The Hollywood Reporter says that Star Trek star Chris Pine is in talks to join Denzel Washington in director Tony Scott’s action-thriller Unstoppable at 20th Century Fox.
The story centers on an experienced train engineer (Washington) about to be laid off as part of company cutbacks and the newbie (Pine) conductor hired to replace him. They find themselves in a race against time to stop an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train carrying enough combustible liquids and poisonous gas to wipe out a nearby city.
Mark Bomback wrote the script.
