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.”

You begin to see Chris around the 1:15 marker. 🙂

Empire’s J.J. Abrams’ special issue hits newsagent shelves on March 28th.

The front cover of Empire’s May issue is boldly going where very few covers have gone before. In publishing’s answer to Project Genesis, it has expanded across three whole pages of cover to accommodate Star Trek Into Darkness’s full complement in a gatefold that lays out the full majesty of J.J. Abrams’ world.

From Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk to Zachary Quinto’s Spock, and newbies Alice Eve (Carol Marcus) and the mysterious and most likely fairly evil John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch). No wonder Kirk looks miffed. Abrams has (a) stolen his chair, and (b) failed to turn up in appropriate Starfleet attire.

As those cover lines reveal, the edition is jammed with Abrams-related goodies. There’s new Star Wars gems within, a comprehensive oral history of Lost and we’ve spoken to everyone in the JJverse. Brace yourself for something truly special.
