Chris Pine BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Since the beginning of October, Chris Pine has made headlines as he signed on to both star in and produce the action film Run the Night for Lionsgate and Hidden Pictures according to Variety and IMDb. This project, now making waves in industry circles thanks to its Cannes sales push, will see Pine playing a banker on the run in Amsterdam, with the added buzz coming from Robert Alonzo, a top Hollywood stunt coordinator, making his feature directorial debut. The story's gritty premise and international intrigue have drummed up serious industry chatter, especially with Lionsgate launching global sales at Cannes. That’s arguably his most biographically significant new project given its long-term impact and Pine’s expanding role as a producer.

Meanwhile, Pine is also set to star in the indie romance Carousel opposite Jenny Slate, with Rachel Lambert at the helm as both writer and director, as first reported by Deadline and IMDb. This move into indie territory and his collaboration with Slate add dimension to his evolving filmography and public persona. These filming announcements are dominating entertainment news headlines this week, though neither are associated with a public release date yet. Business-wise, Pine has also quietly but strategically signed with Brillstein Entertainment Partners for new management, marking his first change in representation in years, a notable career step covered exclusively by Deadline.

On the public appearance front, Pine’s directorial debut Poolman, which premiered recently in Los Angeles, continues to receive afterglow coverage, but much of the focus has shifted to his new acting commitments. Paparazzi and fan accounts have noted a few shared appearances with his partner, with SciFiGo mentioning affectionate moments at select industry events—though Pine, ever private, keeps much of his personal life out of the limelight.

As for major franchise headlines, Pine’s character Captain Kirk is back in the conversation. With the freshly completed Paramount Skydance merger, outlets like CBR and JoBlo.com confirm Paramount’s incoming CEO has made Star Trek a priority, with plans for Pine’s Kirk to return in a new feature. This is huge for fans awaiting the next Kelvin-verse installment. While there is persistent online speculation about the timing and plot, the current studio signals are at their strongest since 2021 for an imminent Star Trek sequel.

Social media has kept up the buzz, especially after the Cannes and Star Trek news. Pine’s new casting, combined with Star Trek trending after the merger, has led to thousands of X and Instagram mentions, with users expressing excitement over his action hero trajectory while others share nostalgia for his Kirk.

There are no significant controversies, no tabloid scandals, and no unconfirmed reports beyond the usual speculative casting chatter. The main story is Pine’s active professional reinvention—action lead, indie star, producer, and potentially leading Star Trek back to movie screens—all playing out across the trades and into fan feeds this week.
