Chris Pine, known for his magnetic charm, is undeniably one of Hollywood’s shining stars. Born on August 26, 1980, in the heart of Los Angeles, California, Chris comes from an acting dynasty; his parents, Robert Pine and Gwynne Gilford, were seasoned performers themselves. An early standout role saw him alongside Anne Hathaway in ‘The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement’ (2004). But it was stepping into the shoes of James T. Kirk in the revamped ‘Star Trek’ film series that truly made him a global sensation. Throughout his career, Pine has proven his adaptability, diving into action-driven narratives like ‘Unstoppable’ (2010) and romantic tales such as ‘This Means War’ (2012).
Collaborations with celebrated directors and actors have only enhanced his reputation. Not just limited to films, Pine’s venture into television with the noir miniseries ‘I Am the Night‘ (2019) was equally commendable. With a career spanning diverse genres and roles, Chris Pine continues to be a force to reckon with in the entertainment world. For fans eagerly awaiting his next move after memorable performances like Steve Trevor in ‘Wonder Woman’ (2017), the anticipation is palpable. Here’s the list of all Pine’s upcoming movies!
1. The Kidnapping of Arabella (TBA)
Chris Pine will star alongside Benedetta Porcaroli in the upcoming Italian drama ‘The Kidnapping of Arabella.’ Written and directed by Carolina Cavalli, the production is underway between the Italian regions of Veneto and Emilia Romagna. The plot follows a young woman named Holly (Porcaroli), who is convinced she is the wrong version of herself. This is until she meets a seven-year-old girl who makes her change her mind. Pine’s character hasn’t been revealed yet. A release date is yet to be finalized.
2. Untitled Star Trek: Beyond Sequel (TBA)
The untitled ‘Star Trek Beyond’ sequel is poised to be an action-adventure film, seamlessly continuing the narrative from ‘Star Trek Beyond’ (2016). While the intricate plot details written by Steve Yockey remain a closely guarded secret, anticipation surrounding the sequel is undeniably high. Pine, with his magnetic charisma, returns to embody Captain James T. Kirk, steering the USS Enterprise on yet another cosmic journey. Joining him in this interstellar odyssey are formidable stars such as Zachary Quinto (Spock) and John Cho (Sulu).
Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, and Simon Pegg are rumored to portray Lieutenant Uhura, Doctor ‘Bones’ McCoy, and Montgomery ‘Scotty’ Scott, respectively. Steve Yockey has been brought in to write the script. Originally, the movie had a calendar mark of December 22, 2023, for its premiere. However, a shift in Paramount’s plans resulted in its removal from the immediate release lineup. This turn of events coincided with director Matt Shakman’s departure, who had been closely associated with the sequel since 2021 and subsequently gravitated towards Marvel Studios for their ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot. The project has yet to get a director and more details about the same are awaited.
