Chris answer questions about Star Trek Into Darkness, Benedict Cumberbatch, meeting Harrison Ford and how he believes the story of a film is what carries it.

Chris along with fellow stars attending the 2013 CinemaCon event in Las Vegas this past week spoke with USA Today about film violence and how they’re rated. You can see what Chris had to say below:

Chris Pine, star of Star Trek Into Darkness (May 13), rated PG-13.
“I find the ratings system can be a little strange,” he says. “You can have a little bit of sex or nudity, and suddenly you’ve got an NC-17 rating. But you can show all of this violence and bloodshed, and somehow that’s OK. I mean, look at what kids see in Grand Theft Auto (video game). It’s a tough issue. But in the end, we all have to be accountable for what we’re making on screen.”

CHRIS PINE
Hungry man, indeed: The Star Trek Into Darkness actor isn’t content to take in a film without some sizable snacks on hand. “Give me that great big bag of popcorn and the Red Vines,” Pine said. “I need both for this movie.”

I’ve added 139 photos of Chris at tonight’s CinemaCon Award Ceremony event in Las Vegas where he was presented with the Male Star of the Year award!

I want to say just how incredibly proud I am of Chris. I’ve been a fan of his since 2004, and to see him come this far has been a great joy and pleasure. He deserves all the recognition for his talent and much more. Congratulations Chris!

Thanks to Olivia of Lauren-Cohan.net for some of the photos!
