Chris Pine, who portrayed Captain Kirk in three Star Trek films, recently expressed uncertainty about the franchise’s future during a Sundance interview, stating, "You probably know more than I do." The new Star Trek movie, written and directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, aims to revitalize the brand without continuing the J.J. Abrams timeline, meaning Pine will not reprise his role. He offered simple advice for the franchise’s new stewards: “Have fun, good luck, live long and prosper.” Meanwhile, Pine is promoting his new romantic drama Carousel, focusing on a single father’s emotional struggles, alongside Jenny Slate.
