarantino shoehorning something like that in.

 

Truly, it comes down to me not liking anything Tarantino’s done (a movie of his in its entirety that is) in twenty years.

The rating has nothing to do with it, but Tarantino just naturally writes r-rated and if he can deliver a top notch script then we are going to probably have the best Star Trek movie yet. I didn't care much for Tarantino's last film but I still think he has some great scripts left in him. Edited by snowdogged

Tarantino has a very juvenile approach to film making in my opinion. It's as if his target audience is fifteen year old boys. Also, along those same lines it's as though he makes films for the sole purpose of seeing what he can get away with and sometimes how gratuitous he can be. I can almost hear him saying to himself things like "this is going to be cool. Nobody is going to see this coming." I just don't see how his film making ability and style would translate well to a Star Trek movie. Edited by New_World_Man

I would totally disagree with your remark about having a juvenile approach, at least when it comes to what I consider to be his best scripts/films. Movies like True Romance, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained and Inglorious Bastards had great dialogue and story lines in them. Some of the best scenes in movie making history come from those movies in my opinion.

I am out. Done. Out out out.

 

 

 

I am glad to see you have changed your mind and are now enthusiastic about the idea of Tarantino doing Star Trek.

 

PS -- Don't forget to change your vote in the poll.
