Chris Pine Talks Star Trek in Auckland

Submitted by on April 16, 2009 13 Comments

Chris Pine who plays Captain Kirk in a new more edgy Star Trek talks at the Auckland Premiere of the movie. Kiwi rd of the Rings star Karl Urban stars as Dr. Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy also makes an appearance.

Karl has been in Shortland Street, appeared in Lord of the Rings and Xena Warrior Princess, a track that many Kiwi stars took to stardom (Zoe Bell, Lucy Lawless etc).

According to IMDB:

For filming the “Lord of the Rings” movies, he [Urban] realized that Eomer was a consummate horseman and he was nowhere near that level, so he invested a lot of time learning–six to eight weeks, five days a week, two hours a day. He wanted to learn to neck rein, a method of steering a horse using one hand while leaving the other hand free to wield a sword.

STAR TREK is a prequel to the original Star Trek. It chronicles of the early days of James T. Kirk and the USS Enterprise and therefore the crew is much younger than the team we know and love.

The film is directed by J.J. Abrams, produced by Damon Lindelof and Bryan Burk and written by Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman.
