Chris Pine has revealed that he felt under 'tremendous pressure' as he stepped into the role of Captain Kirk in the new Star Trek movie.
The little known Pine has taken over the mantle of Captain James T. Kirk from William Shatner in the movie which sees the franchise go back to the beginning.
In an interview with Men's Health magazine he said: "When I started Trek I looked at it, and then I was climbing it, and I didn't have time for anything else but climbing the thing and getting to the top.
"And that's an incredible space to exist in, because there's tremendous responsibility."
"There's tremendous pressure. But all those just clarify your vision."
Pine joins Heroes' Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl urban, Zoe Saldana and Eric Bana in J.J Abrams' movie that sees the crew of the Enterprise come together for the first time.
