Yesterday Chris Pine attended the Hollywood Foreign Press Associations Annual Lunch, where he accepted a charity check for the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. While there he talked a bit about Star Trek, including the next one. See video of that, plus photos from the event below.
Pine looking forward to ‘getting back’ to Kirk
Chris Pine noted how pleased he was that both old school fans and "a new generation of fans"liked the new Star Trek movie. The new Kirk talked about how he was excited about the next film, but noted he didn’t know anything about it, but did confirming other reports on the timing saying:
I know they want to get stuff going for 2011, so I don’t know if that means if we shoot next year or what, I haven’t heard anything one way or the other.

It’s Captain Kirk!
What does one do to maintain a perfect permanent 5 o’clock shadow?
They need to lock Pine’s stubble and Quinto’s stubble in a room and let them battle it out.
#3 Why can’t I stop laughing at the thought of that???

Simple, Shave before you go to bed.
He’s not the only one looking forward to getting back to trek, I’m already saving for my next Trip, across country, to see it at IMAX. ( we dont’ have em here )
5:
I remember, back when “Miami Vice” was hot, Don Johnson marketed some kind of shaver which left stubble. Didn’t last too long.
That’s over 8 hours of growth. That’s two days at least.
Funny Number three, The stubble look is definitely the thing these days.
I think the new Captain Kirk is gracious , and respectful to the fans.
I mean he has not told any of us to get a life yet or anything.
I referring to the Classic Saturday Night Live skit where William Shatner tells the fans to get a life, and gets in a shoving match with the Late great Phil Hartman.
Very Funny stuff if you have not seen it.
That’s not Rose McGowan.
2 et al-
My daughter-in-law the barber has a device she can clip onto the razor, a type of spacer that can leave as much or as little stubble behind as desired.
That said, she must like the look too because Brian always has his 5 O’Clock shadow at the ready. Maybe it tickles her crotch- that’s too much information for me.
anthony, ask him why he won’t come to a con! that’s CON not KHAN
#7 “Very Funny stuff if you have not seen it.”
There is no such thing as a Trek fan who hasn’t seen it.
Can’t imagine a more personable and humble neo-Kirk. What a great job they all did. I just watched again last night. The subtlety and humor which with they referenced Star Trek TOS & 1st gen movies; characterizations (I would cite regulations, but you would only ignore…), locations (Vulcan, Starfleet Academy, Delta Vega) scriptknicks (”Are you out of your Vulcan mind?” “Fascinating”, “I have been and always shall be your friend.”), tribbles, etc. is truly masterful. No one outside the cultograph would be be confused, or even notice, and no one inside it would feel bypassed. Love this new blood.
I usually keep anywhere from 1 to 5 day’s fuzz on my face, except when going for interviews or to weddings, etc. Of course, I’ve been doing so since high school. Guess I was ahead of the curve on this one.
My wife likes the look, but not the feel when I kiss her and I’ve let it grow too long. At least, that’s what she tells me. She may hate the look and just be humoring me. :)
Anyway, Philips Norelco has a trimmer that will allow you to do anything from stubble to an inch of beard. I’d tell you what model it is, but it’s not on the casing and I’ve long since thrown away the box.

WHAT?! Your daughter-in-law’s crotch?!
God, I love Star Trek.
“They need to lock Pine’s stubble and Quinto’s stubble in a room and let them battle it out.”
^^ THIS.
That is not Rose McGowan. If it is, she needs to fire her stylist and makeup artist.
13:
i do as well, but at 44, the beard grows in gray, and I get a ‘Grizzly Adams’ thing going. That exacting stubble the stars have looks almost sculpted onto their faces. It probably is.
I wwish they weould stop referring to the next film as Star Trek 2
it just causes conflict with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
I guess the mainstream aint aware that this will be the 12th movie.
Anyway I am glad Pine is looking forward to the film. I did like him in the film, more than I thoughtI was.
To me William Shatner is and always will be Kirk, but Pine did a good job in the role for the film.
what is the term to use when you like the new actor but still prefer the original?
#18 … “what is the term to use when you like the new actor but still prefer the original?”
It’s not a term, it’s a name: Shatner_Fan_Prime.
:-)
Trying to find a polite of sayingI liked Chris Pine but prefer William Shatner
Thanks
that doesnt look much like Rose McGowan.

