Fans were surprised by the announcement of two Star Trek<\/em> films to come, and Simon Pegg<\/strong> explained how that happened, and also what he thinks about the Quentin Tarantino<\/strong> Star Trek.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I think it was a coincidence [that there will be two movies],” he said. “We were gearing up for Four and getting ready for that and then Quentin strolled into Bad Robot<\/em> one day and said ‘listen to this.’ It was just really interesting and I think it just got out and so everyone started talking about it. And also, Star Trek<\/em> is kind of, with Discovery<\/em> and stuff, it’s in the public conscious. It never left it, really. It’s entering its second fifty years. I think it’s great that it’s being talked about so much.”<\/p>\n

So what about Tarantino Trek? “I know as much as you do on that,” said Pegg. “I’m fascinated by the idea. I know for a fact that he is very passionate about Star Trek<\/em>. He has very strong opinions on it and he loves it. He doesn’t want to tear it down. I think everyone is like ‘oh it’s going to be like this. It’s going to be Pulp Fiction<\/em> in space.’ I wouldn’t worry about that. I think it will be really interesting take on it, sure, but he’s not going to just recycle Star Trek<\/em>. As a fan of Star Trek<\/em>, I would be excited.”<\/p>\n

Pegg said that he has not “read the [Tarantino] treatment yet, but I might be able to in the next couple of weeks, so I’m excited about that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
