Zachary Quinto is about to embark on a worldwide tour for “Star Trek Into Darkness” but he made it back to Pittsburgh for a quick visit in mid-week.
 
He and his producing partners from “Margin Call” brought their latest movie, a comedy called “Breakup at a Wedding,” to Carnegie Mellon University for a sneak preview while school is still in session. 
 
He is shown flanked by Victor Quinaz, the movie’s director who also plays a wedding videographer, and Ingrid Sonnichsen, associate teaching professor, acting.

I’ll have a story about this in Friday’s paper and you can look for more when the movie is released across multiple platforms in mid-June. Here’s a still from the comedy about a couple who break up during their doomed rehearsal dinner but decide to go through with the ceremony anyway.

Horn, who appeared at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, said the studio will alternate films in the new trilogy with spin-off films drawn from the same universe.

If 'Man of Steel' movie as good as trailer, we're in for a treat

Written by Barbara Vancheri on .

The latest "Man of Steel" trailer raises the question of just what that "S" stands for -- in his world, it means something else. But the movie looks terrific with a knockout cast and rich questions about identity and hope.
