Zachary Quinto in Negotiations to Play Spock in Star Trek XI ?

Features

According to CHUD.com, Heroes villain Zachary Quinto is "in negotiations" to play the young Spock in J.J. Abrams Star Trek XI movie.

Quinto told Starburst Magazine a few months ago, "When the news about the next Star Trek movie began to surface I became inundated with e-mails and links to websites where people were saying, 'Zach Quinto should play [young] Spock'. I started opening myself up to the idea and I think the exploration and immersion to be done with such a character would be amazing."

"I tend to be the type of personb who acts from a very visceral place and reacts emotionally to situations, and to 'become' a character that is completely the opposite of that is one of the reasons why I'm an actor. I would love the opportunity to understand what it is to only operate from a place of logic and look at things so specifically from that perspective."

If Quinto is indeed cast in Star Trek XI then that would require heavy retooling of the Heroes filming schedule as Star Trek's fall shoot would conflict with the series.

Official casting announcements for the movie are expected to be made at this month's Comic-Con in San Diego.

This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.

The original report can be found at CHUD.com.

I'm with you on this one...he'd be great, and much better 'hip' casting than Adrian Brody who has only prove one thing to me...he just has no wow factor. Quinto looks the part, where as Brody will just bring his usual boring charm...

So...yeah..I'm so with that...

Chaotic
