Chris Pine and Thandiwe Newton star in sexy spy thriller All The Old Knives
The best Chris is back, playing spies opposite the Westworld star
Film News All The Old Knives
Best Chris alert! Chris Pine and Thandiwe Newton are starring in All The Old Knives, a feature adaptation of the novel by Olen Steinhauer. The two play Henry and Celia, CIA agents and exes who are forced back into each others’ lives after years apart. Naturally, they still have incredible chemistry.
Things get a little more complicated than the awkwardness of breaking up with a coworker and still having to see them at the office–Henry’s investigating Celia for potentially being a double agent that led to a plane hijacking. It also appears that Henry has his own checkered past to reckon with. What is the truth behind the horrifying case that’s been haunting the CIA? More importantly, will Henry and Celia get back together?
From the trailer, this seems to be the kind of spy flick that’s more focused on mind games and effortlessly cool outerwear than action set pieces, and there’s definitely room for both when the coats look this good. (Newton also wears a beret at one point, and it looks great.)
If you’re a fan of both stars, you have plenty to look forward to this year. Newton has the fourth season of Westworld and the Big Mouth spinoff Human Resources forthcoming, while Pine stars in the films The Contractor and Don’t Worry Darling. Like the rest of us, he also just found out that he’s supposed to be back aboard the USS Enterprise to reprise the role of Captain James T. Kirk in a fourth Star Trek movie, planned for a 2023 release.
All The Old Knives also features Laurence Fishburne and Jonathan Pryce, and was directed by Janus Metz (True Detective). It will be available in theaters and streaming on Prime Video on April 8.

I love turtlenecks.
I believe in a spy thriller they’re tactlenecks
Oh ok.
Cool. So who’s Tinker and who’s Tailor?
Man, did he reach middle age fast.
Pine looks like Pierce Brosnan and Guy Pearce ran into each other and stuck.He’s the third best Chris.
Put your glasses back on, he’s clearly the best Chris…with Evans just behind him…large member pressing against Pine’s buttocks…excuse me, I have to go…for a walk.
That’s so fucking hot. Did Guy, Pierce, Brosnan?
It’s Chris Christie, Christopher Cross, Chris Columbus (filmmaker), Jesus Chris and then Chris Pine.
haha. Well done.
Excuse me?!
Pine looks like Pierce Brosnan and Guy Pearce ran into each other and stuck…and this is a bad thing, how?
This looks like it could be more in the vein of Duplicity, one of my very favorite underseen movies.
I need to know what music is playing in the background of this trailer.
Always assume Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah.’
But an even more slowed down acoustic version.
Wait, so this is a Zack Snyder movie? Who plays the damaged teenage girl who comes from a damaged background who is both cute and damaged and is in a damaged situation and finds out that she’s actually a super-secret spy whose memory was and that’s why she’s damaged – but also cute?
Vivaldi with a backbeat.
Chris Evans is in this?
So, just getting into SuperMansion (now that Amazon Prime acquired it (or osmosis, or whatever they do now) and was pretty surprised to find “Crisp Ine” (was that from Angie Tribeca?!?) voiced Dr. Deviso and several more…
No idea but now I kinda want to rewatch Angie Tribeca.
I’m glad Chris Pine is doing alright. I really like him and I was worried he’d get pigeonholed after Star Trek.

Read and loved this book; its really great as are most of Steinhauer’s books, especially the Yalta Boulevard books.
Back from his month long bender in Mallorca and sobering up in St. Moritz, he got his script at a Days Inn in San Fernando when he woke up. Thank goodness he has his assistant Dudley, who mouths all his lines to him over the shoulder of his co-stars.
This looks sexy. There, I said it. It looks sexy as f*ck.
A non-traditional May-December romance? Mindbending!
I don’t think Newton is old enough or the age gap large enough to justify “December”.
A non-traditional HOLLYWOOD May-December romance, then.
Sure, but I don’t think Thandie Newton would want to be thought of as ‘December’ even in Hollywood terms.
You spelled her name wrong. Goodbye!
yeah, you consider her an old crone. I think I know who she would prefer! Goodbye.
She’s 8 years older than he is, a difference that wouldn’t be remarked upon by anyone, anywhere if he were the older of the two.
Jesus that is a beautiful man
The only Chris who isn’t top notch is Chris Pratt, IMO.
