Chris Pine To Star In Italian-Language Film ‘The Kidnapping of Arabella’

Buy Me A Coffee

Hold on to your espresso, because Chris Pine is about to embark on an adventure wilder than the plot of Star Trek – and it involves a lot less space, and a lot more Italian hand gestures.

Yes, that’s right, our favorite 44-year-old heartthrob – who has more poolside charm than the entire cast of Baywatch combined – is diving headfirst into a project that’s more foreign than his skincare routine. In a shocking plot twist, Chris has signed on to star in Il Rapimento di Arabella (because saying The Kidnapping of Arabella just doesn’t have the same spicy flair, does it?). And wait for it… he’s speaking Italian. That’s right, Pine is trading in his English and Klingon for some good ol’ “mamma mia!” and “bellissima!”

Variety, your friendly neighborhood source for Chris Pine updates (and also other news, probably), confirmed that our dear Chris has joined the cast of this dramatic-comedy – or “dramaedy” for the cultured few – directed by Carolina Cavalli. No relation to Roberto Cavalli, though we’d love to see Chris in a bedazzled jacket.

The plot? Oh, it’s a doozy. The film follows a character named Holly (played by Benedetta Porcaroli), a young misfit who’s so uncomfortable in her body that she makes a teenager at a school dance look like a runway model. But don’t worry, her reality is about to take a turn faster than a Vespa on cobblestone streets. She has a “chance encounter” with a child. Because that’s exactly what we all need when we’re feeling awkward – running into small humans with questionable motor skills.

Now, if you thought Chris Pine’s linguistic talents ended with the Italian menu at Olive Garden, think again. This man is multilingual! He’s also fluent in Spanish, so he could totally order tapas and tiramisu on the same night without breaking a sweat. ¡Muy bien, Chris!

As for the film’s production, it’s set to begin any day now. Will Chris Pine become Italy’s next great export, right alongside pizza and Luciano Pavarotti? Only time (and possibly subtitles) will tell. Stay tuned!
