Call it Training Day—with trains.
Chris Pine, in his first post-Star Trek film role, is teaming up with double Oscar winner Denzel Washington in Unstoppable, Tony Scott's film about a train engineer about to be laid off who must first break in his young replacement, says the Hollywood Reporter.
Oh, and the two unlikely allies must try to stop a runaway locomotive loaded with explosives and toxic gas before it goes off the rails and kills everyone in sight.
Awkward!
In other casting news…
• Robert Pattinson will have a new someone to be linked to in the tabloids as Lost's Emilie de Ravin joins the cast of Remember Me, the Twilight star's next film. According to Variety, R.Pattz and de Ravin's characters have contrasting responses to the death of loved ones: He's all glum, she's all carpe diem.
Moms forced to take their Pattz-smitten teens to see this, take note: Pierce Brosnan is in it, too. So, you know, there's a little something for everybody.
• Blame WALL-E. Pixar's adorable robot clearly got folks at Dimension thinking about Short Circuit, the 1986 flick about a military 'bot named Johnny 5 who learns to love both peace and Steve Guttenberg. The original writers have been brought back to reboot the story, confirms the studio.
• Jason Priestley is going online. Not to google himself—as far as we know—but as director of the TheWB.com's new web series The Lake, producers announced. A coming-of-age story for the digital age attention span, the 12 eps ordered will run 10 minutes or less.
