The trailer of 'People Like Us' is out now. Directed by Alex Kurtzman, the film stars Chris Pine, Elizabeth Banks and Michelle Pfeiffer in the lead roles. AR Rahman has given the music for the film. The story of the film revolves around a man who is tasked with delivering money of his deceased father's fortune to the sister he has never met. Chris Pine and first-time director Alex Kurtzman have a few things in common. Both made names for themselves with large action movies like J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" and "Transformers" (Kurtzman as a writer and producer), and the upcoming film "People Like Us" marks a distinct change for both men.
"People Like Us" is the story of a young man who falls on hard financial times just as he learns that his recently deceased father has left a small fortune to a sister he doesn't know.
MTV News spoke with Pine about the change of pace for him and what it was like working with co-star Elizabeth Bank
Chris Pine: What attracted me to the film was just the quality of the writing. I was really interested in doing a film that was smaller scope than the films that I had done previously in the past couple years. This one was an intimate family drama, and I thought even the anomalous experience of someone finding out that their father had a completely separate family, everybody's got family dramas of their own. Certainly, though I can't relate to that specific experience, I can relate to having stuff in the family. This one takes place in the moment where all the stuff that's been brewing for years and years and years finally comes to a head and has to be dealt with.
