Star Trek - movie
Release Date: May 8, 2009 (US)

Paramount released several clips of the film that show glimpses of the main character’s personalities.

The first Star Trek clip “Disease and Danger” (at Yahoo! Movies) showed Dr. Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy (Karl Urban) getting all antsy as a shuttle prepares to take off with passengers, and he happens to sit beside James Kirk (Chris Pine). Ugh, Urban sounds so convincing with the popping-eyeballs comment!

Kirk tries to hit on Uhura (Zoe Saldana) in a bar and stirs up trouble, in the clip “A Shot at Love” (MTV Movies). You can tell this Kirk guy is a trouble-maker everywhere he goes, including inside a warp-speeding Starfleet! (“Answer Me” clip at Apple) Is this the first time Kirk meets Spock (Zachary Quinto)? Make Spock angry?! Kirk is kidding, right, he obviously doesn’t know the guy yet. But then again, Kirk’s attitute may just get Spock to emote later in the film! Oh, but did you get a look at the fleet’s bridge? OMG everything is glass! So different from the awkward, bulky days of Shatner!

Whereabouts and news about the “Heroes” cast:

Hayden Panettiere will present at the Golden Globes! The “66th Annual Golden Globes” award show will air live on NBC at 8 p.m. from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Sunday.

Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine (of the upcoming “Star Trek” movie) were also asked to present at the Golden Globes awards.

Masi Oka was signing autographs when someone heckled him. This happened when Masi appeared in the Regis and Kelly show late November 2008.

Greg Grunberg has a really cool website, greggrunberg.com. You have got to see it!

Zachary Quinto was asked how he got the part of Spock (Star Trek), and what the hairstyle did to his image.

Season 2 villain David H. Lawrence XVII is on Twitter! David will be back on Heroes Fugitives as the Puppet Master Eric Doyle. In fact, he talked to ODI about the set pictures taken of him and Claire.

Come spring, Sylar and Lex Luthor will be sharing one thing - the same villainous father!

TVGuide.com confirmed that Smallville’s John Glover will come on board "Heroes" as Sylar’s father, in the next volume Fugitives.

Unfortunately, Glover’s arrival will pose some challenges for the resident evil.

Ausiello at EW first broke the news via a "Heroes" insider: "When Sylar meets his father, he’s going to see a path ahead of him that he doesn’t want to take. He has a lot more in common with his father than he realized."

John Glover and Zachary Quinto look strangely alike, at least in the photos above. Eerie, but this is the best thing to ever happen to Sylar, and maybe give Heroes a boost at the ratings.

Heroes season 3 is messing with the Petrelli family. First, future Claire shoots a future uncle Peter. Before the bullet hits, the future Peter goes back in time and shoots present big brother Nathan to prevent him from making a muck of the future.

Then we read spoilers that Nathan and Peter have another brother, which until confirmed, will be called Sylar. Mama Petrelli even warns her beloved son to prepare himself for the future.

Now, another revelation shows just how messed up this family is.

Future Sylar has a son named Noah. Even more shocking would be the mother’s identity.

Kristin dos Santos confirms: Yes, it’s true. In the future, Sylar has a four-year-old named Noah (which has to be in memory or honor of our Noah Bennet, aka H.R.G.), and according to Zachary Quinto, Sylar’s baby mama is “silver-tongued and alive”.

Who might the mama be? Kristin guesses it’s Kristen Bell’s Elle. My guess? The son is named in honor of the grandfather.

Is the son hero or villain?

MTV cornered Zachary Quinto at the rooftop of Hard Rock Hotel at the SD Comic Con ‘08, and got him to talk about Heroes season 3, Star Trek and walking down the Comic Con halls.

About Heroes season 3 plot and Sylar’s character: Some of the pairings of characters (season 1) will be revisited for season 3. Sylar will begin to display “some restraint against his instinctual desire to kill.” I wonder if these are references to Sylar teaming up with HRG and Claire.

Watch the interview for more of Sylar, Spock and Zach.
