Simon then explained that he had heard 'Quentin was mad at' him and that he had not even read 'his treatment [of ‘Star Trek]'. He further added that he recently saw the director while he was promoting ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ and asked him if he was mad at him. Tarantino responded by saying that he wasn't mad at him at all and that the media had blown the whole thing out of proportion. He finally added that they 'had a good laugh about it.'

How did the feud start? 

The feud between the two artists started last year when Quentin Tarantino mentioned that he was annoyed at Simon Pegg for his remarks on his version of Star Trek. This remark was made in a Deadline interview and the director added -

He doesn’t know anything about what’s going on and he keeps making all these comments as if he knows about stuff... Well, look, it’s not going to be Pulp Fiction in space. Yes, it is! [laughs hard]. If I do it, that’s exactly what it’ll be. It’ll be Pulp Fiction in space.

The director had also added that he would make the movie any way he wanted and that Simon Pegg's opinions weren't that great. Recent reports mentioned that the actor never made any such comments and it was rather strange for Tarantino to be angry with Pegg.
