Quinto Reacts To Heroes Movie Cancellation

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

When Heroes was canceled, fans hoped that a movie would provide closure, but the word is that there will not be a Heroes movie after all, much to the disappointment of Zachary Quinto.

Quinto played Sylar in the NBC hit show that lasted for four seasons, and would have been on board for a movie. “It’s disappointing that there was such a lack of resolution,” said Quinto. “But unfortunately, that’s just the nature of network television. Nothing really surprises me in terms of network and studio bureaucracy. It’s the way it goes.

“If it was in their best interest, I’m sure they would have done it. And for whatever reason, they didn’t think it was. So that’s a bummer. But we have to just accept it and move on.”

Spock Will Miss Spock

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Zachary Quinto is a bit bummed that Leonard Nimoy won’t be on board for Star Trek XII.
