Our friends at TVGuide gave us the bad news, Heroes: Origins (that’s the old name of the project, they’re thinking about changing the name) has been canceled by NBC because of the strike by the Writers Guild of America…
NBC has pulled the plug on Heroes: Origins, the Heroes spin-off that was slated to run next April. The network declined comment, but sources said the possible strike by the Writers Guild of America — which could happen after the guild’s contract expires midnight Thursday — played a role in the decision.
“Looking at everything in context of the strike, we’re evaluating all of our production commitments,” said one insider. “Scripts haven’t been written yet.”
Origins was designed to provide fans with six episodes of a fresh Heroes-related show in place of repeats in the spring. If the labor situation changes quickly, the network could revisit the decision to scrap the show. — Reporting by Stephen Battaglio
According to Variety, there’s a chance Origins could be produced at a later date.
This sucks! can’t anyone else write the screenplay !?
yeah,
seriously, someone out there must have the skillz to put together what others had laid the foundations for.
i’m sure they have many events planned out, so get some talented underdog rookie on it! get Jeph Loeb on it!!!! heh
oh man wtf! this is the most best series ever and they guna shut it down..wow fucktards!
i agree with mike 100%. it’s hard to believe that anyone could wish death upon someone they’ve never met and know next to nothing about, just because they don’t share the same opinion. although, in a crazy world full of stupid people, i guess it’s not that hard to believe. but seriously, get some help
wtf how can ep 11 be the lowest rated one it one of if not the best episode of the season so far, sylar gets his powers back!!!
