Chris Pine Says Fans Will See Beginning of the Main Characters Before the 5-Year Mission

Features

By GustavoLeao / 12:49, 4 April 2008 / Feature Films

The latest issue of Star Trek Magazine, out in the U.S. and the U.K., features just a few quotes fron a recent internet interview with the new James T. Kirk, actor Chris Pine, who seemed very upbeat about the new Star Trek movie and compared it to Batman Begins.

"You get the birth, the childhood and beginning of the main characters before the five-year mission. That's going to be great. You get a sense of where they came from and how they began. Plus anyone who is a lover of big action films is going to love this."

Pine revealed that he has much confidence in the new films ability to attract new fans and the actor feels that the movie has the right balance of action and humour to draw back fans as well as attract newer fans too boot.

The original report can be found at Sci Fi Pulse.

Just as long as this interpretation of Kirk knows to push away from the Heineken and fried foods soon enough not to need a Starfleet girdle when he hits his 50's. :)

Great actor + great director = Great Kirk | Report this post to moderator

I know we all have Shatner's staccato interpretation of the Enterprise captain burned into our collective pop culture minds as the one true Kirk, but I firmly believe that Pine's talent as an actor (lots of industry buzz about him prior to Trek) combined with Abram's talent as a director, will yield a new (and *gasp* possibly even improved) take on the character.

I love what Shatner brought to the role, dramatic pauses and all. And I have a feeling I'll love what Pine does with it at least as much.

Really looking forward to summer. Damn, it's still over a year away.

It’s good to finally hear from the only actor currently playing the Kirk role, but I can wait to hear from the Shat fans and how Pine can never hold a candle to Shat’s Kirk, so on your marks, get set, GO!!!!!!
