During a panel at Fan Expo Boston on Saturday (via Collider ), Pegg, who starred as Scotty in the rebooted “Star Trek” trilogy, said he got a breakdown of the film from J.J. Abrams and producer Lindsey Weber, and that it was just as wild as any of Tarantino’s previous works.

Way back in the 2010s, there was a rumor that we were going to get an R-rated Star Trek written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It was such a weird and wonderful idea.