I have that too… its called a beard trimmer!
RE: Rose
yes, that’s her
http://www.rose-mcgowan.com/?p=1019
he would look so much more like captain kirk ,if he would trim those klingon eyebrows
I still want to know why no one other than Zach Quinto from the new cast has appeared at a Star Trek convention?
Well, good for Rose, then. Guess you can’t Botox early enough these days.
Re: Stubble
I can hear the title of this Trek episode now:
The Trouble With Stubble
Geez! What’s with this netseer crap? I’m just tryin’ to get the latest Trek info and I can barely access the site. What’s the deal and when will it stop?
Stubble. Funny stuff fellas. Speaking from experience, the only way you can get away with it is if the woman in your life enjoys a little pain with her pleasure. My wife does not. And after a certain age (you and me AJ) the stubble just makes you look like a wino. Can’t take the grey out of 1/8 inch whiskers.
The Trouble with Stubble is that it leaves you on the bubble. If you aren’t a rich, good looking Hollywood star. As far as the ladies are concerned.
I really hope the whole new crew gets typecast like the original crew. THen we;ll see 40 more years of these guys in trek.

“I still want to know why no one other than Zach Quinto from the new cast has appeared at a Star Trek convention?”
They’re out making other movies and lots and lots of money instead, I would think.

For sure on the stubble. I had to clear it with my g/f before letting it grow out a little. Unfortunately, I’m Italian so it grows out in about 2 hours. Thankfully she is understanding of that fact and lets it slide.
I’m currently working on a beard.
Great to hear that Pine is looking forward to the next film. He’d probably suck really bad if he was over the whole Star Trek thing already. Seems like he’s into it, maybe not as much as Quinto, but still.
-P
God I love Chris Pine….
The Pine! :)
They should totally let Kirk and Spock go stubbly for the sequel.
30:
Some chicks dig the “wino” look.
But, seriously, I have never had any pros or cons expressed by partners “down there” when I was unshaven. Perhaps, as a “wino,” I simply don’t recall.
#26 They don’t want to steal the “Thunder” from the older actors. I’m sure they will eventually be added to the billing for conventions. Be patient, Grasshopper.
Or they could just bring back evil goatee Spock.
It may be that he’s growing a beard on purpose for his next role as a freight-railroad engineer in “Unstoppable,” although that can also be done in makeup chairs as an “appliance,” as film scenes are usually shot out of sequence. Either way, that’s his business, IMHO. He’s an awesome actor, and I highly reccommend, for those who haven’t seen it, “BOTTLE SHOCK” — co-starring Alan Rickman (Prof. Snape from the Harry Potter series). It’s a tremendous story, based on a real-life incident in 1976 which put American (Napa Valley) wines on the world map, for lack of a better term – and includes an almost Gene Roddenberry-ish style surprise ending. Chris really IS that good an actor.
He just really seems like a genuine, funny guy who clearly recognizes what a fantastic gig he’s earned his way into… and yeah that’s right–EARNED his way in. His Kirk is totally different from the Shat–and yet was totally believable. Really looking forward to 2011 (although I still think it’s going to be held until the Wednesday before Memorial Day 2012).
I have stubble…and a stubble shaver! Sooo yea
Also, that really doesnt look like Rose McGowan…she looks veeery different!
Furthermore…I cannot wait for ST11 (as in 2011, now II as in TWOK…as in ST09…yea? or ST:SS).
In addition, I feel Pine was exceptional as Kirk, and better then any other actor could be these days. Personally, Shatner no longer looks like Kirk, he would need a girdle for a start, and he was a hammy actor anyways.
That is all
Anyone think Chris has a great deal of forehead? I’m just sayin’…
I never said you were a wino, AJ. I said that after a man reaches a certain age stubble is kind of, um, not attractive.
So what I actually said about you and I is that we are old.
THX-1138 – If I could just get mine to grow evenly in one color. Some white or evenly gray stubble could work.
I have…speckled.
BTW: Alice is a game. Not my name. Might seem odd for Alice to talk about her beard stubble. grin.
I ,for one, thinks Rose looks good(less trashy more classic)
And she seems happy to pose with THE PINE!
#45
My family are friends with Alice Cooper, so your name is not odd at all. And my BEARD looks real good in it’s streaks on the chin and along the sides to the temples. But as stubble it looks like, well, I have been on a bender and just woke up at a bus station.
Of the new cast, I was most dubious about Pine. But he nailed it. Just enough of himself, with just enough homage to Shatner. As Nimoy said, Shatner would be proud……
i’m starting to think 2011 might be pushing it a little, would rather wait for 2012 to make sure that its the best possible movie it can be!
will give JJ a bit of breathing room as well conisidering MI:4 is set for 2011

I thought Karl Urban went to something in either New Zealand or Australia within the past month.
Looks like Rose McGowan to me, but the photo was snapped mid-blink, perhaps.

