Chris Pine in Negotiations to Star in the Art of Making Money

by POPSUGAR Entertainment 2

Chris Pine can thank Star Trek for a beamed-up career: the new Captain Kirk is in talks to star in The Art of Making Money.

The film is based on the true story of Art Williams, who went from petty thievery to master counterfeiter. Pine would play Williams, and there's also a possibility that DJ Caruso (who helmed Eagle Eye and Disturbia) will direct.

I'm glad Pine is blazing a trail for the other breakout stars of the Summer (like his Star Trek cohorts). He's also currently filming a movie with the apt title Unstoppable.
