TV Guide reports that with the writers strike confirmed to start on Monday, "Heroes" is going back and shooting an alternate ending to the Dec. 3 episode that, if used, would allow the episode to function as a season finale.
The magazine says that originally, the episode was only supposed to serve as the conclusion of the current "Generations" arc.
Damn those Hollywood writers.
Variety reports that NBC is putting the kibosh on "Heroes: Origins" — and the possibility of a strike contributed to the decision.
The network has indefinitely shelved production on the planned six-episode spin-off of its Monday hit. The series — which had attracted heavy hitters such as Eli Roth, Kevin Smith and Michael Dougherty (Superman Returns) — was set to premiere later this season while "Heroes" was on hiatus.
Now NBC has decided to not move forward with the production, at least for now.
The trade says that NBC Universal entertainment co-chairs Ben Silverman and Marc Graboff didn't want to move forward with the project given the financial uncertainties of a possible WGA work stoppage.
Insiders cautioned that "Heroes: Origins" isn't completely dead and could very well be revived at a later date, perhaps as soon as next season.
Don't forget, the second season of "Heroes" starts tonight!
What shows are you looking forward to in the new fall TV season?
As of now the one show I am looking forward to seeing is the second season of Heroes. I also might check out It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and I am curious to see the new Bionic Woman show.
