Chris Pine Confirmed as the New James T. Kirk

Features

By GustavoLeao / 15:21, 15 October 2007 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Actor Chris Pine is definitely in to play the new James T. Kirk in J.J. Abrams new Star Trek movie, reports /Film and Trek Movie Report. Pine has dropped out of the Joe Carnahan-directed "White Jazz," which was apparently the final thing standing in his way of saying yes to Abrams and Star Trek.

On his blog, Carnahan said, "The young man playing Junior Stemmons has opted to 'go where no man has gone before' and thus, had to bow out of WHITE JAZZ. I've been talking to him this past week and knew how tough the decision had to be for him. I don't envy ever being in that spot but I gave him my full support, even if it meant he didn't do JAZZ. I get it. You don't get opportunities like that often and I told him as long as he could control as much of that process as possible and not get sucked into doing lesser sequels as a result of taking this gig, then good luck and God bless."

Carnahan has promised a role to Pine in Killing Pablo, his Pablo Escobar biopic which is set to go into production June 2008.

There are still no indications that William Shatner has been asked to play the older Captain James T. Kirk again in Abrams movie.

The original reports are here and here.
