Quentin Tarantino has a protracted, lengthy historical past of speaking about films he desires to make that by no means materialize. Remember his “Vega Brothers” film, belatedly uniting John Travolta’s Vincent, from Pulp Fiction, with Michael Madsen’s Vic/Mr. Brown, from Reservoir Dogs? He’s been speaking about doing his personal Star Trek for just a few years now and, to his credit score, he’s nonetheless speaking about it. The different day he instructed Cinema Blend he’s even contemplating making it his ultimate movie. And in a wide-ranging interview with Deadline for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he went into somewhat extra depth.

For one factor — and he’s talked about this earlier than — a Quentin Tarantino Star Trek could be rated R. If that feels like going too far, he cited a sure current hit that would encourage him to transcend a PG or perhaps a PG-13.

“Deadpool confirmed that you would be able to rethink this stuff, do them differently,” Tarantino mentioned. “So actually, even earlier than JJ [Abrams] knew what the thought was, his feeling was, if it desires to be an R ranking, nice. If it desires to be The Wild Bunch in house, nice.”
