Director Quentin Tarantino ("Once Upon A Time In Hollywood") confirmed writer Mark L. Smith's R-rated screenplay for Paramount's developing "Star Trek" feature has now been delivered to "Star Trek" producer JJ Abrams:
"The script has been written," said Tarantino, "and when I emerge, post-'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', we'll pick up talking about it again."
Tarantino is keen on 'time travel' stories including writer Harlan Ellison's "Star Trek" TV episode "City on the Edge of Forever", as well as the "Star Trek The Next Generation" episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" (1990), considering it to be the best of all the "Star Trek" stories set in the 24th century.
"...in 'Yesterday's Enterprise', the starship 'Enterprise Ncc-1701-d' encounters a rift in spacetime while on a routine mission. As they monitor the anomaly, the heavily damaged 'USS Enterprise-c', a ship believed to have been destroyed more than two decades earlier, emerges.
