Chris Pines’ new movie with Thandiwe Newton, “All The Old Knives,” hits theaters April 8 and centers on the story of two former lovers turned spies, according to IndieWire. It promises to be a captivating watch, especially since Newton has publicly said that she will only take on roles if they have “something to sink my f****** teeth into,” per IndieWire. And for Pine, “the heart of [the film] is this love story,” as he revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. As with any great love story, the film required intimate scenes, which is something that made Newton “nervous,” according to Entertainment Tonight. “[Chris and I] had a really intense scene … [that] was really important and required nudity and so on,” she told the outlet. “And I just caught a glimpse of Chris at one point … and I’m like, ‘Oh, no, no. No.” Thankfully, Pine “is such a sweetie,” Newton added.
Though Pine didn’t explicitly confess to nerves, it was the first time he had ever worked with an intimacy director, according to a Variety interview. “You’re doing a sex scene in a bedroom and you have this older woman that’s watching and giving you notes on how to do the sex scene and I’m thinking, ‘Who is this person telling me to have sex?'” Pine laughed, though he called the whole experience “wonderful.” Somehow, we’re not surprised to hear that the actor was just as charming on-set as he appears to be in real life.
