Quinto Gearing Up For ‘Imminent’ Star Trek Sequel (& Eyebrow Shaving)

[align=center][/align]


On Friday Zachary Quinto’s new movie Margin Call opens and the actor says that after he finishes up his latest publicity trip he is headed back to LA to prep for the Star Trek sequel which he says is "imminent." Quinto also talks about facing getting his eyebrows shaved again to play Spock. See below for excerpts and videos of Quinto talking Trek.



Quinto also talked to Access Hollywood about American Horror story and Star Trek, noting that he expects to be shaving his eyebrows again around the end of the year. [NOTE: This would still be for pre-production as production doesn't start until 2012].

Zachary is also featured in the November issue of Details magazine which has an interview. He speaks briefly about the Star Trek movie and his least favorite part of playing Spock:

Details: When can we expect to see you in the next Star Trek film?

Zachary Quinto: People will have a better idea when they see me walking down the street with shaved eyebrows. That’s definitely the most tedious part of playing Spock. The first time, it took three weeks for them to come back in a way that I didn’t have to wear my glasses every day to hide them. It was probably two months before they were really thick and bushy again.

Quinto Star Trek prep "Imminent" + not looking forward to eyebrow shaving

While promoting Margin Call, Zachary Quinto talked about the sequel to Star Trek saying that it was on the "imminent horizon" and he would be headed back to Los Angeles to prep for it and it would start shooting "in the beginning of the year." Noting that while he hasn’t read the script, "everyone is gearing up" and  "getting back into that head space."

that's something we can all agree on. star trek 2 is a guaranteed contender in any race for best trek movie.

i personally go into jj trek with a lower expectation, i know i'm not gonna love it as much as the first incarnation of trek, but that's true with anything rebooted, jj trek is also for the new generation of trek fans. and with these lower expectations i am ok with jj trek.

Yeah im going in with lower expectations too.
Im personally wondering who the main antagonist is going to be, the last one was meh. I want someone who can survive the movie to come back in the next one, maybe they can end the movie with the crew stranded or something, would build hype for a 3rd.

i think it will be nero again, he probably burned a copy cloned himself so he could get payback on vulcan blow up earth for no reason.

If they recycle the villain with one of the worst motivations in a film ever, I won't ever watch it.

1) The current Star Trek Ongoing series of comics will lead up to the second movie and will introduce an important character(good or bad we wont know yet).

2) The 2012 co-op game will also directly tie into the movie. More info and the trailer ofcourse can be found in an earlier thread here.
