Star Trek to get sequel


Paramount pictures have announced that they are planning a sequel to the reboot of Star Trek, which hits cinemas worldwide on May 7th.

Variety reports that writers Robert Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof have been asked to deliver a script by Christmas this year, with a view to releasing the second film in the summer of 2011.

Lindelof told Variety; "There's obviously a lot of hubris involved in signing on to write a sequel of a movie that hasn't even come out yet, but we're so excited about the first one that we wanted to proceed."

"With a franchise rebirth, the first movie has to be about origin. But with a second, you have the opportunity to explore incredibly exciting things. We'll be ambitious about what we'll do."

Zachary has signed for three Star Trek films, which would see him possibly working on the project until 2013.

Zachary appaears at Ojai Playwrites Auction

A report from the Ojai Plays Gala Charity Auction.Likewise, money was the theme around which conference artistic director Robert Egan organized the show, a collection of play excerpts read by an all-star cast that included Van Dyke, Dana Delany of “Desperate Housewives” and Zachary Quinto, who is Mr. Spock in the “Star Trek” film due in theaters in May.

And raising a nice little pile of it was the reason for a post-show auction — at the nearby St. Thomas Aquinas Parish hall — that had Quinto flashing Spock’s split-fingered salute at the audience.

He did so in an effort to get the bidding going on a package that included a visit to the set of his NBC show, “Heroes.” Bidding had stalled at $750 when someone shouted out the suggestion that he sweeten the deal with tickets to the “Star Trek” premiere. Quinto hesitated, blushed furiously, acquiesced and then watched in amazement as the bidding raced to $4,000....

...Enter Quinto as the third friend. Playing devil’s advocate, he asks Weber’s character if the artist who created the painting is “fashionable.”

Then, sounding a lot like Spock, he adds that, in the world of contemporary art, such a question is “logical.”

Quite.


Whilst at the event Zachary accepted Neil Patrick Harris's invitation to present an award at the American Magic Association awards in March.
