Chris Pine was taken by surprise by the news that a new Star Trek movie is in development.
A fourth โStar Trekโ film was confirmed by J.J. Abrams at Paramountโs Investor Day last month and Chris โ who portrays James T. Kirk in the sci-fi franchise โ was caught unawares by the revelation.
Chris told IndieWire: โWell, whatโs going on with โStar Trekโ is frankly, I donโt know. When the announcement was made at the shareholdersโ thing, I didnโt know that they were doing that. I donโt think anybody did.โ
Despite his shock, Pine revealed that he is looking forward to working with director Matt Shakman.
He said: โI met Matt Shakman, the director. Heโs a super-cool guy, very smart, I like him a great deal.โ
The script for the new โStar Trekโ movie will be written by Josh Friedman and Cameron Squires and Pine is looking forward to reading it.
The โWonder Womanโ star said: โI know thereโs a script out there somewhere and Iโm waiting to see it. Looking forward to it. I love the group. I love the team. I love the world. Happy to go to work.โ
Pineโs latest role is in the thriller โAll The Old Knivesโ and he revealed how he got to work with an intimacy coordinator for the first time on the film.
He explained: โI had never done that before. Youโre doing a sex scene in a bedroom and you have this older woman thatโs watching and giving you notes on how to do the sex scene and Iโm thinking, โWho is the person telling me how to have sex?โ
โBut it was wonderful. She was lovely. It just takes the pressure off. Thereโs just no discomfort, because you have someone like a referee making sure itโs all above board and everyone is comfortable.
โSheโs also like a choreographer making sure it all translates well on screen like, โMove your neckโ or โArch your back moreโ.โ
