Name a genre of film, and Quentin Tarantino is likely to have dabbled in it.

From martial arts to Poliziotteschi to Westerns, the director has conquered most types of movies, but could you imagine the 54-year-old taking on the Star Trek franchise?

Despite not delving into science fiction before in previous films, Tarantino has hinted that he would consider taking on the role of director for the Star Trek franchise.

Tarantino previously stated that he’d planned to make only two more movies before retiring from the film industry, but it seems that he just can’t keep away from that directors chair.




When asked by TMZ if he would consider directing a Star Trek movie, he said that it would be ‘worth having a meeting about,’ before also confirming that he will definitely only make two more films.

He had previously said that his aim with bowing out after two more movies was to leave on a high and remain one of the greatest filmmakers of all time – well, his actual words were: ‘Drop the mic. Boom. Tell everybody. “Match that shit,”’ but you get the gist.

So, could one of his last films be Star Trek? Well, he’s already said he plans on directing a ‘Bonnie and Clyde-ish’ crime drama and is also due to take on a currently untitled Manson Family project which, according to IMDB is due out in 2019, so that retirement party would have to wait if he wants to get aboard the Starship Enterprise too.

He had previously mentioned on the Nerdist podcast in 2015 that he would be more inclined to direct a Star Trek film that a Star Wars one, but could this actually be a possibility?

We’re pretty sure a statement made whilst being chased through a hotel entrance can’t be taken as gospel, but one can’t help imagining what a Quentin Tarantino Star Trek collab look like…

Think of all the alien blood. So much alien blood…
