After years of sitting on Paramount Vantage's shelf collecting dust, "Carriers" is finally getting a theatrical release this September. You may be wondering what motivated the studio. I've got two words for you...Chris Pine.

With the skyrocketing success of "Star Trek", Paramount Vantage is clearly trying to capitalize of his new found fame with this release. And you know what, it's probably going to work. If you'd like to learn more about the movie and see the first trailer, it's after the jump:
