eOnline! is reporting that Zachary Quinto, most widely known, at this point, for his role as Sylar in NBC’s ‘Heroes’, is in the final stages of negotiations to take on the role of Spock in J. J. Abrams’ forthcoming adaptation of Star Trek. 

I checked with a source who confirms that Zachary Quinto-as-Spock contract is with the business affairs team at Paramount. Business affairs is generally considered the last stop on the deal negotiation train. The deal only awaits sign-off from outside counsel.

Quinto has never ceased to impress me on ‘Heroes’…this will turn out to be a good choice.
