Twitter Reacts To The News of Quentin Tarantino's Upcoming STAR TREK Movie

The news that Oscar-winning writer-director Quentin Tarantino is developing a Star Trek movie for Paramount has both Trekkies and Tarantino fans in shock. While fans are split on whether or not it's a good idea, people of varying opinions haven't been shy about sharing their thoughts.

Some are handling the news pretty well...

There's a chance (and stay with me here) that 60s-obsessed Tarantino has a better handle on Star Trek than anyone that's made Trek movies and TV since 2009.

Me: "A Tarantino Star Trek will probably be awful."

Patrick Stewart: "I want to Picard it up in a Tarantino Star Trek."

Tarantino Star Trek movie. Do you want anyone other than Kurt Russell to play Captain Kirk? Because I want Kurt Russell to play Captain Kirk.

I hope the movie is released under the official title "Quentin Tarantino’s R-Rated Star Trek"

Can’t wait for this Tarantino Star Trek, I’ve always wanted to know Klingon racial slurs and what green alien babe feet looked like.

Mark L. Smith is an interesting choice for Tarantino's STAR TREK. It'll feel weird watching a movie that Tarantino directed but didn't write...

The only way I see Tarantino working in Star Trek is if they introduce the Mirror Mirror Universe. Other than that he's kinda opposite to Star Trek. Either way, do not want. @WikipediaBrown @MrSundayMovies #WeeklyPlanetPod

Look, I've made jokes about this Tarantino STAR TREK movie, but honestly, this is what big IP franchises need to do to be treated as art and not creativity-flavored product. Let artists take a crack at the formulas, and let them be themselves as they do it.
