"Dog Eat Dog" - A Producer's Report From The Set!

Late in the year of 2011, a little movie about dog adoption called “Dog Eat Dog” was made and directed by Zachary Quinto's good friend, Sian Heder together with the Before The Door team.

The production costs were funded by backers via the Kickstarter website and the top three people who contributed to the production costs will be credited as Producers for the movie. As a special perk, they were also allowed to be on set (in LA) for a day during the filming of “Dog Eat Dog

My Twitter friend Lindsay was one of the Producers, and it was no surprise that she had a wonderful day on set with Zach, Sian, the production team and a few furry-footed creatures.

Here's Lindsay's take on that day on the “Dog Eat Dog” set:

"Margin Call" - Review by a ZQC Member

As "Margin Call" gathers momentum, there has been some talk about Oscar nominations.

I haven't watched the movie yet, but from the rave reviews I've read from some heavy press and top critics, I hope it does head toward that direction.

For those in LA and NY, there are some events coming up with the director and producers of the movie this Saturday!

On 29 October, in LA, our favourite bb Zachary Quinto (hopefully wearing a beanie??) and Before The Door partner and one of the movie's producer Neal Dodson, will appear for a special post-show Q&A at the 7 pm screening at the Century City AMC. Do hurry and buy your tickets now before they sell out!

Over at the East Coast, in NY, writer/ director of  "Margin Call" J.C. Chandor will be stopping by the Angelika for a Q&A after the 5 pm show.

If anyone is attending these events, drop me a note! I'm sure many other fans would like to hear how these sessions went!

And to add on to @HardlyanAngel's thoughts of the movie, here's another "Margin Call" review from a ZQC member, @Sunfell!

Zachary Quinto At The 2011 Theatre World Awards

For several months between mid-2010 till early 2011, Zachary Quinto had been busy working his naked biceps (and other body parts) at the off-Broadway Signature Theatre in New York for the award-winning Tony Krushner play, "Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes".

Zachary played the role of Louis Ironson with much acclaim from the theatre critics. So it's no surprise, that Zachary is on the list of winners for the 67th Theatre World Awards for Outstanding Broadway or Off-Broadway Debut Performances during the 2010-2011 theatrical season. Other winners include Ellen Barkin, Jim Parsons and John Larroquette.

The award ceremony was just held on Tuesday, 7 June at the August Wilson Theatre in New York.

A Spattering of Updates

This week has been chockful of "Margin Call" updates. Much to the delight of us fans!

For those who are still unaware, "Margin Call" is an indie movie about eight people during a tumultuous 24-hour period just prior to the 2008 Wall Street financial meltdown. It is Before the Door's first film production!

Zachary Quinto, who also stars in the movie, has been giving us pretty constant updates on Twitter and Facebook. And when I say pretty, I *do* mean pretty :D

Just look at the pic above. Zach's own self-portrait pic on the "Margin Call" set  in a suit with a night reflection of the Empire State Building. Srsly! Those pretty biceps in a suit! It is pretty as pretty does!

Post-Heroes-pocalypse and Birthdays!

It's been a couple of days since the Heroes-pocalypse and I know many are still unable to fully process their emotions.

However, the most moving tribute and farewell undoubtedly comes from someone who has worked with the cast and crew for long periods of time over the "Heroes" 4 years' tenure.
