What kept Quentin Tarantino from boldly going where he had never gone before as a filmmaker?
The expansive Kill Bill saga begins with white text against a black screen that reads "Revenge is a dish best served cold - Old Klingon Proverb" In one sentence, the Kill Bill saga defines its vengeance-driven focus, but it also establishes that writer/director Quentin Tarantino is a dyed in the wool Trekkie.
The significance of the property to the studio was further underscored by then-Paramount Pictures head Jim Gianopulos in a New York Times profile in January 2019. This prolific figure used the notion of a Tarantino Star Trek film as an example of the kind of distinctive auteur-driven projects that Paramount wanted to make a priority in the future.
Despite how much importance was riding on Tarantino’s Star Trek, both for this individual franchise and Paramount Pictures as a studio, there was always uncertainty hovering over the idea of this proposed project ever existing. It wasn’t that Tarantino’s love for Star Trek was in doubt or even that Paramount Pictures wouldn’t want to make the movie.
