I don’t usually do this, nor do I like to post anything not related to Chris but I just wanted to spread the word a bit and let everyone know about my newest website dedicated to Ben Rappaport. Ben’s not widely known and is new to the television show scene but you may recognize him from NBC’s newest series ‘Outsourced’ which airs at 9:30 after The Office. I would really love everyone could visit and check it out. 🙂

Star Trek‘s Chris Pine is in “preliminary discussions” to star in the upcoming family drama Welcome to People, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Alex Kurtzman, who wrote the screenplay with Roberto Orci and Jody Lambert, is set to direct.

Welcome to People is about a man who, per his recently deceased father’s will, has to bring $150,000 to an alcoholic sister he didn’t know he had. He then involves himself in her life and the life of her “angry 12-year-old son,” without letting on about their family connection.

I’ve added 9 NEW Ultra High Quality movie stills from ‘Unstoppable’ including the new UK Poster as well.

And according to HeyUGuys.co.uk, they said the new release date for ‘Unstoppable’ seems to be November 26th. I can only assume this is for the UK only.

Here are some recent news snippets about Chris and his upcoming projects Jack Ryan and This Means War.

Chris was spotted arriving at the Vancouver airport Sunday (Sept. 19th) evening. He is in Vancouver for the his upcoming film “This Means War” also starring Reese Witherspoon and Tom Hardy which begins filming at the end of this month.

Word is that Paramount has hired a new writer for upcoming film ‘Jack Ryan’ which Chris is attached to. Recently the studio brought on Anthony Peckham, who wrote INVICTUS and did a pass on SHERLOCK HOLMES, to write a draft of the script that would center on Ryan’s early career tracking down terrorists in Russia. Paramount is hoping that Peckham can deliver a script that will finally get the project kicked into high gear. Recently Jack Bender (“Lost”) signed on to direct the film. There’s another script in existence from Adam Cozad but it’s unclear if Peckham will work off that draft or start fresh.

In a recent interview The Collider asked William Shanter if he saw echoes of his own performances as Kirk, in what Chris Pine did? William’s reply was “I appreciated his performance. I didn’t see what some people have written about, but I’m not that observant.”

I’ve added 2 high quality scans of Chris from InRock POP! Vol. 2 Japanese magazine from June 2009. Huge thanks to Minami for donating these! 🙂

If anyone could translate it would be very much appreciated!

With all the high-speed Internet connections and mobile devices out there, we receive breaking news at blistering speeds these days. And in movie news, one rumor can spark a million stories. Case in point: when New York magazine’s Vulture blog reported that George Clooney was planning to follow through with his plans to adapt the play “Farragut North” into a feature film, with Chris Pine attached to star.

But we here at MTV News like to take every possible opportunity to clarify or confirm rumors. And when the very pleasant Pine called to chat about his upcoming thriller “Unstoppable” a few days after the Clooney news surfaced, we had to ask his thoughts about it.

“I have, I mean, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said with some hesitation.

So, we told him the short version of the story.

“Wow!” he responded, sounding genuinely shocked. “Um … that would be another dream come true,” he said, having mentioned earlier that working with Denzel Washington and Ridley Scott on “Unstoppable” was just that.

“Farragut North,” written by former Democratic political operative Beau Willimon, revolves around the shady tactics a young presidential campaign wunderkind named Stephen Myers uses to get his candidate the nomination against a rival senator.

“I love that part, I love the story,” said Pine, who received rave reviews in the lead role of “Farragut” onstage last year. “I think it’s a wonderful, wonderful story about a really intelligent young guy who’s kind of hyper-articulate, and spinning a bunch of plates at once, that’s obviously hiding a lot of trauma and a lot of insecurity and a lot of hurt. And to work with George Clooney, that would be pretty f—ing awesome.”

We then mentioned the report that Clooney is eyeing Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti as Pine’s potential co-stars.

His reaction? He laughed out loud in disbelief.

“Jesus Christ! Well, you can’t get better than that,” he said. “I hope it works out. That would be a lot of fun.”
