The premise of This Means War is stupidly irresistable. Chris Pine and Tom Hardy play secret agents. Both end up dating Reese Witherspoon. She seems to be a normal girl, but their interest gets so heightened that they use their spy tools on each other. Director McG may have a real winner on his hands. Check out the trailer…
In what may have been inevitable, J.J. Abrams has finally signed on to direct Star Trek 2. Though Paramount was hot for the sequel after the first film’s impressive domestic showing, Abrams went on to direct Super 8, and Hollywood considered turning Chris Pine into a movie star (there were a number of rumors about what he would do next, but mostly there’s been Unstoppable). Production is supposed to start later this year for what is more than likely a 2013 summer release date.
While James Bond fans scored a big one today, fans of the Jack Ryan film franchise (The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, and The Sum of All Fears) will have to keep holding their collective breaths—Paramount is putting the spy franchise on the back burner as the new Jack Ryan, Chris Pine, is going to be busy starring as Captain Kirk in the rushed-release of Star Trek 2 next summer.
Back in September, we reported that Chris Pine was in negotiations to star in a developing film called Welcome to People. Yes, the title sounds strange but the story is even stranger. The film will mark screenwriter Alex Kurtzman’s (Lost, Star Trek) directorial debut. And according to THR, he’s landed another actor for it in the form of the talented Elizabeth Banks.
Last week we spoke with Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, Rosario Dawson and director Tony Scott about their upcoming, non-stop, action-thrill-ride, Unstoppable. This commences the fifth time that Washington and Scott have joined forces to create a movie together. It seems like as long as you have these two together, add a few explosions, a chase scene, a sexy lady (dressed to make her look like a “regular girl” – tip boys, Rosario Dawson will NEVER look average), and you are in fact unstoppable at the box office! Throw in a sexy new-comer and you’ve got it made.
Check out the interview with the cast and director below…
Alex Kurtzman is breaking away from his long time writing partner Roberto Orci to do his own thing. As one of the minds behind “Lost,” “Fringe,” Transformers, and Star Trek (just to name a few) Kurtzman is ready to move on to bigger things. The screenwriter is trying his hand at directing and it looks like the new James Kirk is in talks for the lead. We’re looking at you Chris Pine.
George Clooney is getting that director’s itch again. The Oscar winner and recent recipient of the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award has his eye on a new project. According to Vulture (via JoBlo), Clooney is interested in helming the drama Farragut North, and he already has a dream cast that includes Chris Pine, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Evan Rachel Wood, and Marisa Tomei.
Now that we’ve all seen the trailer for Tony Scott’s newest feature, Unstoppable 20th Century Fox’s marketing department has unleashed the first poster. It features both headliners, Denzel Washington and Chris Pine as well as a lot of red and orange to catch your attention. Take a look into Pine’s steel blue eyes below…
The first trailer for Tony Scott and Denzel Washington’s umpteenth collaboration has been released and it’s called Man on Fire, we mean The Taking of Pelham 123, no we mean Unstoppable. Yes, it’s Unstoppable and it co-stars Chris Pine. It’s one of those movies where the older, more experienced character has to take the young buck under their wing to show them the way. And in this case, if Pine’s character doesn’t learn quickly he’ll end up dead. Take a look at the trailer…
