Tim Kring Talks About Heroes


Over at EW Online, and a few weeks after NBC cancelled the show, Tim Kring talked about Heroes and whether or not there's a TV movie in the works for next season:
No decision has been made. But the Heroes brand is an extremely broad premise. It was a premise about ordinary people, an undisclosed number of people all over the world, who were waking up to these extraordinary abilities. Any number of stories could happen around that. We never posited a single ending or a single premise. It wasn’t about getting off of an island or stopping something from happening. We told stories in volumes that had a beginning, a middle, and an end. Those volumes could go on and on and on with many different characters. As a result, that Heroes universe is something that can be tapped into again in many ways. Certainly, a movie is a way to do that and clearly, there is an entire world and a number of platforms that this property could live in. Movies sometimes need a little distance from the television show.

The show's creator also mentioned that he would be at Comic-Con this year to talk about his new project, Conspiracy for Good, a new book, and about Heroes.

Tim Kring Planning Heroes Mini-Series!


Tim Kring has not said his last words concerning NBC's Heroes. The show's creator has plans to bring back the recently defunct series as a mini-series and pitch the idea to NBC. This is what was reported by TV Guide Online:

Heroes ended its season last February with the indestructible Claire (Hayden Panettiere) throwing herself from the top of a Ferris wheel in front of the media, revealing her superpower to the world. Should the axed series return with a wrap-up miniseries—that's creator Tim Kring's hope, and he says he's meeting with NBC this month to discuss it — the plot will skip ahead a year or so to see the effect of Claire's revelation.
