Chris Pine is one of the actors in contention for a role in a remake of a 1987 sci-fi film.
Pine, along with Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves, are all under consideration for the role of Robocop.
Rumor has it that the actor best-known to Star Trek fans as the young Captain Kirk is the top candidate for the role.
When interviewing Chris Pine for The Captains documentary, William Shatner came up with a unique way of putting the shy Pine at ease.
The Captains, a documentary on the actors who have played Star Trek captains over the years on the Star Trek televised series, includes Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, Scott Bakula and Chris Pine.
Chris Pine is rumored to be in talks for another movie project, Mud.
If Pine joins Mud, he would be in the lead role of Mud, a fugitive from the law.
In Mud, two teenaged boys find Mud, and try to help the fugitive escape from an island located in the Mississippi River. If Pine signs, he would play Mud, who is described as a character that is both a “dangerous criminal” and a character “worthy of redemption.”
It’s early days yet for Mud, and TrekToday will update when more information becomes available.
For anxious fans waiting for news of Star Trek XII, a small bit of news gives hope about the film being completed on time as well as the hope that J.J. Abrams will return to direct.
Chris Pine will be appearing in a new Jack Ryan film and he is expected to begin work on it in January, which means he’ll need to be finished with his Star Trek work by then.
“I’m told the hope is to start production on the Ryan film sometime in January,” said Deadline‘s Mike Fleming. “J.J. Abrams is busy finishing and will be promoting Super 8, but then he’s expected to be back at the helm of the Star Trek sequel, which has Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof finishing the screenplay. That film has a June 29, 2012 release date. Pine would then move right into Jack Ryan.”
A film adaptation of the Akira Manga is being planned and a petition is being circulated to encourage Warner Bros. to include Asian-American actors.
According to a petition on Facebook, the eight actors that are thus far being considered for the roles of Tetsuo and Kaneda in Akira are all non-Asian-Americans.
Script issues and the need for Chris Pine to be available for Star Trek XII have delayed plans for a new Jack Ryan movie.
The Ryan picture, tentatively titled Moscow, was supposed to bring the Jack Ryan franchise back to life, but issues with finding a writer have caused the delay. Steve Zaillian, who wrote the 1994 Clear and Present Danger, was slated to rewrite the script, but has had second thoughts regarding the project. Paramount is now interviewing again for a writer for the project.
Recent news that Chris Pine allegedly posted on his Facebook account has proven to be false.
Multiple sources have informed TrekToday that not only does Pine not have a Facebook page, but that he is not to be found on Twitter or any other social networking site unlike several of his co-stars.
Chris Pine has let Star Trek fans know a small bit about what will happen to James T. Kirk in the next Trek film. Plus – Pine and Zoë Saldana meet Luna director.

Star Trek XI‘s Chris Pine will be voicing a character in the animated Rise of the Guardians, an adaptation of William Joyce‘s The Guardians of Childhood.
Pine will voice the lead role of Jack Frost. He will join other well-known actors such as Alex Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher and Jude Law.
Michelle Pfeiffer has signed to appear in Welcome to People, joining Chris Pine and others already cast in the film to be directed by Alex Kurtzman.
Welcome to People, scheduled to begin production next week, is the story of a struggling twenty-something man, played by Pine, who has to deal with family matters after the death of his estranged record producer father.
Pfeiffer will play the mother of Pine’s character.
Walking into an audition can end up deflating the ego of an actor, as Chris Pine found out during one memorable audition.
According to Pine, an actor has to be “born masochist.” “The audition room is one of the most awkward, uncomfortable places to be, period,” he said. “I don’t even know how producers do it, quite honestly.”
