Chris Pine Wisely Thinking Past Event-Films; In Talks For Mud
Mon, May 16, 2011 
Still hesitant regarding the fate of that Jack Ryan reboot and with Star Trek 2, it's a matter of if they stick with that June 2012 release date or push it back to December. But Chris Pine continues to show how smart he and his representation are by their thinking long-term career-wise instead of cashing-on post Star Trek. Could you imagine if he'd done Green Lantern?
24 Frames says he's in talks to headline the coming-of-age drama Mud from writer/director Jeff Nichols:
"Nichols' new movie will center on two 14-year-boys who come across an adult fugitive of the law, the titular Mud (who would be played by Pine) and must help him escape off an island in the Mississippi. The ambiguity of the story lies with Mud, who is both an unsavory and a redemptive character and who teaches the boys as much as he learns from them"
As I've said before, it's smart to show audiences you can effectively play beyond your signature role while you still have time to avoid type-casting instead of sitting around and doing nothing but your gravy-train franchise until it comes to a screeching halt. Hello, Tom Welling?

this guy would make a better Hal Jordan than the actor chosen, he'd make a better Steve Rogers than the one chosen, He'd make a better Clint Barton, a better Scott Summers, a better WallyWest/Barry Allen...etc
the list goes on, why star trek?
