Zachary Quinto is close to landing his first post Star Trek role in the romantic comedy Whirligig. Quinto would play a man who tries to woo an older woman and ends up becoming buddies with her son in this Canadian indie. Quinto has been super selective about his next film role and several contingencies must be met before he officially signs on. The first: casting Jennifer Coolidge as the older woman. Chaz Thorne is directing the pic, based on a screenplay by Michael Amo, creator of the Canadian supernatural series “The Listener.”[Risky Business/THR]
