Tony Scott’s Unstoppable might sign Chris Pine to star opposite Denzel Washington. If Pine signs on his role as a newbie conductor will be his first since starring in Star Trek. 

According to THR, the story revolves around an experienced train engineer (Washington) about to be laid off as part of company cutbacks and the newbie conductor (Pine) hired to replace him.  They find themselves in a race against time to stop an unmanned, half-mile-long freight train carrying enough combustible liquids and poisonous gas to wipe out a nearby city.
