Chris Pine Wants ‘A-Team’ Role

I remember seeing Chris Pine as Darwin Tremor in Joe Carnahan’s insane ‘Smokin’ Aces’ and thinking to myself, “This guy is gonna break out.” Â  Well, it’s happened. Â  Not only is he the lead in one of this Summer’s biggest blockbusters, he’s now throwing his name into the hats of other, big budget retreads.

Pine recently spoke with MTV where he revealed his desire to reteam with Carnahan on the feature film remake of ‘The A-Team.’

“The [film] that I’ve had the most fun on was this movie called ‘Smokin’ Aces’ that Joe Carnahan directed – the guy that did ‘Narc’ and now he’s doing ‘The A-Team,’† Pine told MTV. “I played a neo-Nazi redneck hitman, which is about the farthest thing from me you can get. It was the most fun I had, because it was such a character.†

As far as which ‘A-Team’ character Pine wants, there’s no question.

“Murdock is my man,† he revealed, saying he wants to create a “Howling Mad† character along the same lines as the insane ‘Smokin’ Aces’ performance Carnahan steered him into. “I love Murdock.†

Carnahan is currently working on ‘The A-Team’ script which has been quite the hot potato project in Hollywood these last few years. Â  This is the furthest anyone has gotten with actually bringing the film to completion, and, if ‘Star Trek’ does as well as everyone hopes, Pine will surely be able to step into any roles he wants.

Vinnie Jones is ‘Wedlocked’ and ‘Aces’

I just couldn’t resist using that picture. Â  I don’t know what’s funnier, Vinnie Jones walking a catwalk or seeing him casually flip someone the bird.

You gotta give credit to any major production that puts the guy in their film. Â  He is a hardcore badass the likes of very few can match. Â  Well, it appears we’re going to be getting a double dosage of the Juggernaut, bitch, ’cause Jones has signed onto two films, ‘Wedlocked’ and the prequel ‘Smokin’ Aces: Blowback’.

In ‘Wedlocked,’ Jones plays a Croatian mobster who attempts to kidnap his crush, who is on her honeymoon with the American man she married to get U.S. citizenship. Dave Annable and Katharine McPhee previously were cast in writer-director Rob Hedden’s film.

In ‘Blowback,’ Jones plays an assassin gunning for a mob snitch who is hiding in Las Vegas. Tom Berenger, Clayne Crawford, Tommy Flanagan and Maury Sterling also will star in the film. P.J. Pesce is set to helm the direct-to-DVD release. Â  The original ‘Smokin’ Aces’ director, Joe Carnahan, will serve as the film’s producer.

You can next see Mr. Jones cracking skulls in the June release of ‘Year One’.

Costas Mandylor promptly exploded from spontaneous combustion due to all the friggin’ testosterone found elsewhere in the picture.

‘Smokin’ Aces’ prequel is a go…

I just got an email from a reader that Joe Carnahan updated his ‘Smokin Aces’ blog saying that a prequel had been green-lit. I thought a prequel would be super badass from the beginning because they didn’t really go that in depth about how Buddy Israel really effed everyone over. Here is the official word from Joe’s blog

Universal has officially green-lit the prequel and we are underway. Cameos will abound. Trust me.