“Trying to find a polite of saying I liked Chris Pine but prefer William Shatner”
And I’ve been trying to find a polite way of saying “liked William Shatner but prefer Chris Pine.” I kid you not…
The man is simply gorgeous, with or without the stubble… Period.
26. John from Cincinnati – “I still want to know why no one other than Zach Quinto from the new cast has appeared at a Star Trek convention?”
Maybe because Zachary is the only who so far has had a big enough role outside of Star Trek that will prevent him from getting typecast? FIY, Chris Pine is getting some much needed rest after performing non-stop in a play for about a month and a half. I know for a fact that he did quite a bit of meet and greet with his fans during the play’s run.
And last weekend, Karl Urban was participating in a telethon for a kids’ charity that he’s involved with back in New Zealand. I don’t know about the other actors but I’m sure they probably had some important previous engagements. Maybe next year?
I was getting ready to say … it can’t be Rose McGowan because she is wearing too many clothes.
My one gripe with Pine’s appearance is that he’s not muscular enough! No one will deny that he is a beautiful fellow, but he totally looks like a model, whereas The Shat in his prime looked like he could believably kick someone’s ass! Sigh. Guess that ultra thin look is just standard these days…
The guy is just plain cool. Any way you look at it. He’s the kind of guy you’d want to have a drink and shoot pool with too. Humble, smart, classy for a new young generation of Hollywood elite. Can’t wait to see more movies with him in them.
I’m greatly looking forward to seeing Chris back as Kirk. And as Kirk is my favourite Trek character I hope that is seen as the endorsement it is intended to be! ;-)
Oh, yes, that’s McGowan allright. She’s just smirking, maybe due to the flash or something, besides, her smile looks a bit forced on. Nor her best photo, but that’s her.
Most of the normal photos of Chris Pine I have seen like this one, he looks more like Captain Kirk than he does in the film.
They should ditch the hair gel in the next film and make him look like he does there natural looking, oh plus a shave of course.
This new Kirk has a lot of potential to express. He is young and inexperienced, but he will eventually follow his path to acquire all the human, moral and ethical qualities we know and we like. Remember: no man is born wise, and this Kirk still needs time to grow and develop.
Never heard of Rose McGowan before. So, as a neutral observer, I checked pictures of her at Wikipedia and at IMDB. It’s the same person on those pictures and next to Pine.
But she is one very beautiful woman.
She is Pines woman!
Rose McGowan and Chris Pine in the same place together?.
Damn., That would’ve been a dream day for me.
Both HOT!
He is one handsome man! Woof!
I love 5 o’clock shadows on guys. Pine looks great with one along with Quinto
I thought the stubble look went out with the miami vice era,maybe we will see a return of the pastelle suits as well.Ill have to dig out my 80s clothes and see if they still fit.lol.
OH, what a cool idea– Nimoy appearing in STsomethingsomething as old Mirror Spock!
Geeeeeeeeenius!!
THERES NO WAY TO PUT IT HE REALLY IS JAMES T KIRK!!!!!! THE NEXT MOVIE NEEDS TO DO ITS OWN THING NOW THAT ITS AN ALTERNATE TIME LINE KHAN WOULD BE NICE BUT DO IT DIFFRENTLY THIS TREK NEEDS TO DO DIFFERENT STORIES.
battle of the stubble… thats a new trek concept…. better then in the nineties when it was a battle of the hairpieces….
Well, I for one am glad I only have to pluck out my occasional whisker every 6 weeks. Imagine shaving every day for life. I think I know why you guys grow your beards out. More convenient. Oh, and by the way, once the stubble grows out into a nice soft beard, he really is very kissable. Trust me.
brilliant show. I have been a Star Trek fan for 35 years and these two, as well as Karl Urban and Simon Pegg completely surplant the roles.
Imo he needs to pluck his eyebrows a bit but otherwise i guess he was kinda alright, although kirk has amber eyes not blue.
