Seeing as the speed is certainly picking up on the Star Trek front I’ve collected a few interviews of Chris conducted recently while over in Sydney for the premiere of Star Trek XI.

FAN REVIEW #1 SNIPPET: As far as performances go, Chris Pine is outstanding. He’s the embodiment of a conflicted soul, transcending the cliche of the troubled rebel with a greater destiny. His delivery manages to give depth while maintaining the cocky veneer. You can read the full fan review here

FAN REVIEW #2 SNIPPET: First and foremost is Chris Pine as James Tiberius Kirk — with the unquantifiable big shoes of William Shatner to be filled, Pine steps up and delivers a performance that is well beyond anything you might expect. He captures the arrogance and fortitude of Kirk while also keeping that bit of humanity and depth that Shatner was so good at. Kirk is reckless at times, but he’s smart and ever-confident in his own abilities — and Pine captures that quite well. You can read the full fan review here

SOURCE: J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek premieres Tuesday in Sydney, Australia, and fans around the planet will be able to follow the event via Twitter.

As the movie kicks off the world tour leading up to its May arrival in the U.S., Paramount announced it will have bloggers using mobile technology to bring fan-submitted questions to the movie’s stars. Trekkers are invited to submit questions for director J.J. Abrams and cast members Eric Bana, Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto via Twitter using an #asktrek hashtag.

Video responses to those questions will be published to a Star Trek channel using Phreadz, alongside a live Twitter feed and photos via Flickr. That channel will also feature a live Ustream feed from the red carpet.

It goes live at 7 a.m. GMT, Tuesday before being archived for global consumption.

We’ll be at the WORLD PREMIERE of the new STAR TREK MOVIE from director J.J.Abrams at the Sydney Opera House sharing multimedia of all the stars, stuns and Tribbles we can find!

Chris Pine is learning something about pressure. Pine, who stars as Capt. James T. Kirk in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek and won the male star of tomorrow award, says he knows the movie will be scrutinized no end by Trekkies (or is that Trekkers?).

“I get the feeling there are going to be some people who like it and some people who are going to hate that we’re even doing the movie,” Pine says. “It’s a little nerve racking. I’ve got a resume that’s about an eighth of a page long, so I better not (mess) it up.”

Dennis Quaid could tell Pine a thing or two about the ups and downs of the movie industry. Quaid, who narrates the upcoming animated sci-fi flick Battle for Terra3D and appears in G.I. Joe, collected the statuette for male star of the year.

Chris Pine may be showing up in theaters as the new James T. Kirk for “Star Trek” this year, but contrary to percolating rumors he has not yet been offered a green ring to play Hal Jordan. It turns out that discussions have taken place, but no one has sealed any deals yet for Pine to appear in the new “Green Lantern” film from Warner Bros.

“No, I had a meeting with [casting director] Pam Dixon and [executive producer] Donald De Line, but a meeting was all it was,” Pine told MTV News. “I have not been offered squat. I do not have the part and haven’t read a script.”

A rumor broke in March that Pine might be under consideration for the “Green Lantern” role on a short list that included geek-friendly stars Jon Hamm, Nathan Fillion and Sam Worthington.

Pine didn’t eliminate the possibility that he still might be offered the Hal Jordan role, but if he accepts the part, it won’t be for his love of comics.

“I’m not a big comic book fan,” he explained. Furthermore, the lack of a script in hand may be a barrier to Pine knowing if he even wants the part.

“I’m a fan of stories,” Pine said. “So if there’s a story to be told, I love to tell a good story. But there’s not a particular superhero or comic book character that I’d like to play.”
