The roles just keep pouring in for the latest man to play Captain James Tiberius Kirk.
"THR" reports that Chris Pine will join director David Gordon Green for the thriller The Line. The film will center:
"...on a patrol agent (Pine) who finds himself in a downward spiral on the job and at home after he loses his wife and young son. He unexpectedly becomes the caretaker of a 10-year-old child who is orphaned after a shootout with a criminal cartel. As he protects the young boy by going on the run, the agent discovers he has enemies on both sides of the law and the border."
Sounds to me like your casual run-of-the-mill thriller, but hey it might be good.
Although I don't believe Pine to be a spectacular actor, he's by no means horrible either and I think he makes the perfect Captain Kirk. That being said, I'm glad to see he's getting more roles. He definitely has the looks and ability to be a leading man in Hollywood. In many ways his career so far reminds me of Ben Affleck's path. Let's just hope he has as much success sans terrible films like Gigli and Reindeer Games.
Pine already has a huge 2014 lined up. He just finished the Joe Carnahan film Stretch and will appear in Horrible Bosses 2 and Into the Woods later this year.
You can catch Pine starring in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, currently in theaters.
