Actress Olivia Wilde (House) joins Welcome to People, written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Star Trek XI), and Jody Lambert. The film will mark Kurtzman’s directorial debut.
Wilde joins Star Trek XI‘s Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks in the film, scheduled to begin production later this month in L.A.
Chris Pine was interviewed recently about his work on the recently-released Unstoppable, but he took time out to answer a question about Star Trek XII.
No one expects any details to come out this early, and Pine didn’t “know anything,” but he did know that there is plenty of enthusiasm for the movie by those involved in it.
Chris Pine has his own fandom and they even have a name, they are known as the “Pine Nuts.”
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Pine talked about his fans, some of whom were in the audience for the show. “I think it’s because my last name is maybe, it just makes for a good … they’re called the ‘Pine Nuts,’” he told Kimmel, when asked about the origin of the title.
“You know, it’s very flattering that anyone actually cares about what I’m doing and takes the time to check out what I’m [doing],” said Pine. He waved to the group of fans seated in the audience.
Rosario Dawson, currently starring in Unstoppable along with Chris Pine and Denzel Washington, would like a part, even a small part, in the next Star Trek film.
The actress, a big Trekkie, is lobbying on Twitter for a role. “I love J.J. Abrams, and I’ve got a petition on Twitter about [how] maybe I could be in the next movie, like a Klingon or something,” said Dawson. “I could just make a noise or speak some Klingon. I would be happy, I would be very satisfied.”
Chris Pine, Star Trek XI‘s Captain Kirk, is one of a handful of “hot, young Hollywood lights” who are on tap to replace old guard box office stars.
Pine, who can be seen on the cover of the second weekly edition of the Hollywood Reporter, is one of a new “A-list” which includes Taylor Lautner, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Jeremy Renner, Shia LaBeouf, Taylor Kitsch, Sam Worthington and another Star Trek XI actor, Chris Hemsworth.
Coming from show biz parents, Chris Pine received some valuable advice from his mother when it came to acting.
Acting, like any other profession, is a job and even though there are days when it’s hard to put forth one’s best effort, it’s better to do so according to Pine to avoid seeing the results of a bad day on film.
Chris Pine, Star Trek XI‘s Captain Kirk, is still trying to deal with his Hollywood success.
It has been a busy time for Pine. In 2009 he had the lead role in Star Trek XI. Then comes Unstoppable, due out November 12, where Pine has teamed up with Denzel Washington. Further down the road is This Means War, where Pine will play CIA analyst Jack Ryan, and Star Trek XII.
The physical demands of the theater proved to be rather painful for Chris Pine, who is trying to recover from his work on the Lieutenant of Inishmore.
Pine played Padraic, a hard-boiled terrorist, in the play which ran from July 11th through August 8th, but the role took a toll on his body.
A new rumor is floating about and it concerns a role for Star Trek XI‘s Chris Pine.
According to the rumor, Pine is one of the possibilities to be cast as the lead in The Flash.
Although he planned to play sports, Chris Pine discovered that acting was his real passion.
With a family genealogy of actors, it was no surprise that acting called to Pine. “My grandmother was an actress too,” said Pine. “In the thirties and forties she was under contract with Universal Studios. Crazy credits, lots of them. My dad was also under contract with Universal Studios. And my first film was shot on the same stage they both worked on at Universal. Crazy, right?”
Last month, TrekToday reported on Alex Kurtzman‘s first film directing job, Welcome to People; and now word comes that Chris Pine is in talks for the lead role in the movie.
Welcome to People was written by Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Jody Lambert, and is the story “of a struggling twenty-something man who, after flying home to L.A. for the funeral of his estranged record-producer father, discovers that the will stipulates that he must deliver $150,000 in cash to a 30-year-old alcoholic sister he never knew existed, and her troubled twelve-year-old son. Determined to keep the money to solve his own problems, he’s nonetheless fascinated by his unknown kin and makes contact with the two without revealing who he really is.”
Pine is currently filming FOX’s This Means War and will next appear in November in the Fox thriller Unstoppable.
Tom Hardy, best-known to Trek fans as Shinzon in 2002′s Star Trek: Nemesis, will be replacing Sam Worthington in This Means War.
Hardy will play one of two spies who wages black-ops warfare on each other when they both fall for the same girl (Reese Witherspoon). The other spy will be played by another Star Trek alum, Chris Pine.
This Means War is expected to be released in 2011.
Although he seems to be doing quite well as an actor, Chris Pine was more interested in sports when he was younger.
Some actors know from childhood that they want to act, but for Pine, he didn’t discover acting until he went to college and got involved in theater. “It satisfied everything I enjoyed about using your mind and being in front of people and the charge of that,” he said.
Chris Pine is hoping for a little more character development in the next Star Trek movie, including romance.
In a recent interview, Pine spoke about the sequel, and admitted that he didn’t know when shooting would begin. “I don’t know,” he said, when asked. “I haven’t heard. I’m always the last person to find out. It’s sometime next year I know. I don’t know if it’s January.”
Starting this weekend, Christopher Pine (James T. Kirk) will be appearing in The Lieutenant of Irishmore, a dark comedy playing at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. Speaking to OC Register to promote the play, Pine said that his Trek role has allowed him to take on a wide variety of interesting roles:
“I’ve been really blessed from Star Trek to get more opportunities than I had previously in my career. And I just wait for the good material. I’ve been lucky in that I’ve gotten to play on the really big stage with [Denzel Washington] and Tony Scott [Pine will star in the upcoming Scott film Unstoppable with Washington]. Counter that with these theater productions, which are a whole different thing. I just try to follow what’s good and what interests me and challenges me and makes me think and engages a part of me. It’s so rare to get all of your muscles firing at once. That’s what I look for in any role.
