Simon Pegg Says Quentin Tarantino's Unmade STAR TREK Movie Was 'Batsh*t Crazy' — GeekTyrant
Simon Pegg has given fans a peek into the Quentin Tarantino Star Trek movie that never got made, and if his description is anything to go by, it would've been wild! Speaking at Fan Expo Boston (via Collider), Pegg revealed that J.J. Abrams and producer Lindsey Weber once shared the breakdown of Tarantino's pitch with him, and the idea was pure Tarantino energy set in the Star Trek universe. 'That was what we call in the business batshit crazy. It was everything you would expect a Quentin Tarantino Star Trek script to be.' Pegg admitted he would've loved to see the world of Star Trek through the Pulp Fiction director's lens, even if it might have divided the fanbase. 'I think it would have been such an incredible sort of curio to see Star Trek through his lens. I don't know how it would have gone over with the fans, but it certainly would have been an interesting thing.' Back in late 2017, Paramount and Star Trek producer Abrams accepted Tarantino's pitch, with Mark L. Smith ( The Revenant ) brought on board to write the screenplay. But the project stalled. In 2023, Smith revealed that the biggest obstacle was Tarantino himself, who was wrestling with the idea that Star Trek could be his final film. 'Quentin and I went back and forth, he was gonna do some stuff on it, and then he started worrying about the number, his kind of unofficial number of films. 'I remember we were talking, and he goes, 'If I can just wrap my head around the idea that Star Trek could be my last movie, the last thing I ever do. Is this how I want to end it?' And I think that was the bump he could never get across, so the script is still sitting there on his desk.' The movie's setting would have been a retro gangster-inspired world on an Earth-like planet in the 1930s, drawing influence from the Star Trek: The Original Series episode 'A Piece of the Action' where the Enterprise crew encounters a civilization steeped in 1920s mobster culture. Sadly, this crazy vision for Star Trek will remain one of Hollywood's great what-ifs. But somewhere, in Quentin Tarantino's office, sits the script that might have been.

Simon Pegg says Quentin Tarantino's planned 'Star Trek' movie was 'bats--- crazy'
"I don't know how it would have gone over with the fans, but it certainly would have been an interesting thing," he teased. We may never know if a Quentin Tarantino-led Star Trek film would boldly go where none had gone before, but Simon Pegg has an idea. Pegg — who played Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in all three films of the Star Trek reboot series: Star Trek (2009), Into Darkness (2013), and Beyond (2016) — didn't read the script for the proposed film, but heard a detailed description of it from producers Lindsey Weber and J.J. Abrams, he told Collider during a panel at the Fan Expo Boston over the weekend. "That was what we call in the business bats--- crazy," he said of his reaction to Tarantino's vision. "It was everything you would expect a Quentin Tarantino Star Trek script to be." He didn't provide further details on the specific plot points given to him, but did tease, "I think it would have been such an incredible sort of curio to see Star Trek through his lens. I don't know how it would have gone over with the fans, but it certainly would have been an interesting thing." Sci-fi fans first had their faces set to stunned in December 2017 when news broke that the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood helmer had come up with an idea for an R-rated Star Trek film, and that he also hoped to direct it. At the time, reports stated that screenwriters Mark L. Smith (The Revenant), Lindsey Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines), and Drew Pearce (Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation) were in the running to pen the script, with Smith as the apparent frontrunner. The plan was for Tarantino to direct. Smith later revealed that the idea would involve Captain Kirk and time travel and draw inspiration from classic gangster films. As of summer 2019, Tarantino told Empire that he still hoped to make the film, and that a script had been written, but he needed to weigh in on it. In 2020, Tarantino told Deadline that he believes "they might make that movie," but he would no longer direct it. The project has thus far failed to there are no positive updates about a possible Tarantino venture into the Star Trek cinematic landscape, Pegg did share at Fan Expo Boston that he has some reason to be optimistic that his corner of the Trek-verse might live long and prosper. The actor noted that Skydance founder David Ellison, who executive produced Beyond and Into Darkness, is now chairman and CEO of Paramount Skydance Corporation following the merger. "I'm hoping, now that David Ellison is now high up at Paramount," Pegg said, "now the merger's happened, and David's always been a big supporter of the Kelvin we'll get to make another one."
