Multiple ideas and filmmakers have been considered, including [...] an R-rated Star Trek movie from Pulp Fiction director Quentin Tarantino.

Ew. Keep that weirdo foot fetishist far away from all the wholesome alien characters. Talk about wrong vibes.

    I would actually be very interested in seeing a Quentin Tarantino Star Trek film… But not as an official Star Trek film. Just as, sort of, an experiment.

    orville is controlled by mcfarlane, and hes been having problems with which network will fund the next season, plus many actors dint like how it was so far in between season, it became too unaffordable to live near the orville set.(Pallacki in rosenbaums interview)

    Hey now, I enjoy many of Tarantino's movies. But I wholeheartedly agree that he'd be an awful pick to write and/or direct a Star Trek movie.

    I will 100% admit to bias against anything Tarantino because of his defending Polanski's statutory rape and contributing to Weinstein not being held accountable for assaulting Uma Thurman and Mira Sorvina, Tarantino's own girlfriend at the time, and others. It would also not shock me in the least if sexual or physical assault allegations come out about him directly, there are already verbal assault accusations. Anyone who says a 13-year old "wanted it" when they're raped by their boss is a half step away from doing similar themselves.

    "Judge the art, not the artist" type arguments fall apart for me when the artist is still alive and profiting off their awfulness.

    I wasn't aware of all that. That's really shitty and gross of him to defend Polinski and Weinstein. How tf was he not canceled during the "woke" cancel wave of the mid-2010s?

    Because he wasn't accused of doing things himself. And if I recall the verbal assault was against people of any gender, not just women.

    You'd be shocked and disgusted at the number of famous actors and directors who stood up for Polinski back in the day. Not even that far back in the day; he's received several lifetime achievement awards since running away from the charges, and film awards as recently as 2019.

    he’d be an awful pick to write and/or direct a Star Trek movie.

    That franchise is so stale this would have been a great experiment.

    I don't disagree, but I struggle to see Tarantino doing high sci-fi like that very well. He's a master at creating engrossing, gripping dialogue scenes. But what do I know, maybe he'd have done a great job in the end 🤷‍♂️
