Lance Mazmanian posted news on his official website today which gave more information on his upcoming feature film project with Before the Door.

"I'm collaborating with the gents on a very unique feature film that has the potential to seriously shake things up around the world, in a good way.

Indeed, with the manner in which the story is built, there is literally something for everyone. And, it contains a central emotional/narrative element that has never been seen on film, that I know of.

Zachary Quinto, the potential lead, will be in every shot (minus 'establishing' stuff)"

He goes on to say that the film script won't even have its final draft until after Margin Call has wrapped.

Zachary will be in attendance at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego, which runs from July 22nd to 26th.

Panels

Zach will be on the Heroes panel at the Bayside Hilton, at 3.15pm on Saturday. The rom holds 2,000 people but it;s best to get there and queue as soon as you can. They generally don't clear the room after panels (best to check first) so to be sure of a seat, get in there very early and stay sitting!

Then there's a race across town back to the Convention Centre in rooms 5AB, on the first floor. Here Zach will be appearing with his Before The Door partners Neal Dodson and Cory Moosa to talk about a new project. The room holds roughly 200 people, so if you want to see this, get there as early as you can. You might not make the Heroes panel AND the Archaia one, so get ready to make Sophie's choice!

On Friday there's a Heroes All Access party at the House of Blues from 3-5pm. If you're a Heroes All Access Member you can get in for free and get a whole host of free goodies. If not, you can queue and pay on the door but again, get there early. Zach will not be at the event but if you're a Heroes fan this can't be missed. It costs $10 on the door and there is merchandise to buy inside. David H. Lawrence XVII (Eric Doyle) will be there to sign, as will Oliver Grigsby, who wrote the episode 'I Am Sylar', and Jason Badower, the graphic novel artist.

All weekend you can pop down to the Paramount booth(3535) and get your free Spock foam hand. There is no advertised Sylar merchandise from NBC this year, but hang around their booth(4029)because they may have Heroes related bags and other swag hanging around. Also, Archaia comics booth is number 2635, might be worth loitering after the announcements on Saturday in case they have anything Zach-related going on.

And if you see a girl in a white tshirt with I AM SYLAR in black letters, that's me! Come and say Hi!
