It’s been a busy week for a certain young Vulcan. Zachary Quinto’s first effort as a producer, the Wall Street thriller “Margin Call,” in which he also stars, hits theaters on Friday. On the eve of the film’s New York premiere, Quinto acknowledged publicly that he’s gay for the first time. In our interview in Thursday’s newspaper, Quinto talks about the meaning of this moment to him, on a personal and professional level.

Quinto’s “Margin Call” role shares a lot in common with Spock — he plays a brainy young investment bank analyst.

Abrams’ long-awaited “Star Trek” sequel, which starts production in January.

“There’s a big sequence for me that I have to prepare for in this movie physically so I’m training, working on getting in some serious shape, building my cardio endurance, preparing to run a lot,” Quinto said. (more…)

Urbanite has posted an interview with Chris and Zach, and I added it to our press archive.

Zachary Quinto: Well considering it’s my first film…I imagine that it probably will. I hope. I don’t know. I mean I come from mostly a television background. So the fact that my first movie is you know a $160 million tent pole I think that’s a good – that’s a good way to get into it you know? But yeah, I mean in the success a movie this big I think will have hopefully a positive impact on – on where both of us go and where all of us go as actors.

So – so the hope is that people will feel the same way and we’ll get to do other stuff down the line.
