Chris Pine & Zachary Quinto Navigate New Zealand

Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto look dapper on the sky deck for the premiere of Star Trek at Sky City on Wednesday (April 9) in Auckland, New Zealand.

Rumors have been swirling around Chris Pine who was said to have been attached to the lead role of a new film about the superhero Green Lantern. “No, I had a meeting with [casting director] Pam Dixon and [executive producer] Donald De Line, but a meeting was all it was,” Chris told MTV News. “I have not been offered squat. I do not have the part and haven’t read a script.”

“I’m not a big comic book fan, I’m a fan of stories,” Chris said. “So if there’s a story to be told, I love to tell a good story. But there’s not a particular superhero or comic book character that I’d like to play.”

Zachary Quinto Looks Spock-tacular

Check out this new Star Trek promo of Zachary Quinto as Spock, complete with the infamous pointy Vulcan ears. Below is an early look at the new crew of the Enterprise from the summer 2009 J.J. Abrams franchise reboot. Chris Pine as James T. Kirk, Eric Bana as Romulan villain Nero, Karl Urban as McCoy and John Cho as Sulu.

Here’s a snippet from Entertainment Weekly’s cover story:

Is the world ready again for Trek’s optimistic vision of the future? Some involved with the film suspect the presidential election may have a dramatic effect on how Star Trek will be perceived. “This is a franchise that offers hope for unity—and so does Barack Obama,” says Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock. “When this movie comes out, and Obama is presi­dent, hopefully there will be some parallels.”
