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.
