Chris Pine Never Read Quentin Tarantino's R-Rated Star Trek Script

screenrant.com:

Chris Pine reveals that he never got the chance to read Quentin Tarantino's R-rated Star Trek script but is very curious for what it entailed. Pine stars in the rebooted Star Trek film franchise as James T. Kirk, the hot-headed young protagonist who must find it within himself to become the Starfleet captain he's known for in the future. The Emmy nominee debuted in the role of Kirk for 2008's Star Trek and carried it through both of its sequels, Star Trek Into Darkness and Beyond, receiving generally favorable reviews in each for his performance.

Development on a fourth Star Trek movie has languished in development hell for over five years, with Pine and Spock actor Zachary Quinto having been confirmed to be contracted for another installment and plans for Chris Hemsworth to reprise his role as Kirk's father from the first film. Multiple incarnations of the project have emerged over the years, including those set outside of J.J. Abrams' Kelvin timeline. One such version was a pitch from Quentin Tarantino for an R-rated Star Trek movie, though it's now unclear how far along the project got.
