Simon Pegg says Quentin Tarantino’s idea for Star Trek would have been ‘crazy’
Star Trek actor reveals more details about Quentin Tarantino’s abandoned film
- Simon Pegg revealed that Quentin Tarantino's unmade Star Trek film would have been "bats*** crazy," fitting expectations for a Tarantino project.
- Pegg, who portrays Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, was given a detailed description of the R-rated script by JJ Abrams and producer Lindsey Weber, though he never read it.
- Tarantino successfully pitched the film in 2017 but later distanced himself from the project, which was never officially greenlit.
- Pegg previously indicated that the Star Trek film franchise might be over due to high production costs and lower box office returns compared to other major franchises.
- However, Pegg now expresses hope for another film following the merger between Paramount and Skydance, as Skydance founder David Ellison supports the Kelvin timeline.
