Chris, Reese and Tom were featured on MTV’s 10onTop this morning promoting This Means War. In case you missed it this morning, you can watch it below.

Another huge thank you goes to my good friend Pedro for the video!

Given the overwhelming success of J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek,” much ado has been made over the sequel, which started production not too long ago. One of the more interesting stories to come out of the flurry of activity surrounding the new film is the casting of rising star Benedict Cumberbatch as the chief villain.

The very busy actor could only express his excitement about the project when MTV News caught up with him at the Golden Globes, but co-star Chris Pine had a little bit more to offer about Cumberbatch’s contributions to the film thus far.

McG Considered Alternate “This Means War” Endings
Should Reese Witherspoon choose Tom Hardy or Chris Pine at the end of “This Means War”? Turns out there was once a potential reality where she wouldn’t have had to make that decision. Movieline reports that, during a press day for the flick, director McG admitted that he almost released two different endings with Witherspoon choosing a different guy. We’d opt for option three, where the two men end up with one another.

In other “War” news, the film has undergone yet another release date shift: instead of opening on Valentine’s Day, it’ll now only host previews on the holiday and will open wide on February 17.

In random Chris news…
Katherine Schwarzenegger, 22, recently got the chance to interview the stars of the upcoming movie, “This Means War” — Chris Pine, Tom Hardy and Reese Witherspoon — Friday after scoring the opportunity to be a guest correspondent for “Entertainment Tonight.”

“I was terrified,” she told People magazine the day after the interview. “Before I went in there, I was like, ‘I’m going to throw up. I’m going to have projectile vomit in their faces, I’m so nervous!’”

Though she admits to feeling a little sheepish about being handed such a plum opportunity at such a young age — noting “Chris Pine is gorgeous!”

Check out 2 new videos of Chris, Tom and Reese from the This Means War Press junket.

Filmmaker Mcg shot a variety of endings to This Means War to prevent audiences from discovering which leading man Reese Witherspoon picks in the romantic comedy.

British actor Tom Hardy and Star Trek hunk Chris Pine play secret agents and best friends who fight over the blonde beauty – but not even the trio knew the plot’s outcome as they filmed different scenarios for director Mcg.

Witherspoon tells Empire magazine, “We shot endings where I could end up with Tom, or I could end up with Chris, or I could end up alone… “, while Pine jokes, “Or the one where Tom and I could end up together. It’s a very progressive film.”

Pine also admits there was plenty of rivalry on the set as he and Hardy competed with one another to impress Witherspoon.

He explains, “It’s like being in the schoolyard: a beautiful girl and two red-blooded guys. It was basically a constant flirt-off – who could charm Reese and make her laugh the most… Tom won on the accent and lips front. I won on eyebrows and self-deprecation…

“Ladies love the accent and I’m not packing any heat in that department. There’d be no shame losing to Tom. If I had to lose to anyone, it’s fine if I lose to Tom Hardy. Of course, that would never happen. Ever.”
