Quentin Tarantino and JJ Abrams Team Up For 'Star Trek' Movie (hollywoodreporter.com)
Quentin Tarantino reportedly has a pitch for a Star Trek film, and he has shared his vision with J.J. Abrams. According to Hollywood Reporter, "Tarantino and Abrams have plans to bring together a writers room to develop a film at Star Trek studio Paramount. Tarantino has an eye to direct the potential project." From the report: Abrams rebooted the franchise with 2009's Star Trek and also helmed 2013's Star Trek Into Darkness, before pivoting to Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He remains a producer on the Star Trek franchise even as he readies 2019's Star Wars: Episode IX. Paramount previously stated it was developing a fourth Star Trek film to star Chris Hemsworth as Captain Kirk's (Chris Pine) father, but no director has been attached and it's unclear where this Tarantino development leaves the project. The latest installment, Justin Lin's Star Trek Beyond (2016), was well-liked by critics but earned just $343.4 million worldwide, the lowest in the rebooted universe. In a 2015 Nerdist podcast interview, Tarantino revealed that he would be more likely to direct a Star Trek film over a Star Wars pic, noting he was a big fan of the original series.
Say "Dilithium" one more god damned time!
Star Trek is very liberal. You can count on Chekov being arrested in the movie and accused of meddling in electing the next president of the Federation.
I am 100% behind Quentin Tarantino directing Star Trek if it means Samuel L. Jackson will be playing the captain of the Enterprise with a jheri curl.

Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians and believed by fools.
You know what they call a Big Mac on Rigel?

Here are some lines of dialogue I want to hear from this movie:
Being 1: "You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese on Qonos?"
Being 2: "They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese?"
Being 1: "No man, they have a different system of measurement in the Klingon Empire, they use kellicams to measure distance and shit."
Being 2: "Then what do they call it?"
Being 1: "It's a loQ cheb with cheese, only they don't eat it with cheese. Klingons don't like cheese because it doesn't move."
Being 2: "LoQ cheb with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?"
Being 1: "A Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they serve it with a side of gagh."
What can I say? I am a simple man. But at least I was able to figure out how to get a Slashdot account.

It's total chaos, it's unwatchable, and it's time to just admit it: It's dead, Jim. It's all artificially Star Trek-flavored, complete with trans-fats, FD&C Red #2, and NutraSweet, and a mandatory carcinogen warning label if sold in California.
