Zachary Quinto was on Sirius’ Radio Andy show talking upcoming Trek movies. A script for Star Trek four has reportedly been approved, but there’s still a long way to go before filming commences, but hopefully will begin before too long. Filming could start next year with the hopes of release for sometime in 2020.
Does his use of “we” mean that Tarantino’s Trek movie takes place in JJ Abrams’ Kelvin universe?
When asked about the other Trek movie in the works, Quinto either made a slip of the tongue or alluded to what we’re gonna see. Quinto was asked about the other Trek movie in the pipeline, the much speculated upon Quentin Tarantino Trek movie. Quinto said that since Tarantino was busy with another project, they’d do Star Trek 4 now.

There have been a lot of rumors but little in the way of details in terms of his Trek movie. He’s said in previous interviews that he could be interested in making a standalone movie based on the events of TNG’s “Yesterday’s Enterprise.”

That episode obviously didn’t feature any of the TOS crew. This could mean that Tarantino’s project is much different than his earlier idea. This could also mean that Quinto merely misspoke based on a lack of information. And nobody from the Kelvin universe Enterprise has anything to do with the upcoming project and that nobody has had the heart to tell Zachary Quinto yet.
