Chris Pine is Unstoppable

Chris Pine got good reviews for his role as Captain James Kirk in J.J. Abrams' rebooted Star Trek movie, so many are watching what he chooses as his next role. Variety reports that he is negotiating to star alongside Denzel Washington in the action drama Unstoppable, which will be directed by Tony Scott.

Pine took "Unstoppable" over several other offers after a dinner Tuesday night with Washington and Scott. Production will begin in August for summer 2010 release.

Studio and Pine's reps are now working out a deal for him to play a young conductor who jumps into a locomotive with an experienced engineer (Washington) in chase of a runaway train that carries a cargo of toxic chemicals. Pic is loosely inspired by real events, and Mark Bomback wrote the script.

It sounds like Speed on a train, with Denzel. That could work.
