Chris Pine BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Chris Pine has had a remarkably active week, with developments across film, personal life, and public conversation sure to make both industry insiders and fans pay attention. On Halloween, horror circles buzzed as Stoic, a production and sales company, picked up worldwide sales rights for the film Labyrinth, featuring Chris Pine in its ensemble. The movie had its U.S. premiere at the FilmQuest festival on October 31 and is set to grab further attention as international sales launch at AFM in November. Genre fans and trade sources like ScreenDaily highlight that Labyrinth, directed by Ryuhei Kitamura, positions Pine alongside Mekhi Phifer and Chris Klein in a twisted survival scenario where strangers exposed for past transgressions face deadly challenges—a concept with the potential to gain cult status and expand Pine's genre portfolio.
Yet the biggest industry headlines circle back to Pine's upcoming indie feature Carousel opposite Jenny Slate, written and directed by Rachel Lambert. The project, wrapped in near-secrecy, already wrapped production in Cleveland and remains under the radar aside from the core fact that it is a love story with an unusually quirky supporting cast including Sam Waterston and Katey Sagal. Deadline and Just Jared note the film could usher Pine into another, perhaps more experimental, phase in his career—especially with Rachel Lambert at the helm following her acclaimed work with Daisy Ridley.
Meanwhile, the ghosts of blockbuster franchises continue to haunt Pine. In a new Esquire interview, Pine broke his silence on the long-stalled Star Trek 4, lamenting that he remains completely in the dark about its status. His candid comments—that the next Star Trek feels “cursed” and that actors are the last to know about franchise moves—have rippled through fan forums and entertainment outlets. Pine’s remarks strengthen perceptions of friction between creative talent and studio priorities, resonating as a broader industry commentary, especially with the shadow of Anton Yelchin’s tragic passing still looming.
Amid his professional momentum, Pine popped up in a renewed round of tabloid retrospectives thanks to Olivia Munn’s emotional Armchair Expert podcast appearance. Munn disclosed for the first time that her well-documented struggles with trichotillomania began during her high-profile relationship with Pine, brought on by the pressure of paparazzi attention. While the pair split years ago, Munn says they remain friendly, which adds human texture to Pine’s public image—reminded that behind every leading man is a private life under siege.
No major new social media posts from Pine himself have made headlines in the past days, but the carousel of news about him—franchise delays, indie darlings, insider revelations, and the echo of past relationships—ensures his name remains a trending topic with biographical staying power.
