Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, and Tom Hardy were back to filming some action packed scenes for their new film This Means War on a closed down freeway interchange in Los Angeles.

The actors could be seen shooting scenes involving a gun fight and a car chase. Reese, sporting a short leather jacket, also shot a few car scenes with Chelsea Handler.

Quite often when a major summer tentpole movie has a star that’s bring touted as “the next big thing,” they very rarely make the transition. Don’t believe me? What’s your favorite non-”Star Wars” film with Hayden Christensen, or the best non-”Superman” movie with Brandon Routh?

But something tells me that “Star Trek” star Chris Pine will not fall into the pit of despair both of those actors did. I believe he’ll seamlessly segue into the mainstream, taking a post “X-Men” page out of Hugh Jackman’s book.

Director Kevin Smith agrees, since he told MTV.com, “[Chris is] such a good actor. I’d watch that dude do anything … I’d watch that dude have sex with my wife at this point.”

You know, Kev, filming and distributing that encounter is potentially the only thing that would redeem you in my eyes after “Zach and Miri Make A Porno.” Just sayin.

Sometimes I feel like actors on the run for movie promo gets teleported from one place to another, one day in France, the next day in Japan, morning in Spain evening in London …

Chris Pine after being teleported from Japan where he opened the premiere of Star Trek like 15 hours ago was spotted grabbing a coffee in Silver Lake … on his own!

I happened to catch Star Trek‘s Chris Pine on Letterman the other night and during his amiable segment, he mentioned that he comes from a showbiz family: Both of his parents were actors, as was his grandmother — who, apparently, was hot enough to be painted on the fuselage of at least one WWII bomber. In passing, he mentioned that his dad was on CHiPs, and then it clicked: Chris’ dad was Robert Pine, Jon and Ponch’s stalwart sergeant, Joseph Getraer.

If this family is good for nothing else, they turn out men who look damned good in a uniform.

Am I the only one who didn’t know this already?
