Chris Pine Says He is Ready for Star Trek Fame as the New James T. Kirk

Features

By GustavoLeao / 03:57, 1 August 2008 / Feature Films

National Ledger posted a brief interview with Star Trek star Chris Pine, the new James T. Kirk. Here is an excerpt of the article.

Pine says he's ready to ride the tsunami of attention -- and loss of privacy -- sure to come his way next year when he's seen as James T. Kirk in J.J. Abrams' re-imagined "Star Trek" movie. "It's definitely something I thought about upon taking something like 'Star Trek,'" says the 27-year-old actor.  "There's a certain price one pays for being able to act, which is what I've chosen to do, and a certain price to get to that position where one is able to get more opportunities, to be picky, to say yes and no, and be particular."

The full interview is here.

You're absolutely right. I believe all Star Trek actors forthcoming should never show any confidence to reporters, never praise the film for fear of being a pawn of the director, nor should they bad mouth the franchise or show lack of intrest in the aforementioned franchise.

No, the only way to satisfy the die-hards Mr. Pine is to lock yourself in a panic-room with plenty of air, food and water to last you until May 2009. It would seem, it is impossible to make all of these folks happy.

My my, this young fellow is awfully presumptuous. He sure seems to have an ego on par with The Great Shatner.

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)
