As many of you saw I had recently put the site on a temporary BRB while I finished up the new design, which you so happen to be viewing now. I really wanted something smooth and all around simple, but still have all the important details you all have come to like such as Chris’ latest projects and so forth. In addition to the new design on both the site and the gallery I have also taken the time to edit and update all the pages as well as add a new page for The Pine-Nuts. On that page, you will read about who and what The Pine-Nuts are, and what we do, and how you may even participate.

I hope you all like the new design, and if you could, I would love to see what you guys have to say so please leave a comment below. 🙂

Star Trek actor Chris Pine has revealed how he hopes to see his character, Captain Kirk grow in Star Trek 2 and how he hopes to see this done. Chris also admitted that he had full faith in everybody associated with the movie to make it happen and work better than he could imagine.

Pine explained, “I don’t know. I look forward to his development and bringing to light all his idiosyncrasies and thinking up new ways to surprise people with this character. I just trust Damon Lindelof and Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman and J.J. Abrams and everybody behind it to create another good story, because they’ve already done it.”

He added, “I appreciate Kirk’s humor and I think that’s a legacy from Shatner’s Kirk, from the original and only Kirk, which I would love to bring into the future incarnation.” Star Trek 2 is expected to be released on August 16, 2012 but this could yet change.
