Quentin Tarantino has plans to direct a Star Trek movie, and his only demand is that it is R rated.

Deadline reported on Monday that Tarantino pitched an R-rated Star Trek movie to Paramount. On Thursday, Deadline reported that the rumored project is moving forward at a rapid speed, and they're already selecting a screenwriter.

JJ Abrams, who has directed two Star Trek films, is helping Tarantino and will be a producer. The movie likely won't come out for a few years, but we can't hide our excitement. A Star Trek movie from Tarantino — one of the most ambitious directors of all time — is an exciting concept, and we can't wait to see the finished product.

Tarantino approached Paramount with the idea

According to Deadline, Tarantino approached Paramount about directing a Star Trek movie, Tarantino-style. This typically means blood, violence, cursing, witty dialogue, and a very long running time. 

Tarantino worked with Miramax and The Weinstein Company on all his previous films, but is working with other studios after the allegations of sexual harassment and assault against long-time collaborator Harvey Weinstein surfaced in October. 

 

Tarantino will direct his movie based on the Manson Family first

This means we likely won't see his Star Trek movie for at least a few years. 

His project about the Manson Family has the working title of "Helter Skelter," and will be released by Sony.

This will be Tarantino's first dive into a franchise — he usually writes and directs screenplays for original stories.

"Jackie Brown" (1997) was based on a novel, but every other movie he's made was an original screenplay.

But Tarantino isn't going into the franchise world completely inexperienced: in the past he's directed episodes of "CSI" and "ER."
