Pine on Star Trek 2: "Not Making Batman"

In an interview with TotalFilm for their sci-fi issue, Chris Pine (Kirk) commented on Star Trek. As usual the cone of secrecy remains in place but he did make an interesting analogy to enforce the tone of Star Trek 2 that will be out next summer.

"We're not making Batman. That's not our deal," Pine told us.

"There's comedy, which I think J.J. does a great job of, but, like the first one, there's some serious issues being dealt with. And I'd say the threat is even greater in this one."

"The force [the Enterprise crew] are met with is much more frightening. It's relentlessly action-packed and in terms of character development it goes places you'd never expect. The arc is huge for all the characters. It's a really big story - I can't hype it enough!"
