Two new Star Trek movies are being developed by Paramount. Paramount head Jim Gianopulos made the announcement while in Las Vegas, but he did not provide any other details.

It was first reported in December that Quentin Tarantino was working on a Star Trek movie along with J.J Abrams. The Pulp Fiction director first pitched the idea to Abrams and the two then went to Paramount.

Tarantino reportedly wants the script to be R-rated, and he may even direct it if he likes the way it turns out. For now, he is focusing on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which will allow the studio time to work on the script.

It appears that Tarantino’s Star Trek movie and Star Trek 4 will be in the works at the same time. S.J Clarkson will direct Star Trek 4, making franchise history as the first female director to ever work on the series.
