Zachary Quinto to play James Franco’s ex

Zachary Quinto is gay and James Franco often plays gay so it will be interesting to see these two talented young actors in a movie together with both in gay roles.

They will appear with Emma Roberts in the drama Michael about an anti-gay pastor who was once gay himself, according to a report in Variety.

Quinto, whose most famous film role is that of Spock in the current Star Trek movie franchise, will play the former boyfriend of Franco’s character.

The script for the film is based on My Ex-Gay Friend, a New York Times Magazine article by Benoit Denizet-Lewis about Michael Glatze, a Christian minister from Wyoming who before he rejecting his homosexuality, had founded a gay youth magazine.

Franco’s previous gay roles have included playing Sean Penn’s boyfriend in Milk and Allen Ginsberg in Howl.

Justin Kelly will direct. Gus van Sant is the executive producer,
