The folks at
Trek Movie have gathered a collection of various quotes from actor Chris Pine on the highly anticipated
Star Trek Into Darkness, director J.J. Abrams' return to the
Trek universe. Speaking with Red Carpet News, Pine - who plays Captain James T. Kirk - discusses his character's journey in the new film. While Kirk gained the captain's chair of the USS Enterprise in the 2009 film, Pine says that he earns the position in the sequel.
"Kirk is fun because he is a brash, cocky, bull-headed kind of guy," he says.
"I think the journey he goes on in this new film is a lot about – the first one was about getting the chair and the second one is about earning it. And I think that is a big part of his journey." Also, in an interview with
Radio Times, Pine was asked about Benedict Cumberbatch's heavily speculated villainous role in
Star Trek Into Darkness. One of the film's biggest secrets is who exactly the
Sherlock star is playing, with rumors ranging from Gary Mitchell to the infamous Khan. Pine revealed some details on a scene involving Cumberbatch.
"There’s one scene in [Star Trek Into Darkness] that’s like, you know… in all kinds of heavy science fiction there’s got to be the exposition scene where it’s like, what the hell’s going on? It’s a really, really, really hard scene. Not for me, for Benedict – and watching him handle that and to make something that I think, on paper, could have been a death trap for an actor and to see how he [deals with it]."
