Quentin Tarantino Definitively Says No to R-Rated Star Trek Movie

As a fervent admirer of Quentin Tarantino‘s illustrious filmography, it is both enchanting and disheartening to learn about his elusive final film, especially when it comes to the rumored Star Trek project. Tarantino, a veritable auteur of our times, has left an indelible mark on cinema with masterpieces like Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.


It’s been widely speculated that filmmaker Quentin Tarantino might create a Star Trek movie, adding an unexpected twist to his already impressive body of work. However, according to Comic Book reports, Tarantino has no plans to move forward with the supposed Star Trek project.

Quentin Tarantino has firmly stated that he intends to retire from movie-making following his tenth film, ruling out any possibility of joining the cherished Star Trek series. In a conversation on Bill Maher’s podcast, Tarantino discussed how these rumors managed to persist without his explicit confirmation, with fans running wild with speculation about this hypothetical production.

1. “I don’t see it happening. The truth about it has been obscured with so much false information.”

Due to his absence from platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, he was unable to refute any false information about him that might have spread. He also mentioned that even if information is reported as rumor, it can easily gain popularity.

“The thing is, they can say anything. My point being, though, they write it in a show biz magazine and then that gets picked up in 140 pieces because I’m not shutting that down because I’m not connected.”

He compared the Star Trek rumors to those of The Movie Critic, which was his rumored tenth and final film, but ended up being scrapped.

Screenwriter Mark L. Smith, most recognized as a collaborator on the movie “The Revenant“, shares that he has conversed with Quentin Tarantino regarding the project, hinting at a past association. During an interview with Collider, he discussed the script lying on Tarantino’s desk and expressed it would have been “an exceptional Star Trek film, not due to my writing, but rather for what Tarantino intended to accomplish with it.”

One possible explanation for Tarantino potentially leaving the project was when he started to worry that it might be his tenth and last movie.

“He expressed concern about the possibility of Star Trek being his final film, questioning if that’s how he wanted to conclude his career. I believe this sentiment was a significant hurdle for him.”

As a cinephile, it’s hard not to acknowledge the impact of Quentin Tarantino, one of the leading filmmakers of our time. His cinematic journey started back in 1992 with “Reservoir Dogs,” followed by the iconic “Pulp Fiction” that fetched him his initial Academy Award. Then came the sensational “Kill Bill” series. He went on to win four more Oscars for “Inglourious Basterds,” “Django Unchained,” “The Hateful Eight,” and more recently, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

His career seems to be nearing its end following the release of his tenth feature movie, although he considers “Kill Bill: Volume 1” and “Kill Bill: Volume 2” as a single film. The chatter about his potential last movie has been swirling since the premiere of “Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood” in 2019, with “The Movie Critic” being referred to as an unproduced masterpiece by Sony. He’s expressed concerns about making a disappointing final film, leaving fans questioning if he’ll ever release his last movie.

From 2019 onwards, Quentin Tarantino has written a novel based on his latest movie, titled “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: A Novel“. In the year 2021, he released “Cinema Speculation“, a non-fiction work delving into ’70s American films that inspired him. As for his upcoming film, no specifics have been announced yet, but given his past works, it’s expected to receive accolades whenever Tarantino decides to produce and finalize it.
