'Star Trek Into Darkness' First Look: What In the Hell Is Spock Doing? — PIC
October 05, 2012 1:39pm ESTAt long last, the world gets a glimpse at J.J. Abrams' developing Star Trek Into Darkness movie — a sequel to the director's first big screen endeavor with the franchise. The younger of us have been awaiting this moment since 2009, when Abrams' Star Trek hit theaters. But some have endured the longing since 2003's Nemesis, since The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine in the early '90s, since the glory days of Wrath of Khan in '82, and even as far back as the inception of the original series... in 2260. And now, we get a look into the world that Abrams has created with his second foray into the Star Trek franchise. On Thursday night, the director showcased a three-frame clip (the equivalent of a still image, which lasts for about a tenth of a second) during an appearance on Conan, confirming the shot to depict Spock (Zachary Quinto) inside a volcano. But what exactly Spock might be doing is still very much a mystery. Of course, one tenth of a second isn't enough time to really earn any context on a situation, so we're bound to root our theories elsewhere: past incarnations of Star Trek, of Abrams, of Quinto, of volcanoes... of pretty much any bit of pop culture we can wrangle to explain the above image. One of these guesses has got to be at least close, right? Spock is actually exploring the glowing cave from Lost "Volcano" could mean anything. Sure, it usually means "volcano," but perhaps here, it means "majestic cave of liquid energy." And maybe Spock, as a Vulcan, has the ability to explore the cave without being transformed into a monstrous cloud of smoke. That's a handy skill, you know. There's probably some good stuff in there. "Fire everything!" Remember towards the end of Abrams' Star Trek, when the villainous Captain Nero (Eric Bana) shouted, "Fire everything!"? Well, that sounded like a good idea to the director, who appears to have applied it very literally here. Okay, that wasn't so much a theory as it was just a horrible pun... but honestly, isn't that just as good? Sylar killed a dragon, became a fire-breather Although we opt not to recall Quinto's turn on the great-then-horrible sci-fi drama Heroes, it is interesting to think back on his time as a supervillain with a knack for stealing powers. If Quinto could, in fact, gain the power of fire-breathing, maybe he has chosen to apply it here: in space! Where fire supply is at an all time low, mind you. The More You Know. J.J. Abrams is actually making that firefighter movie from Entourage Remember when Vincent lost his starring role in Smoke Jumpers? Well, someone else had to earn that spot: maybe it was Mister Spock, depicted here the heat of the action* as the drama's central firefighter. Ask Ben Wyatt Okay, fine, we admit it. We have no idea what Spock is doing in that volcano. But do you know who might? Senatorial campaign manager Ben Wyatt, who shared his own talents with Star Trek fan fiction on Thursday night's episode of Parks and Recreation: "Data had never felt this way before. Of course, Data had never felt anything before..." Can you please write the third movie, Mr. Wyatt?

'American Horror Story: Asylum' Scares Up New Promo -- VIDEO
October 03, 2012 8:27am ESTAfter revealing a set of short, mysterious, and creepy teases, American Horror Story: Asylum creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have finally unveiled a full trailer containing scenes and clips from the upcoming season, which will feature entirely new overarching themes – lust, fear, insanity, and religion – and a new setting in Briarcliff, a former East Coast tuberculosis ward that was changed into an asylum for the criminally insane in the 1960s. Season 2 will feature many new as well as familiar faces – some Season 1 veterans are returning for another round, however as different characters entirely. Emmy winner Jessica Lange is back, this time as Sister Jude, a nun running the asylum. Sister Jude isn’t all prayers and faith, though… she seems to enjoy torturing (more Season 1 vets) Evan Peters' Kit, and Lily Rabe's fellow nun Sister Eunice. Emmy winner Eric Stonestreet will make a return to the series as well, but instead of playing a victim like he did in Season 1 (heeeeere piggy-pig-pig), he will portray a killer. Other returning players include Sarah Paulson and Zachary Quinto. Some new faces that will be serving up scares, chills, and all around creepiness are Adam Levine, Jenna Dewan, Chloe Sevigny, James Cromwell, and Joseph Fiennes. Watch the new trailer below, and hit the comments to tell us what you think. Are you prepared to be scared? Or are you going to be like me, watching the premiere through the cracks between your fingers? The new season premieres Oct. 17 on FX.

Zachary Quinto: 'I'm incredibly happy with Jonathan Groff'
September 13, 2012 5:00am ESTThe Star Trek star opened up about his sexuality last year (11) and he has since been linked to Glee hunk Groff. The pair has been snapped spending time together in Los Angeles over the summer (12) and now Quinto has offered a small insight into their relationship in an interview with gay and lesbian lifestyle publication Out. Commenting on his life with Groff, he simply says, "I'm incredibly happy, I'm incredibly lucky." Quinto reveals his new relationship has been vastly different from his past loves and suggests his newfound happiness is partly down to regular therapy sessions. He explains, "I found myself in a pattern of being attracted to people who were somehow unavailable, and what I realised was that I was protecting myself because I equated the idea of connection and love with trauma and death. "I had to do a lot of work on the couch to really get to a place where I was able to show up to a relationship with someone who was actually capable of being in one - and that took a lot of trial and error." Now Quinto is looking to the future and he is keen to have a family of his own one day. He adds, "I definitely want kids. I want to share."

