Earlier tonight I attended the Hollywood Awards in Beverly Hills and managed to do a number of interviews on the red carpet. Over the next 24 hours you can expect all of them to be online, but up first is an interview with Chris Pine.
While most people still donât know who Chris Pine isâ¦thatâll all change next summer. Thatâs because Chris is the new Captain Kirk in J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie. In fact, Iâd imagine his life will change next month when the trailer is released.
But before getting to the interviewâ¦a funny story from tonight which illustrates what I just said about Chrisâ life and how it'll change.
Since Iâm not Entertainment Tonight or Access Hollywood, I get placed pretty far back on the red carpet. Iâm not complaining about thisâ¦far from it. TV shows with millions of viewers clearly deserve a better spot than Collider.com. But from the end of the line I can observe a few thingsâ¦like who is getting stopped at every outlet and who walks the carpet without doing too many interviews.
Example. Ron Howard walked the carpet tonight and every outlet wanted a piece of him. Same with James Franco and most of the A-list actors.
But while Chris Pine was stopped a few times, it was very clear that most of the outlets had no idea Chris was the new Captain Kirkâ¦or they just didnât care. Because as soon as I saw Chris walking near me I practically shrieked like a little girl for the Jonas Bros. Luckily, I recently interviewed Chris for his indie movie Bottle Shock, so he wasnât frightened and actually came over to talk.
Figured you might want to know the behind the scenes of the nightâ¦
Look for more video interviews tonight and tomorrow from the Hollywood Awards. And a big thanks to Chris for answering my questionsâ¦
Chris Pine
- I ask if heâs heard that Kevin Smith has seen Star Trek and has sort of reviewed it
- Fandom seems to be very excited for Star Trek, I ask if heâs feeling the love
- I ask what heâs working on nowâ¦he says leisure time
- While itâs a generic questionâ¦.I asked what it was like to find out heâd be playing Captain Kirk and what were his experiences on setâ¦
