Star Trek 2 photos; Nimoy, Quinto television news
March 9th, 2012Star Trek 2 began filming this past January and as with the first film, there’s been a tight lid on the plot details and set photos. Despite this, a number of set photos featuring Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, and Trek newcomer Benedict Cumberbatch leaked just a few weeks ago. We will not be posting said photos here (at least not yet), but we will link you to Trek Movie, who has the scoop. We’re pretty excited and can’t wait to learn more!
In television news, Zachary Quinto will be returning to American Horror Story in season two as a series regular, though he will be playing a different character than in season one. Season two begins filming this summer and will air on FX in October. It seems that Leonard Nimoy is also returning to television, as a cameo on an upcoming episode of The Big Bang Theory, airing March 29 on CBS. He will be voicing Spock in a dream sequence. Series star Kaley Cuoco tweeted this photo of herself and Nimoy on the set.

” It is my intention to live an authentic life… “
October 16th, 2011Zachary Quinto has identified himself as a gay man in a New York Magazine profile and elaborated on his reasons for coming out in a post on his blog.
While some related news articles mention the on-screen romance between Quinto’s Spock and Zoe Saldana’s Uhura, none have touched on the Star Trek fan culture/ subtext that pairs Spock with James T. Kirk. To read about the phenomenon, check out our article on Slash in the Fandom section.

So much for retirement!
April 13th, 2011As of last April, Leonard Nimoy was retired from acting. However, it seems a couple of projects have managed to bring him back out again. Firstly, Fringe’s latest promo (don’t worry, it’s non-spoilery!) for this Friday’s episode teases Nimoy’s reprisal of character William Bell; he teased us on Twitter about the return back in January. Nimoy also recently recorded two sessions for this summer’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon, in which he will voice “long lost Autobot leader” Sentinel Prime. (You may recall that he voiced Galvatron in 1986’s animated Transformers: The Movie.)
Of course, Nimoy is also being rumoured to to be the voice of the dragon Smaug in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. I, for one, would love to hear him voice Smaug and I hope something comes of this particular rumour!

Also, five new tunes appear in the Jukebox, including two from William Shatner. Like Leonard Nimoy, the Shat is also 80 years old this year, and still kicking. Celebrate with a hearty round of Mr. Tambourine Maaaaaan~ !
