Pure marketing piffle.

Paramount would never let a Hard R Trek get made. Not only is it the completely wrong tone for Trek (even if you rate the JJ Abrams movies) but it would seriously harm ticket sales as kids and young teens would be prohibited from going to the theater to see it. Imagine Kirk and Spock sitting around, smoking weed, talking about their favorite obscure 2200s films while holding knives to each other's nutsacks.

They only started talking about Tarantino directing a Star Trek movie in order to build hype for the new Trek shows that are of dubious quality.

I also don't think Captain Picard needs to drop the N-word while gazing at alien feet tbh
