Zachary Quinto

STAR TREK’S CHRIS PINE AND ZACHARY QUINTO CANNOT BE DESTROYED

As far as summer blockbusters go, Star Trek into Darkness is not the worst. The splendor of Imax (definitely see it in Imax) makes it seem important, and the 3D is tolerable and occasionally noteworthy. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Zoe Saldana are all appealing actors and add a bit of humor, while Benedict Cumberbatch and his booming voice provide the villainy. Of course if you enjoyed the thought provoking stories that Gene Roddenberry created for the TV series, you won’t get any of that, but the special effects are impressive. We don’t understand how fans could feel any kind of suspense watching prequel movies like this because they know the characters are not in any danger of being seriously hurt. All in all, the movie was less painful than Tom Cruise’s Oblivion.

ZACHARY QUINTO IS OUT AND ABOUT WITH JONATHAN GROFF

Star Trek’s Zachary Quinto came out as gay last October and a couple of months later he and “Glee’s” Jonathan Groff became a couple. Zachary just signed up to appear on season 2 of “American Horror Story.” The two actors been seen hanging out numerous times in Los Angeles and now they’re in New York and look to be having a good time.

ZACHARY QUINTO IS FINALLY GAY, SO GET USED TO IT

We sensed that Zachary Quinto, (Spock on the new Star Trek) who came out to New York magazine and via Twitter, has been wanting to come out as gay for a long time, but his management advised against it. Makes sense, he’s a leading man. But he was not comfortable avoiding the issue and didn’t want to fake it any longer. Hollywood insiders knew he was gay but perhaps some fans didn’t. He’s one of the few gay Hollywood actors who accepted gay roles. Closeted gay actors don’t like all those pesky reporters asking about what it’s like to “play gay” so they stay away from homosexual parts. Zachary played the parts and he showed up for gay causes. So it was just a matter of time before he came out, and we’re happy for him.

STAR TREK'S ZACHARY QUINTO HAS HIS EYEBROWS BACK

“Heroes” star Zachary Quinto slips in and steals the show as Spock in the new Star Trek. The movie is all about how The Enterprise crew came together in the beginning and it’s this human element that makes the action film palatable. Chris Pine makes a perfect cocky Captain Kirk, but you can’t take your eyes off Zachary. Quinto noted his resemblance to the original Spock, Leonard Nimoy, and talked about yearning to play the role back in 2006. Nimoy noticed, and the next thing you know, Quinto was cast. While filming, Zachary had to keep his prominent eyebrows shaved off for seven months. It was worth it. His subtle and elegant performance brings humanity to the character, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the original TV series.

ZACHARY QUINTO CAN'T TAKE HIS GLASSES OFF BECAUSE HE'S GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE

We told you how secretive the new Star Trek movie is, but it’s not interrupting Zachary Quinto’s social life. He went to a charity event in Beverly Hills this week with his Heroes costar Kristen Bell and he hid behind thick rimmed glasses. That’s because his eyebrows are plucked and arched for his role as the young Mr Spock.

PARAMOUNT IS KEEPING EVERYTHING ABOUT STAR TREK UNDER WRAPS

Paramount has been cloaked in secrecy since the Star Trek prequal commenced filming. (Zachary Quinto, above, is playing the young Mr Spock) The movie is now being mysteriously referred to as “The Executive Project.” Studio tours have been rerouted to avoid the “Executive Project” soundstage. Every actor and crew member has signed confidentiality agreements and guards are posted outside every stage door. When actors walk from stage to dressing rooms they wear long black cloaks with hoods to completely cover their costumes. Golf carts are totally shrouded in black fabric with an opening for the drivers eyes. Winona Ryder was annoyed because she wasn’t allowed to go outside and smoke so they built a 10X10 black tent outside the soundstage where she can puff privately. Looks like early photos of this film with be worth major bucks.
