Quentin Tarantino’s Star Trek/Star Trek 4
Speaking with the Edmonton Journal, Simon Pegg stated he “can’t see” Quentin Tarantino making his near-mythic Star Trek movie in the next six years.
I can’t see him doing it for five or six years, by which time we might be too old anyway.
Pegg also offered an update on S.J. Clarkson’s relatively more immediate Star Trek 4.
I’ve met with S.J. and she’s fizzing with ideas and she has the right attitude. She’s reverent, but she’s not slavish. In terms of the story, I have a vague knowledge, but it’s nothing I can talk about. I’m also doing something that is separate to that.

DISCUSSION
So, yesterday’s Guardians of the Galaxy cast letter blew up a bit, and it’s not hard to find a couple dozen articles out there covering it, so I won’t be posting all of them.
However, NBC has a short video covering how Cernovich used some old fashioned weaponized outrage to get Gunn fired. Nothing real new here, but still kind of interesting.

Piers Morgan, of all people, put together a decent article on how Disney should rehire Gunn. I don’t agree with the Barr comparison, but it’s a good enough read. Sadly, it’s better than what I’ve seen somewhere else. *cough* Maybe io9 should hire him and Kareem Abdul Jabaar for a sort of Even Stephven series of articles? I can’t really think of a funny pun name for them, though. I also don’t know what the hell they would talk about besides the weather. So... maybe Gizmodo would be a better fit. heh
