Back in June we learned that Warner Bros. Studios is working on a big screen adaptation of the classic DC Comics series based on The Flash and today we learn that Chris Pine, who famously stars as the young James T. Kirk in the JJ Abrams reboot of Star Trek, is reportedly the man WB wants in the red suit. Now that Green Lantern will make his big screen debut next Spring, Warner Bros. is lookin’ to put other DC heroes in theaters, as well … chief among those heroes, The Flash:
Chris Pine is rumored to be up for the starring role in Warner Bros’s long-awaited film adaptation of the DC Comics superhero The Flash. Screen Rant claims that Pine is currently the studio’s first choice to take on the iconic role of speedster The Flash, although it is still uncertain which incarnation of the character he could play. Earlier this year, it was announced that Green Lantern scribe Marc Guggenheim would co-write the script alongside Michael Green and Greg Berlanti. In an interview with Newsarama, Guggenheim hinted that the current version of the script focuses on original Flash Barry Allen. Pine was previously rumored for the lead role in Captain America before the part eventually went to Chris Evans. It is thought that The Flash is slated for release in 2013.
With Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern and Chris Evans as Captain America, it only makes sense that fellow hottie Chris Pine should get in on the big screen superhero action. To be honest, in these big screen hero films, it seems like good looks takes precedence over acting ability … I mean, let’s be real … there won’t be any real acting involved in any of these CGI action movie masterpieces. These studios need good looking faces to wrap in those vivid superhero costumes … and that’s pretty much it. Cast an equally pretty female face to put on the heroes’ arms, add tens of millions in special effects and voila! Chris Pine was fantastic in Star Trek, so the guy can really act … not that he’d need to, that is. I love the idea of Chris Pine as Barry Allen/The Flash … do you?
