Zachary Quinto’s production company Before The Door Pictures is teaming with Killer Films to produce “Imperial Palace,” a love story that takes place in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It’s not known whether Quinto will appear in the film.

“Imperial Palace” centers on a Biloxi man who manages a casino that FEMA uses as headquarters for their relief efforts in the area. An ex-girlfriend also arrives on the scene, sparking an uncomfortable love triangle.

Killer Films’ Christine Vachon and Pam Koffler are producing with Quinto Neal Dodson and Corey Moosa. The film will be directed by Victor Quinaz (the upcoming “TWV Project,” also produced by Quinto), and is scheduled to start shooting next spring. (more…)

Zach has just posted it on his Facebook:

LOS ANGELES: Actor/Producer ZACHARY QUINTO and Producer NEAL DODSON will appearing for a special post-show “MARGIN CALL” Q&A at the 7 PM show at the Century City AMC on Saturday, 10/29. Buy your tickets now before they sell out!

More info on selling tickets will be posted as soon as I get it.

Actor-producer Zachary Quinto is in firm control of his world, with ‘Margin Call,’ his production company Before the Door’s first feature, set to premiere.

In late 2008, “Margin Call” looked like the kind of film project that could languish indefinitely: an unfinanced script from a first-time writer-director on a wonkish subject — the math behind Wall Street’s recent collapse.

Then Spock beamed in.

Zachary Quinto had just wrapped filming on J.J. Abrams’ reboot of “Star Trek,” playing the pointy-eared young Starfleet Academy commander, and his NBC show “Heroes” had a cult following. He had formed a production company with two drama school friends and was looking for projects, so he met “Margin Call” writer-director J.C. Chandor at the Fairfax Farmers Market on the recommendation of a mutual friend. (more…)

Zach attended last night the Margin Call premiere in New York. I added the first batch of HQ/MQ pictures to the gallery:

After launching his production shingle Before The Door Pictures with the JC Chandor-directed Margin Call, Star Trek star Zachary Quinto is teaming with Anonymous Content on a second project. It’s an untitled “found footage” romantic comedy that will be produced by Quinto and his partners Neal Dodson and Corey Moosa, with shooting to begin tomorrow in New York. Victor Quinaz will direct, and Anonymous Content’s Steve Golin and Richard Brown are also producing. Anonymous is co-financing with Fred Schaufeld, who’ll be the film’s executive producer. The pic’s premise is being kept under wraps, but the script was written by Quinaz, Anna Martemucci and Philip Quinaz. It’s a mix of scripted and improv comedy, with an ensemble cast of comics who’ve performed in Periods Films web shorts seen on Funny or Die and other websites. (more…)

Zachary Quinto grows a tiny mustache and gets ready for a bull fight in his latest video for FunnyOrDie.com, Before After! He plays a matador, a priest preparing to perform an exorcism on a possible “bluffer” and a birthday party clown in the brand new short, comprised of three vignettes.

“before. after. all at once. in just a few hours. hurry. olé,” Zachary tweeted late last night.

Zach has just posted on his Twitter a picture on set of Margin Call, alongside the fellows Corey Moosa and Neal Dodson.
As previously announced, the project is set to be released in September, and Zach is also producer (with Before the Door).
