Chris Pine's Hollywood Takeover: From Indie Romance to Star Trek Uncertainty

Chris Pine BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Chris Pine has been making headlines across film, business, and the occasional red carpet, giving fans plenty to talk about in recent days. In the biggest film news, Pine is confirmed to star opposite Jenny Slate in the upcoming indie romance Carousel, written and directed by Rachel Lambert. The movie wrapped filming in Cleveland this summer, generating buzz as Pine and the cast were spotted around the city’s landmarks and local shops. The ensemble includes Sam Waterston, Katey Sagal, and more, as reported by EntertainmentNow and Deadline. While plot details are still under wraps, industry insiders are calling it a significant showcase of Pine’s range and indie appeal.

On the business front, Pine has just signed with Brillstein Entertainment Partners for management, ending a long relationship with his previous manager. Deadline Film + TV reports Pine will be represented by Doug Wald, who counts Emma Stone and Austin Butler among his clients—a move that may hint at even bigger Hollywood positioning for Pine going forward.

And the work does not stop there. Pine is set to both produce and star in the Lionsgate action thriller Run the Night, a high-octane Amsterdam-set project that reunites him with director Robert Alonzo. According to Variety, the film follows Pine as a banker with a mob bounty on his head—a role Pine described as “full of possibilities.”

Adding to his expanding slate, Pine is also confirmed to lead Nowhere Fast, a Texas crime thriller penned and directed by Noah Hawley of Fargo and Legion fame. AGC Studios announced the project—a gritty return to genre territory Pine last mined in Hell or High Water.

Publicly, Pine caught attention at the opening night of Waiting For Godot in New York, stepping out for a rare appearance with both his parents—a family sighting that drew plenty of commentary on social media and entertainment programs such as NSAShow. Off-duty, he was spotted enjoying time with girlfriend Keana Sky Wenger, with candid shots surfacing of them in line for a movie in their LA neighborhood, as shared by IMDb and Threads users.

There is also ongoing speculation about his involvement in Princess Diaries 3. Pine called the idea “fantastic” but admitted to AOL that he's currently in the dark about casting decisions, making clear all sequel rumors are unconfirmed at this stage.

Finally, Star Trek fans are hanging on Pine’s words after he voiced frustration with the franchise’s lack of momentum. Speaking to Esquire, Pine said he felt “clueless” about future Star Trek films, admitting the delays and unfulfilled promises are “frustrating.” While Paramount’s new leadership is prioritizing Star Trek, according to Deadline and CBR, Pine says he remains on the outside looking in, loving the role of Kirk but having little control over the franchise’s fate—a storyline with ongoing significance for both Pine and the industry.
