Heroes TV Movie DOA

The ‘Heroes’ TV movie is officially dead(ish), according to Entertainment Weekly.

NBC will not be moving forward with the movie that never got past the talking stage, according to a source close to NBC. The movie would have wrapped up the series after the much-debated cancellation of the show in May.

Series creator Tim Kring hinted that ‘Heroes’ would never be entirely dead though.

“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,” Kring told EW.

So there could be a web revival or even a graphic novel season 5 a la Buffy and Angel.

There has been no comment from NBC about the fate of the ‘Heroes’ movie yet.
