After the unwatchable Star Trek Beyond, the least-profitable entry in the latest trilogy, it seemed like the franchise had crashed and burned -- again. But there's finally some good news on the horizon for Captain Kirk and his crew: director J.J. Abrams, who oversaw 2009's Star Trek and 2013's Star Trek Into Darkness, has teamed up with fellow director and producer Quentin Tarantino to develop concepts for the next movie in the series. Tarantino, who grew up as a fan of the original television series, believes that Star Trek has plenty of potential and has stated that the original show's only weaknesses were its low budget and fast-paced shooting schedule. Tarantino's trademark gritty violence may be a welcome change in direction from Beyond's cheesy turn into screwball comedy.
It may take a while for the project to hit theaters though, since Abrams, who initially left Star Trek in order to direct The Force Awakens, is currently working on the upcoming Star Wars Episode XI.
It's worth noting that the studio has given Tarantino the freedom to include R-rated content. Can you imagine The Hateful Eight in space? Sounds great as long as that big-headed bastard doesn't try to sneak the N-word in.
