UPDATE: Pine Is Kirk! ‘LOTR’ actor is Bones!
Hot off the news that Eric Bana (now an official badass after being referenced in “Knocked Up”) will play the villain in JJ Abrams upcoming “Star Trek XI” project, reports are coming in that actor Chris Pine is being considered for the role of Captain Kirk. Some folks are even calling Pine the new “It Boy.”
Pine is probably best known for starring opposite Lindsay Lohan in “Just My Luck” and for playing one of the assassins in “Smokin’ Aces” - both of these movies made me want to flee the theater. I know, I know … it’s unfair to judge Pine by his short resume, and he might even prove Bill Shatner proud if he does get to sit in that captain’s chair in the new “Trek” flick.
I gotta say that I ‘d rather see Pine as Kirk than that frat-a-touille Mike Vogel.
