Pine-ing Away

Star Trek hottie Chris Pine is getting ready to pick up where Bradley Copper left off.

The new Capt. Kirk is thisclose to taking the lead in This Means War, a new buddy comedy to be directed by McG co-starring Reese Witherspoon.

The movie pits two spying best friends against each other when they both fall for the same gal. The search for Pine’s sparring buddy is underway, and the plan is to start rolling in July.
