Quentin Tarantino's "Star Trek" movie project has roped in "The Revenant" screenwriter Mark L Smith to write the script.
Tarantino and J J Abrams will produce and Tarantino may direct the Paramount Pictures project, reported Variety.
News of the duo working on the R-rated project first emerged earlier this month. Details of the plot have remained under wraps.

Justin Lin directed "Star Trek Beyond" in 2016.
