In what must surely be a fanboy’s dream, several Star Trek cast members made their appearance at a local Hooter’s in Northern California last night.
The actors were in town filming scenes for Star Trek 2 at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
The latest batch of Star Trek 2 set photos feature Chris Pine.
The actor is wearing the same black mock turtleneck tunic and gray slacks as were seen on Zachary Quinto yesterday in pictures also released by X17.
Chris Pine and Benedict Cumberbatch spoke about their recent work on Star Trek 2, including progress on the film and preparations for playing one of the characters.
When it comes to Star Trek 2, fans can expect plenty of action and an exciting film according to the actor playing Captain Kirk. “It’s just as action-packed at the first one,” Pine said.
A new trailer for People Like Us, in which Chris Pine stars as a “twenty-something fast-talking salesman,” is now online.
People Like Us (formerly Welcome to People) is the story “of a struggling twenty-something man (Pine) 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 (Elizabeth Banks) 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.”
A new batch of Star Trek 2 photos has appeared online and this batch includes Chris Pine.
The photos include Zachary Quinto (with Spock ears), Zoë Saldana and Pine.

After hearing what Chris Pine has to say about him, Benedict Cumberbatch had some praise of his own for Pine and the Star Trek cast.
Pine had told MTV that Cumberbatch was “fantastic,” and that he was “super talented.” He went on to say that “we are more than grateful to have him aboard [Star Trek 2].”
Chris Pine‘s former talent agency, SDB Partners, has filed a suit against the actor after being dropped via email in November.
SDB Partners took a chance on Pine back in 2002 when “nobody was willing to touch [him],” and helped the actor to land various roles including that of James T. Kirk on Star Trek XI.
Star Trek 2‘s Chris Pine is happy to have Benedict Cumberbatch aboard for the J.J. Abrams sequel.
Pine was filled with praise for Cumberbatch. “Benedict is fantastic,” he said. “He’s just so good, He’s super talented, and we are more than grateful to have him onboard.”
J.J. Abrams confirmed that he would like to have Benicio Del Toro in Star Trek 2, although he is mum regarding what role the actor would play.
Del Toro and Abrams are still trying to work out a deal to get Del Toro for the Trek sequel. “Well, we’re just in negotiations,” said Abrams. “We’re in discussions. It’s not even negotiations—just in discussion. But I would love to work with him. I’ve wanted to work with him for years, and this felt like a good opportunity.”

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.”
