Entertainment Weekly caught up with actor Chris Pine at the Sundance festival, where he talked about his role as the new James Tiberius Kirk in the next Star Trek movie. Here are few excerpts from the article. Beware of minor spoilers.
You're shooting some small movie, right?
Yes, it's a small independent back in Los Angeles. It's kind of like Star Wars and Spaceballs combined. I think they're calling it Star Trek. It's going very well. We're having a lot of fun. It comes out later this year, sometime near Christmastime. I think people will really enjoy it.
You wear a wig in your Sundance movie. Do you wear a wig as Captain Kirk?
Uh, I do not wear a wig in Star Trek like I did in Bottle Shock, thank God. Bottle Shock will be the last wig movie I ever do.
Is the pressure coming more from the fanboys and their off-the-charts expectations?
Yeah, sure, the Internet is not my friend in this case. Best to stay away. I can understand, I don't have that many credits and people are very worried that their Kirk is going to be destroyed. But I can only say that we're having a great time. J.J. [Abrams, the director] has been wonderful and the cast is phenomenal. I think what we're doing is very special.
Have you talked with Shatner?
I have not talked to Shatner. I wrote him a letter early on in the process and corresponded that way. I got a letter back from him, which is very nice. And I've met Mr. [Leonard] Nimoy a couple of times. He's been on set and we have a couple of scenes in the film, which will be nice, and I'm excited for those.
The full interview can be found here.
Okay, I'm the last one around to get my shorts in a twist about continuity, but I recall that Kirk was actually surprised by the idea of time travel at the end of "The Naked Time," as though the idea were a novelty to him. Wonder where this new twist will leave us.

GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show!.... You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME! -- William Shatner on Saturday Night Live (1986)

Chris Pine also spoke to Canada's Sun Media about ST:XI and the uncertainty factor that still surrounds William Shatner: "I know he wants to be part of it, and I know they're still talking that he might be part of it. I don't know where it stands."
As with other actors involved with this project, Pine is mindful of what he reveals to the media. "Everybody talks about (Abrams') secrecy and it can be claustrophobic while you're making it. While I'm talking to you I'm going through my head of what I can and cannot say. I've signed so many confidentiality agreements at this point I don't know where I am legally."

The 'calculated-for-maximum-controversy' quality of that headline cracks me up. You couldn't have just called it 'Chris Pine talks about his approach to playing the Kirk character'? ;)

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on
my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their
breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.
