Returns; Origins Dies
Heroes will return to NBC on Sept. 15 with an expanded third-season
opener, but network executives confirmed that the proposed prequel
spinoff, Heroes: Origins, is officially dead.
We consciously chose to rest [Heroes] this spring so that [creator]
Tim Kring and his team could get ahead of the creative and build up to
a massive event--a three-hour Heroes night, Ben Silverman,
co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, said
during the network's upfront presentation to advertisers in New York
on April 2. On Monday, Sept. 15, we'll kick off with a Heroes clip
show to try to bring back the audience and [then air] a massive
two-hour Heroes film.
Silverman also explained why the heavily hyped, much-anticipated
Heroes: Origins was scrapped. The show was originally conceived to
help eliminate Heroes repeats, and directors and writers--including
feature-film vets Kevin Smith, Eli Roth and Michael Dougherty--were
already lined up before NBC dropped the idea.
We were taxing our creative team to do too much around that,
Silverman said. We wanted 35 Heroes [episodes] and 12 Heroes:
Origins, each of which was supposed to be a mini-movie and backdoor
pilot. We reached far and challenged our people, and we decided it was
better to focus on keeping the Heroes mothership as strong as possible.
Heroes will air Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. (NBC is owned by NBC
Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.) --Ian Spelling
