While the previous three Star Trek movies were rated PG-13, this Star Trek story would fall into R-rated territory, as we’ve come to expect from Tarantino’s cinematic offerings.
More recently, Mark L. Smith said that he and Tarantino had fun specifically writing Kirk.
So while Chris Pine still isn’t entirely sure if he’ll be stepping back into Captain Kirk’s shoes for a fourth time, the prospect of starring in a Star Trek movie that comes from Quentin Tarantino’s mind sounds appealing to him.
Tarantino confirmed back in July 2019 that his Star Trek movie would follow the main characters from the Kelvin-era movies, with the story taking place in a 1920s/‘30s gangster setting (thus being inspired by the Original Series episode “A Piece of the Action”).
