Chris Pine Thinks ‘It’s About F***ing Time’ Star Trek Included Gay Characters

September 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

star-trek-beyond-slideIt’s a big year for Star Trek. It’s celebrating 50 years, a new TV series is in development, there’s been a new film, and that movie included the franchise’s first on-screen gay character, as it showed John Cho’s Sulu is married to a man. On that last point, it seems the latest Kirk feels it’s been a long wait for that gay character.

Speaking to THR to celebrate Trek’s 50 years, he says of including a gay character, “Amen, man. It’s about f***ing time. The fact that there’s still a conversation about it means that there’s still room to go in terms of it being normalized.”

He also spoke about George Takei’s disappointment that it was Sulu that was shown to be gay in Star Trek Beyond, saying, “My only rebuttal to George Takei — no matter what kind of creative differences he had about Sulu being gay, and I can understand his creative differences — is the fact that our job is to make people feel less alone. If there’s one kid in Middle America who feels any amount of self-loathing because he feels different, or is being bullied because he feels different or looks different or sounds different, if our film can give him solace and make him or her feel less alone, then abso-effin-loutely we should do it all the time, every day of the week.”

Cho’s Sulu soon won’t be the only LGBT character in the Star Trek universe, as it’s also been revealed that the upcoming Star Trek: Discovery TV show will feature someone who is openly gay.

Final Star Trek Beyond Trailer – Get ready to boldly go once more

July 19, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

star-trek-beyondBefore it even started filming, some had decided that the fact Fast & Furious helmer Justin Lin was directing Star Trek Beyond meant it was going to be a disaster. However, the early buzz is that they should have had a lot more faith, with many suggesting this it the best of the rebooted Star Trek bunch.

With only a few days until release, a final trailer has been released to ensure our appetites are suitably whetted.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘”Star Trek Beyond,” the highly anticipated next installment in the globally popular Star Trek franchise, created by Gene Roddenberry and reintroduced by J.J. Abrams in 2009, returns with director Justin Lin (“The Fast and the Furious” franchise) at the helm of this epic voyage of the U.S.S. Enterprise and her intrepid crew.  In “Beyond,” the Enterprise crew explores the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a mysterious new enemy who puts them and everything the Federation stands for to the test.’

The film will be in cinemas on Friday. [Read more…]

Fourth Rebooted Star Trek Film Coming With Chris Hemsworth Returning

July 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Chris-HemsworthBack in 2009 nobody really knew what a Chris Hemsworth was. His biggest role was a couple hundred episodes of Aussie soap opera Home & Away, before he scored a tiny part in the rebooted Star Trek, playing Captain Kirk’s dad, George, who didn’t last more than the first few minutes before dying. However, it turns out that won’t be the last we’ll see of his in the renewed franchise.

He may have gone onto to the superpowered heights of being Thor, but Paramount has announced that even though Star Trek Beyond hasn’t been released yet, they’re already working on the next film and that it will bring back Hemsworth.

What we don’t know is how George Kirk will return, although with Star Trek there are plenty of options. He might be brought into the future or the crew could end up back in the past. Alternatively, it may turn out he didn’t die after all. We do know the two Kirk’s will meet, with George described as, ‘a man he never had a chance to meet, but whose legacy has haunted him since the day he was born.’

Chris Pine is already confirmed to return as Jame Kirk, and the likes Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho and Simon Pegg are expected to be back too. It’s not known how the film will deal with the tragic death of Anton Yelchin, and whether it means the character of Chekov will be retired.

Another New Star Trek Beyond Trailer Arrives

June 27, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

star-trek-beyond-slideThe rebooted Star Trek has had plenty of success at the cinema, but one thing it’s been lacking is a five-year mission to seek out strange new worlds. However, now it seems it’s getting one, although as you would expect, as the crew of the USS Enterprise head off to strange new worlds, things don’t go smoothly.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘”Star Trek Beyond,” the highly anticipated next installment in the globally popular Star Trek franchise, created by Gene Roddenberry and reintroduced by J.J. Abrams in 2009, returns with director Justin Lin (“The Fast and the Furious” franchise) at the helm of this epic voyage of the U.S.S. Enterprise and her intrepid crew.  In “Beyond,” the Enterprise crew explores the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a mysterious new enemy who puts them and everything the Federation stands for to the test.’

The film will be in UK cinemas on July 22nd. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

New Star Trek Beyond Trailer – Chris Pine & co. head for strange new worlds & into action

May 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Star-Trek-Beyond-Teaser-posterThe first trailer for Star Trek Beyond came in for quite a bit of criticism, not least for being very action-heavy and not Star Trek-y enough for some tastes. However, with the second trailer it seems Paramount feels the best approach is to double down on the action and suggestions of lots of epic special-effects. That said, they have added a few more character moments and suggestions this fits into a larger sci-fi universe.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Star Trek Beyond,” the highly anticipated next installment in the globally popular Star Trek franchise, created by Gene Roddenberry and reintroduced by J.J. Abrams in 2009, returns with director Justin Lin (“The Fast and the Furious” franchise) at the helm of this epic voyage of the U.S.S. Enterprise and her intrepid crew.

