Chris Pine Talks Bromance at Parade.com

Had enough Trek yet? Me neither.

Today, it’s a Chris Pine interview over at Parade.com. Here he is talking bromance and bad boy.

Kirk and Spock — the bromance
“It’s a relationship between two men that spend a lot of time together in space. It’s sort of like Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany in Master and Commander. It is very much a story about two men learning really to love one another, and in the end, they become fast friends. But, along the way they butt heads because they’re alpha males. They strongly believe in themselves.”

On making Kirk a bad boy…
“I definitely err towards thoughtfulness more than I do impulsiveness. So it was fun to play the young Kirk as a guy who is a bit more dangerous than I am in terms of being a smart mouth and not being afraid to use his fists. But I think his great journey is that he starts at a place of self-destructiveness and then kind of finds his way to a level of maturity that he needs to command the Enterprise.”

Will he deliver for the Trekkers? What’s the toughest part? What turns Pine on? Click here for the full interview.

We’ll always have Paris. . the cast of the new Star Trek movie stepped out on the red carpet in the city of lights on April 14th. Here’s director J.J. Abrams with Eric Bana (Nero), Zoe Saldana (Uhura), Zachary Quinto (Spock), and Chris Pine (Capt. Kirk).

and here we have Abrams attempting to do the infamous Vulcan hand gesture. . . not quite J.J., but good try.

You can see more pics from the premiere over at Film Gecko, but before you go-go, answer me this; what’s the connection between Spock, Paris and Leonard Nimoy?

New Star Trek Movie Photo

Cynthia — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 21:47:32 +0000

Every photo I see, I get more and more excited about the new Star Trek movie. Zachary Quinto was born to play Spock and I’m liking what I’m seeing so far from Chris Pine (which makes me think of Captain Christopher Pike) who is donning Kirk’s uniform. I certainly don’t envy any of them the task of taking on these much beloved characters but it sure must have been a cool experience for them and everyone who got to step foot on the new / old Enterprise bridge!

Star Trek hits theaters on May 8. In the meantime, visit the website for all kinds of great trailers, photos, downloads and more.
