HEMSWORTH AND PINE OUT OF STAR TREK 4

Star Trek 4 Hits the Rocks as the Franchise Waits for Tarentino

Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth will not star in the planned Star Trek 4. Both were in negotiations but talks between the actors, Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media have fallen apart. Once they were signed then negotiations were to have begun with Zoe Saldana, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg and John Cho. Pine was due to return as Captain Kirk, while Hemsworth was to have played his father in a time-traveling adventure. Since both are considered A-list actors they expected to be paid the going rate but accuse the producers of forcing them to take a cut in pay to return for the movie. Pine, in particular, had a deal already set so he had no interest in getting paid less than he did for the previous films. And of course Hemsworth has Marvel money. Paramount has had a regime change since 4 was announced and they don’t want to stick to what was already agreed to so the film is in limbo even though the script is done and Jessica Jones’ S. J. Clarkson has been hired to direct it. Paramount could fast track the Quentin Tarantino R-rated version of Trek but that film is years away from happening. According to Simon Pegg QT is focused on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that he hasn’t done anything aside from giving the idea to The Revenant’s Mark L. Smith to turn it into a screenplay. Karl Urban says the idea is using the current cast of the film so Paramount may have to settle up with Pine to keep QT on the project. Urban says that even though the film is expected to aim for an R-rating we will not get a lot of swearing or nudity.