Hell or High Water Trailer – Ben Foster & Chris Pine go bank robbing

May 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hell-or-high-water-trailer-slideDue to premiere soon at Cannes, the first trailer for Hell or High Water has now arrived, which you can take a look at below. The movie stars Chris Pine and Ben Foster, but they’re certainly not in pretty-boy mode.

The film, based on Taylor Sheridan’s black-listed script, follows a divorced dad and his ex-con brother resort to a desperate scheme in order to save their family’s farm in West Texas. As the trailer shows, that involves a lot of crime and bank robbing, but also plenty of bonding between the brother – plus Jeff Bridges in sheriff mode, which is never a bad thing.

Following its Un Certain Regard Canned debut, it’s heading for release in the US in August. Watch the trailer below. [Read more…]

Star Trek Beyond Trailer – Chris Pine & co. return & are finally boldy going to strange new worlds

December 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

star-trek-beyond-trailer-slide1Although the first two rebooted Star Trek movies were a lot of fun, one thing they lacked was boldly going to explore strange new worlds and new civilisations. However, with Star Trek Beyond it’s been suggest the Enterprise will finally be embarking on their five year mission.

However, while JJ Abrams may not be directing (he is producing though), it appears they’re sticking with the secrecy that surrounded the earlier movie but telling us nothing about the plot and producing a first trailer which is pretty cool, but doesn’t tell us much about the plot.

You won’t be surprised to hear though that aliens are involved, one of them played by Idris Elba.

It also appears that new director Justin Lin is bringing a nicely retro feel, with the whole thing being oddly reminiscent of the 60s TV show, which makes sense if its taking place at the same time, even if it’s an alternate timeline. Of course it’s all a lot more high tech, but it’s still got a nice throwback feeling. You can take a look at the trailer below, and look forward to the film arriving in cinemas next July.

First Pic Of Chris Pine On The Wonder Woman Set Arrives

November 15, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chris-pine-wonder-woman1Back in May Chris Pine signed on to play an important role in Warner/DC’s planned standalone Wonder Woman movie, and now he’s on the set all ready to be Steve Trevor.

An image of him in costume for the role has popped up on Twitter, showing that as has been speculated, the movie will definitely be set in the past (some had wondered if it would be brought to the present day due to Wonder Woman’s appearance in next year’s Batman vs Superman). That said, rumours suggest the second half of the film may move to the present day, although it’s not known if some sort of time travel device will allow Pine’s character to come along for the ride.

In the comics, Steve Trevor  crash lands on the Amazons’ home island of Paradise during World War II. Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) falls for him after she nurses him back to health, and then when he returns to America she follows him – becoming Diana Prince, who in true comic fashion, Steve doesn’t realise is the same person as the hero, Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman is due out June 2017.

New The Finest Hours Trailer – Chris Pine and co. face off against a mighty storm

November 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

finest-hours-trailer-slideChris Pine, CaseyAflleck, Ben Foster, Holliday Grainger and Eric Bana are getting heroic in the true-life tale with The Finest Hours, which now has a new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In February of 1952, one of the worst storms to ever hit the East Coast struck New England, damaging an oil tanker off the coast of Cape Cod and literally ripping it in half. On a small lifeboat faced with frigid temperatures and 70-foot high waves, four members of the Coast Guard set out to rescue the more than 30 stranded sailors trapped aboard the rapidly-sinking vessel. “The Finest Hours” is the story of their heroic mission, which is still considered the greatest small boat rescue in Coast Guard history.’

Disney will release the movie in cinemas early next year.

The Finest Hours Trailer – Chris Pine, Ben Foster & Eric Bana deal with the ultimate storm

July 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

finest-hours-trailer-slideChris Pine hasn’t had a huge amount of luck as a leading man outside the Star Trek franchise – and in his case it really does seem like bad luck, as he is pretty good. He’ll be hoping for a hit with The Finest Hours, which looks like it’ll be mixing action, pathos and a bit of a period feel.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In February of 1952, one of the worst storms to ever hit the East Coast struck New England, damaging an oil tanker off the coast of Cape Cod and literally ripping it in half. On a small lifeboat faced with frigid temperatures and 70-foot high waves, four members of the Coast Guard set out to rescue the more than 30 stranded sailors trapped aboard the rapidly-sinking vessel.

‘“The Finest Hours” is the story of their heroic mission, which is still considered the greatest small boat rescue in Coast Guard history.’

The film will arrive in UK cinemas 29th January 2016. [Read more…]
