The idea was to create a sort of Pulp Fiction in space. The film would be an earthbound story set in a 1930’s gangster setting. The pitch was inspired by the episode A Piece of the Action were the Enterprise crew visit a planet that has a culture like 1920’s gangster culture from earth.
The plot would have also included time travel elements. The film would have been r rated and might have possibly been his tenth and final film. In January 2020 it was conformed that Tarantino was no longer attached to project stating that they might make the film without him, and he would be happy to give them notes whilst they are making the film.
