Quentin Tarantino‘s quirky “Star Trek” project, an allegedly R-Rated version of the beloved franchise, is quite real, even with Tarantino making a pitch to “Star Trek” director/producer J.J. Abrams and then the writer of “The Revenant” being hired.
Simon Pegg, when interviewed by Hey U Guys, isn't buying the R rating but he does believe the film could happen:
“I don’t think [Quentin Tarantino has] written an R rated Star Trek script,” Pegg stated. “I think what happened is he went to J.J. [Abrams] with an idea that he’s had for awhile. I remember he told us about it a long time ago. I think he told me and Edgar [Wright] about it a long time ago. He just put it to J.J. and I think J.J.’s just considering putting it into a writing room. We got an email just saying ‘Guess what? Guess who came into the office the other day?’ So I don’t know much about it other than it’s in the mix, so we’ll see.”
Warner Bros. has delayed "Gremlins 3" from its original November 19, 2027 release date to October 27, 2028, making it a Halloween-timed release. A teaser has also been released.
