I just uploaded 2 professional photos from a photo session Chris done dressed as his character “Bo” from the movie “Bottle Shock”, which was recently screened at this past Sundance Film Festival. The photos were taken by photographer Robert Todd Williamson.

In the based-on-a-true story Sundance movie Bottle Shock, Chris Pine stars opposite Bill Pullman as one half of a California wine-making duo whose ”perfect” Chardonnay impressed the merde out of the French at a 1976 blind tasting. The day after the film’s premiere, we cornered young Mr. Pine in the EW photo lounge to chat about his first Sundance experience, as well as some other movie he’s in whose title rhymes with ”Far Schmeck.”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Are you enjoying Sundance?
CHRIS PINE: I’m only here for a very short time, so I’m going to cram in as much fun as possible. I have to hop on a plane tonight and go back home, unfortunately.
Because you’re shooting some small movie, right?
Yes, it’s a small independent back in Los Angeles. It’s kind of like Star Wars and Spaceballs combined. I think they’re calling it Star Trek. It’s going very well. We’re having a lot of fun. It comes out later this year, sometime near Christmas time. I think people will really enjoy it.
Just wanted to post to let you guys know I’m currently uploading more appearance photos from past events Chris has attended from 2004 up to 2007. There will probably be a few new pictures in each album, almost. Enjoy!
I’ve just updated the gallery with even more candids from the Sundance Festival. Seems Chris had a very busy day yesterday attending such things as the “Bottle Shock” Press Conference and The Boost Mobile Lounge among other things. I’ve also added about 7 more candids from Chris’s appearance at the “Cloverfield” premiere this past Wednesday.

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Hollywood Today) Stardate – Chris Pine, who plays the young Captain James T. Kirk in the upcoming $150 million movie “Star Trek,” is starting the new year with his own five year mission. To boldly go where few actors get the chance to go, or dare to.
“It brings a big responsibility,” Pine said on the importance of being Kirk, whom generations of fans know as intimately as a family member. “It’s not your standard tentpole movie. It has a 40-year history attached to it. These are iconic roles that have been done, and done well,” he told Hollywood Today.
It is indeed a big responsibility, and one that will be judged under a microscope. Trekkies are the most rabid of all fans, have always had the largest conventions, most enthusiastic collectors and those who will examine every nuance, line and action of their revered Captain Kirk and the cadet who dares to play him. Not only against how William Shatner played it on TV and film, but against the canon of Trek lore, which adherents believe in almost religiously.
An informal radio survey once reported that a third of the people polled believe the government is capable of producing warp drives, or already has. This is indicative that fantasy passes to belief if you’ve seen it on TV and movies often enough since you were a kid.
Yep, I’m on a roll I guess you could call it. I’ve been neglecting the site for various reasons the past few months but I intend to make up for it. Starting with these changes are new looks to everything, including the gallery. I will be changing the Icon Vault’s look as well in due time. Enjoy!
I can finally answer many of your questions when you asked if or when Blind Dating was coming to DVD. Well I can now tell you it comes out on DVD February 5th, 2008. Just a little over a month to be exact but, hey why wait?! you can pre-order it now.
What is Blind Dating about: A hilarious comedy about Danny (Chris Pine), an intelligent, confident, handsome young man who also happens to be blind. Not that he’s letting that hold him back — for the most part, Danny refuses to let his visual impairment get in the way of anything. Which is why Danny’s girl-crazy, limo-driving brother Larry (Eddie Kaye Thomas, AMERICAN PIE) is horrified to discover that Danny is not only shy and nervous when it comes to the opposite sex, he’s also a virgin.
