RedEyeChicago.com has posted a ‘tease’ of their interview with Chris while promoting People Like Us. According to them, the full Q&A interview will be posted in a few weeks, most likely when the film is released. So, stay tuned!
“I have a feeling that story will haunt me for the rest of my life. It’s one of these things–sometimes you can leave your car in Burbank, Los Angeles and walk into a conference room and your back is sweating and you’re thinking about the laundry you have to do and somehow seamlessly you can then pretend to be a man in a loincloth standing in front of blue people saying lines like, “Come follow me, I’ll save you!” And sometimes you just can’t buy it. [Laughs] I walked into that room absolutely not believing myself. How dare I put that poor casting director through the experience of watching me. Halfway through I just kind of stopped; she was maybe smiling or laughing at me. I didn’t take offense to it because I realized I was probably pretty bad, and we just called it a day and I shook hands with her and out I walked.”
Also, Pine on rumors that he’ll play Brick in a Broadway adaptation of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” co-starring Scarlett Johansson:
“I’ve talked to Scarlett. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I haven’t made any final decision. It’s Tennessee Williams. It’s ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.’ It’s Brick. It’s pretty seminal American theater. It’s an incredibly difficult part.” [So as of today it’s a maybe?] “Yeah, it’s still kind of up in the air. But I met Scarlett and she’s really intelligent and really passionate about this stuff and really savvy.”
