Tarantino Potentially Set To Direct R-rated “Star Trek” Reboot

For every sci-fi nerd and movie geek whose wanted Tarantino to direct a film set in a galaxy far far away, the news that he pitched a “Star Trek” film to J.J. Abrams this past week is extremely exciting, if not unexpected. The current plan, which would have Tarantino direct the film, but not write it, is unusual for a couple of reasons. For starters, Tarantino almost never directs projects he doesn’t write himself, and other than a handful of television episodes, has shied away from franchises. And perhaps most surprising, in contrast to the historically more upbeat television series and films, Tarantino’s “Star trek” film would be rated R! Few details have been released so far, but a gritty R-rated “Star Trek” with Tarantino dialogue might just be the masterpiece I never knew I wanted, but now I can’t stop thinking about.

One of the most terrifying sentences I’ve ever heard in my life is ‘we’ve given the script to John Carpenter’. I crawled around for three days thinking ‘oh my god’ but we got John Carpenter’s seal of approval. He approved it and that’s all I need.” He continued, “You never quite know [if it’s done] but I

Filming For ‘Halloween’ Has Been Delayed

Fans are thrilled about getting a new sequel in the Halloween franchise and the fact that Jamie Lee Curtis is returning to reprise her role as Laurie Strode just makes it sweeter. The latest news is that filming has been delayed until mid-January. The reason? Casting is taking longer than expected. While much of the cast is being kept under wraps, we do know that Judy Greer (Jurassic World) has entered negotiations to play a key role, that of Laurie Strode’s daughter, Karen Strode. n the new film, “Laurie Strode comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.” It sounds as if the film, directed by David Gordon Green, will act as if every film of the franchise beyond the original Halloween never existed.
