Karl Urban on Quentin Tarantino's Star Trek Film

We all thought that Quentin Trantino's next project would be the Star Trek movie that he's developing with J.J. Abrams, but it looks like he'd rather work on his Hollywood-based film starring Brad Pitt and Leondardo DiCaprio. Karl Urban, who plays Dr. McCoy in the Trek Kelvin timeline, opens up about Tarantno's involvement,

Talking to LRM, Urban says:

"Here's the thing - they're in the really early stages of development at this time. Quentin is about to direct his Hollywood film with Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. You're talking about a film after film. Ultimately, at the end of the day, the ball's in Paramount's court. Hopefully, they'll green light another Star Trek movie. If they do it, then it'll be a lot of fun."

Though some people regarded Star Trek Beyond as an improvement over Into Darkness, the film still underperformed in the box office, and now the status of Trek 4 is currently a mystery.

Urban is very positive about Tarantino's involvement though, and is excited at the thought of a Trek movie directed by Tarantino:

"I think it's a really exciting idea. He is a dynamic filmmaker. Even if I wasn't in the Star Trek movie, I would go to a Star Trek movie by Quentin Tarantino. That's for sure."

No announcement has been made for Star Trek 4 but Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Once Up in Hollywood could possibly come out sometime in 2019.
