Tarantino intended to bring a “Pulp Fiction” vibe to “Star Trek” with an idea that was a largely earthbound story set in a 1930s gangster setting. Tarantino’s pitch appeared to take inspiration from “A Piece of the Action,” the 17th episode of the second season of “Star Trek: The Original Series.” The installment, which aired in 1968, followed the Enterprise crew as they visit a planet with an Earth-like 1920s gangster culture.

Hmm... As much as I would like to see him involved I think this idea is pretty derivative.

yeah. The attraction would have been to see what Quentin Tarantino would do with Star Trek.

Apparently he would copy an old TOS episode...

Yeah no interest in a gangster movie with a title of Star Trek.

It would have been far more interesting in doing let's say Errand of Mercey. And it would have been right up his alley too.
