At the end of 2017, some Quentin Tarantino news piqued the interest of movie lovers. The filmmaker was not only making a Los Angeles period piece centered around the 1969 Manson family murders (now known to be this summers box-office hit Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), but he was also developing an R-rated Star Trek movie.

J.J. Abrams, who directed two films in the rebooted franchise 2009s Star Trek and 2013s Star Trek Into Darkness reportedly signed on to produce the Tarantino project, which Paramount Pictures rallied behind. They met with a few writers to take on his story, and landed on The Revenant scribe Mark L. Smith. But, nearly two years later, the only updated information weve been given is itll be like Pulp Fiction in space .

So, when speaking with Karl Urban about his new Amazon series The Boys, HuffPost asked the actor who plays Leonard Bones McCoy in Abrams adaptations if he had heard of anything moving forward at Paramount.

This is a project that I have no information about, really, he said. I havent read a script for it, but I understand the basic concept of it.

Previously, Urban called the idea bananas and was excited about the possibility of appearing in a Tarantino movie, as the director reportedly wants to use the actors from the reboot.

I think Quentin Tarantino doing that film would be phenomenal, Urban told HuffPost. He is definitely one of the most exciting filmmakers thats currently working and if he has an interest in making a Star Trek film, I think the studio would be insane not to let him do that.
