Simon Pegg, who starred in the 2009 J.J. Abrams-directed Star Trek movie, says Quentin Tarantino's previously planned take on the franchise was nothing short of wild.

"That was what we call in the business batshit crazy," Pegg said during a panel at Fan Expo in Boston (via Collider). "It was everything you would expect a Quentin Tarantino Star Trek script to be.

Continued Pegg: "I think it would have been such an incredible sort of curio to see Star Trek through his lens. I don’t know how it would have gone over with the fans, but it certainly would have been an interesting thing."
