Quentin Tarantino’s Star Trek Film Would Have Been A Game-Changer

Zoe Saldana believes that Quentin Tarantino’s planned Star Trek project would have been a “game-changer” for the franchise.

In an interview with Jakes Takes on YouTube, Saldana admitted she was very keen on the idea of Tarantino being in the director’s chair on the USS Enterprise.

However, it’s a vision we are unlikely to ever see on screen.

After being in the hands of a few directors, the film is now a go with Wandavision director Matt Shakman on board to direct.

Saldana revealed that she thought the project was going to happen, and was very keen for it to happen:

I was like, ‘Oh my god. Gamechanger. If I get to work with Quentin Tarantino on Star Trek,’ whatever… I think it was a scheduling issue, but I never got a chance to read a page of that script! I would have loved to, and I just have a feeling that it would have been like a bloodbath. A bloodbath in space!

Tarantino films are well known for their stylized violence.

So to have that in a Star Trek movie would have been an utterly fascinating prospect.

Those darn scheduling issues!
