As preproduction is ramping up on STAR TREK 4, there is still much talk on Tarantino's TREK sequel. Unfortunately, it seems that the film will not get behind cameras for a while.

After pitching a story that floored J,J. Abrams and Bad Robot, surprising the film industry as a whole, the Tarantino produced Star Trek film has been moving steadily. Currently deep in the writing stages, the project is being worked on in the background while S.J. Clarkson's Star Trek 4, aiming for a 2020 release, remains the priority. This begs the question, when will Tarantino's sequel hit theaters? According to franchise veteran Simon Pegg, it will not be for a while.

Star Trek Beyond writer and actor Simon Pegg has been making press rounds as of late due to his involvement in Mission: Impossible - Fallout. It is no surprise that the talent has been tackled with questions regarding the future of Star Trek as a whole. Regarding the Tarantino produced sequel Pegg had a very rational answer, citing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for its slow movement. Furthermore, Pegg does worry whether the cast will be fit enough to pull it off once Tarantino is available.

[Quentin] came into Bad Robot and pitched it and it’s been put in the bank. I think he had us in mind when he came up with the idea; he likes the new cast. But he’s going to be so busy with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that I can’t see him doing it for five or six years, by which time we might be too old anyway.


Interestingly, if Tarantino intents to direct the film, which has not been confirmed, it will be his tenth feat as a director. The creative has been very outspoken of his retirement plans, stating that his tenth feature will be his last. Would this be a fitting sendoff for the auteur?

It seems they're moving forward with Star Trek 4 anyways, with or without Tarantino, as it looks to be filming as early as January 2019 if all goes well.

S.J. Clarkson (Jessica Jones, Defenders) is rumored to direct, and there are reportedly 3 scripts in the works:

1) One from Patrick McKay & John Payne (uncredited writers on Star Trek: Beyond)
2) One from Simon Pegg & Doug Jung (who co-wrote Star Trek: Beyond)

and then the 3rd script from Tarantino, which I think they've moved on from already.

Danai Gurira (The Walking Dead, Black Panther) is rumored to be the villain, although she may have dropped out since she recently signed on to be in Godzilla v. Kong (2020).

@L0RDbuckethead -

From what I heard, Paramount planned to do 2 more Trek films with the current cast.
They would do one more PG-13 film and the "R-rated" Tarantino written and directed
5th film which could reset the whole timeline and franchise.

After Star Trek Beyond, it was revealed that Paramount only had Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto
under contract for a fourth film. It makes economic sense that if the studio has to resign everybody else,
they make it a two-picture deal so they can spread the big bump in pay over two films.

I heard that Danai Gurira was up for a role in Trek 4, but I had also heard she was but one of a couple
of A-List female actors on a short list for that villain role.

Doesn’t that just put it three years after Star Trek 4 anyway? Or would they not even start working on it for five years?

I thought this Tarantino pitch was going to be Star Trek 4. If it's meant to be the fifth one, then no duh it's going to take at least 5 years.

It will not be his would-be 10th. Those 10 films he is referring to are part of a connected world that he holds together. He even has said multiple times that after that film, which he at one point suggested might be an Australian-set 1920's Bonnie & Clyde type movie, it doesn't necessarily mean that he wouldn't direct any more films.

Actually, I hope the next two Trek films are made from the perspective of a veteran Captain Kirk and
Enterprise crew. They had done the "Young Kirk" earning the chair in one film, having to re-earn that chair in the next, and having to figure out if he wants to keep the chair in a third.

I would like to see this group of actors approach the role like the TOS series actors did the films in the 80's.
They didn't have to prove anything to anybody. They were the best of Star Fleet, they loved their jobs and
they loved each other.
