Chris Pine BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Chris Pine has made several headlines in the past week, most significantly for both career moves and ongoing buzz about his roles. Deadline Film and TV revealed that Pine has signed with Brillstein Entertainment Partners for management and will now be repped by Doug Wald, ending a long-term professional relationship with his former manager John Carrabino. Industry insiders see this as a noteworthy shift especially as Pine enters a new creative chapter, having recently premiered the Italian feature The Kidnapping of Arabella at the Venice Film Festival and completing work on Alpha Gang with Cate Blanchett and Léa Seydoux. Social media took note of his Venice appearance last week, with fan accounts on Threads and Instagram reacting to his red carpet style and the buzz around Arabella. Notably, his casual workout fashion even earned a nod from AOL’s Look of the Week column, further fueling his status as a style reference point.

A major development is the continuing speculation and mounting indications about a new Star Trek film following the highly publicized Paramount and Skydance merger. MovieWeb and Collider have both confirmed that the franchise is a priority for the newly merged studio and that another Star Trek feature including Captain Kirk, played by Pine, is in development. Although Zachary Quinto recently told Collider that Star Trek 4 might be the last with the current Kelvin Timeline cast, Pine himself has stayed measured, telling Yahoo Entertainment he has not seen the final script and is waiting on direction from the producers. His recent comments surfaced again after longtime rumors around Quentin Tarantino’s potential R rated Star Trek script—Pine noted that despite fan curiosity, Tarantino’s version is off the table, but he remains intrigued by what it might have been.

In a playful nod to fandom, Quentin Tarantino gave Pine’s performance in the film Unstoppable special praise, calling him one of the best actors of his generation during a recent Rewatchables podcast. This compliment, echoed in several entertainment headlines, is being widely shared and discussed among fans and film insiders alike.

While Pine’s name trends often, there have been no controversial new stories or confirmed negative press—older rumors like the so called spitting incident with Harry Styles at Venice are still occasionally mentioned on social media but remain firmly debunked by the actor’s reps and outlets like BBC and Telegrafi, who dismissed it as internet fabrication. The past few days have solidified Pine’s profile as a sought after leading man with major projects ahead, a refreshed professional team, and the promise of another Star Trek voyage on the horizon.
