William Shatner Doesn't Get the Fuss Over Tarantino's R-Rated Star Trek

William Shatner doesn’t get why everybody is freaking out overQuentin Tarantino’s R-rated Star Trek. Tarantino recently revealed the long-talked about script for the franchise is complete and it is indeed R-rated. There’s really no other way the director could take on the project with his original voice, which equates to a decent amount of foul language and some pretty outlandish storylines.
