Chris Pine talks 'Star Trek' sequel, Denzel and more
"Star Trek's" new Captain Kirk dished on the next voyage of the Enterprise, plus working with Denzel Washington and more.
Chris Pine, star of the "Trek" reboot, talked to the Los Angeles Times' Dish Rag at a Hollywood Foreign Press Association luncheon about his upcoming projects. We already knew "Star Trek 2" was in the works, but Pine gives us a time frame -- they're hoping for a 2011 release date -- and a hint that the entire cast will return.

Pine also says he's thrilled to be working with Denzel on the on-again, off-again train-based thriller "Unstoppable." He almost didn't get the chance: Budget problems scuttled the film, and then led to Washington walking away from it. Luckily for the new cap'n, all has been resolved.
Finally, we'll see Pine alongside Piper Perabo for "Carriers," which follows four survivors of a world-ending viral pandemic.

Yes Im glad they are making another star trek, I never been a fan of star trek but the new one was awesome
I hope they're not really going to call the new one "Star Trek 2". It should be Star Trek 12. Why ignore the first 10 films in the franchise? Are we really going to have 2 movies called Stark Trek 2? Stupid!
They should probably do what they did when they started the Next Generation movies. Drop the numbers and just use the titles, such as Star Trek:Generations, Star Trek:First Contact, and the like. Especially since this series of movies is more of a reboot than a continuation of the old ones.
