Tarantino Still Not Committed To Star Trek

Now I am long on the record saying Quentin Tarantino will not direct a Star Trek film. He will happily take a writer and producer credit but he will not use his last directing slot before his long promised 10 and done retirement on a Trek film. Paramount wants him to direct. The result is a now 3 year or so wait. Recently Tarantino was asked about his future plans, despite reporting elsewhere to the contrary, he really has not changed his position which comes down still thinking about it. At most can say he finally admitted he was leaning to the "no" side of things.

“I might be steering away from it, but we’ll see. I haven’t completely decided, or talked to anyone involved. Nothing is official.”

“In a strange way, it seems like this movie, Hollywood, would be my last. So, I’ve kind of taken the pressure off myself to make that last big voilà kind of statement. I mean to such a degree there was a moment when I was writing and went, ‘Should I do this now? Should I do something else? Is this the 10th one?’ No, no, don’t stop the planets from aligning, what are you, Galactus? If the Earth is saying do it, do it.”

In the meantime, Paramount decided to hedge their bets Noah Hawley to begin writing the script to then direct.