The things they say
September 12, 2012 10:15am EST"One of the defining conversations that I had with myself was that absolutely no good can come from me staying quiet about (my sexuality)... Literally, no good can come from it. But if I take the step to make the acknowledgement and be honest, so much good could potentially come from it." Star Trek actor Zachary Quinto hopes he inspired others to be open about their sexuality by 'coming out' as a gay man last year (11).

Hollywood Mourns and Pays Tribute to Tony Scott
August 20, 2012 10:16am ESTThe tragic and shocking passing of acclaimed director Tony Scott (Top Gun, True Romance, Crimson Tide, Enemy of the State, Man on Fire) has left Hollywood in a state of disbelief and mourning. The 68-year-old, whose illustrious career included producer on films like Prometheus and The Grey and executive producer on shows such as The Good Wife and Numb3rs, died Sunday when he fatally jumped "without hesitation" off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro, Calif. He reportedly left a suicide note at his office. (Latest reports reveal that the filmmaker suffered from inoperable brain cancer prior to his suicide.) Scott, brother of fellow legendary director Ridley Scott, is survived by wife and their two young sons. While so many have struggled to find the right words to comprehend his passing and pay tribute to his impact on Hollywood, some of Scott's friends, colleagues, and admirers have given statements and others took to their Twitter to express their feelings on the news. In a statement released to Hollywood.com, Oscar winner Denzel Washington, who worked with Scott on five projects, including his last film Unstoppable said, "Tony Scott was a great director, a genuine friend and it is unfathomable to think that he is now gone. He had a tremendous passion for life and for the art of filmmaking and was able to share this passion with all of us through his cinematic brilliance. My family sends their prayers and deepest condolences to the entire Scott family." According to E!, Top Gun star Tom Cruise said in a statement, "Tony was my dear friend and I will really miss him. He was a creative visionary whose mark on film is immeasurable. My deepest sorrow and thoughts are with his family at this time." Nicole Kidman, who worked with Cruise and Scott on Days of Thunder stated, "I'm so so sad. I loved Tony and he was always so good to me. He will be deeply missed by so many of us that knew him."

New 'American Horror Story' Clip Ups the Creep-Factor — VIDEO
August 19, 2012 1:49pm ESTOnly Ryan Murphy could make an asylum more chilling than it already is, huh? Enter: American Horror Story: Asylum. The second season of his much-acclaimed show/mini-series about things that go bump in the night and haunt your dreams and/or reality is almost here. Fans that grew to love last season's storyline are in for a bit of a shock. We aren't in Los Angeles anymore, folks. The 19-second clip is the second of what will undoubtedly be many more teasers to come. Taking a similar approach to last season's marketing methods, we are presented a short video with no context, but plenty of creep-factor. There are nuns, padded walls, and a coat that turns from brown to an antiseptic shade of blue. We broke it down for you below, to try and make sense of it all. Because it's hot out, so we might as well sit in the cool indoor air and scrutinize videos, right? The clip starts out innocently enough, right? A white room (well, OK, yeah...that is sort of creepy...) that looks almost...nice? But wait...why is that nun in a padded alcove? Nuns make me nervous, you guys. OK now here comes a nun in all white! Is that like a...nurse nun? And what's up with the coat? OK wait now the coat is blue! Is that indicative of something? Now it looks less like outerwear and more like...a uniform? Perhaps even pajamas? Like something someone would wear in an asylum, maybe! Also what's up with the shift from sepia tone to this sterile white? Makes me think this sad story keeps happening year after year (sepia = old/flashback; white = new)...maybe with just a new sad person in an evil, color-changing coat every few years? Holy s**t! What a scary motherf**ker. Why you so pale, lady? Is that other nun praying for you to get a little sun? My bet is there's some stink-eye we're missing, y'all. Ack! No! Stop! Stop looking at me! Heebie-jeebies much? I feel like it's never a good sign when the asylum workers look more insane than the patients, right? So confusing, creepy, and monochromatic. What are you trying to say here, Mr. Murphy? We know that it involves an asylum, Jenna Dewan, Adam Levine and a veritable smorgasbord of new actors. To say nothing of returning actors Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Lily Rabe. But other than that, we know nothing. We need to know more, my dude! We need more. Is it October yet? Watch the video below for yourself--did we miss anything in our analysis of the clip? American Horror Story returns to FX this October. Are you looking forward to it?
