1 Comment 24 May 2007

Tim Kring HeroesTuesday morning, following the season finale, “How To Stop An Exploding Man,” Tim Kring and CBR’s Jonah Weiland spent an hour on the phone conducting something of a post-game report.

They discussed the journey he’s taken with this show, the season finale, what effect, if any, “Heroes” had on the cancellation of his other program, “Crossing Jordan,” his newly prominent role in American pop culture and much, much more.

Heroes Volume 2 – Generations

218 Comments 21 May 2007

Tim Kring said the other day that the upcoming season finale will introduce new characters that will become central to the story in the second season. “There are several new characters coming in the immediate future,” Kring said. “The idea of the show from the start was always to basically honor the origin story of the first sort of blush and discovery of these powers. And so, in order to do that, new characters will have to be cycled into the show. And by extension, older characters will cycle out of the show.”
By this logic, where the first season was called “Volume One: Genesis,” the second season will be called “Volume Two: Generations.”

Tim Kring : “Paying the Ultimate Price”

No Comments 29 April 2007

SyFy Portal made an interview with Tim Kring, Creator of Heroes. He cleared somethings about deaths and season finale…

“When you have a villain as vicious as Sylar, some characters have to pay the ultimate price,” Kring told TV Guide. “We’ve set the bar high as a show that plays truthfully with the audience — and we have to keep delivering on that.”

Tim Kring“The entire cast knew going into ‘Heroes’ that story is king,” he said. “There’s a whole new season with a whole new concept coming, and Isaac was in the way. Ironically, his ability to see the future was pretty limiting — he had to be in his loft to paint and manifest his power. He never left the building except for that dream sequence where Peter explodes. With a show as sprawling as ‘Heroes,’ that’s a problem.”

Anyway, what should fans expect in the final episodes that are airing in the next month?

“We love our shocks and surprises, but we also honor our commitments,” Kring said. “We showed Isaac dead on the floor way back in Episode 2. Sure, we could have found a way out of that, but it’s not our style. We take story seriously.”

Masi Oka and Tim Kring in Wired 15.05

4 Comments 26 April 2007

Here are the pages from the Wired Magazine Article about Masi Oka and Tim Kring.

Wired Magazine Wired Magazine Wired Magazine - Tim Kring Wired Magazine - Masi Oka Wired Magazine

Here is the easier-to read version:

Article by: David Kushner from Wired Magazine
Tim Kring doesn’t know Magneto from Wolverine. You’d never know it from watching Heroes, his hit show about everyday people with extraordinary powers.
Tim Kring has never been much into comic books. As a kid growing up in Santa Maria, California, he was more into running track and playing acoustic guitar. “The idea of the dialog bubbles always bothered me,” he says. (That’s a major tip-off – a true comics fan knows those things are called speech balloons.)

As an adult, Kring found success as a writer and creator of mainstream TV dramas – Chicago Hope and Providence in the 1990s, Crossing Jordan in 2001. His only brush with geekdom was when, at the age of 24, he sold his first script to the so-lame-it’s-cool show Knight Rider.

Season Finale Details

1 Comment 20 March 2007

SciFi.com posted details from season finale. The first-season finale will comprise the last three episodes of the year, so 3 weeks long Heroes Season Finale hype waiting for us.

Tim Kring, creator of NBC’s Heroes, revealed to SCI FI Wire that the first-season finale will comprise the last three episodes of the year, will bring all of the main characters together in New Yorkâ€â€?and will ultimately result in the death of one or more heroes. “The whole thing converges in New York, … and they’re all there, and all of them play a role,” Kring said in an interview at Wizard World in Los Angeles on March 17. “Even though some may feel like they’re less significant to the final event, when you analyze it, each one had to play that role in order for the final event to be solved, and so there really was a kind of destiny quality to them coming together and having each one fulfilling [one thing] and one specific role.”

Kring and company are completing the final draft of the season finale scriptâ€â€?episode number 23, called “How to Stop an Exploding Man”â€â€?which goes into production in a week and is slated to air on May 23. Meanwhile, production has begun on the previous episode, “Landslide,” Kring said.

As for the deaths? All Kring will say is that people die, including main characters. “The thing is, people knew fairly early on [that they might not make it through the season],” Kring said of the cast members. “Everybody, every actor that we’ve spoken to. I mean, … we’ve spoken about this idea, that on this show the story is king and everybody is in service of that story. It’s not a star vehicle. No, the show does not live or die by any one character. And so every actor should realize that at some point their ticket might come up. It’s both sad and exciting at the same time.”

Kring added: “It became very important that if we were going to set up the stakes of a villain and a conspiracy, the stakes would just not be real unless there were some deaths along the way. But the one caveat is, on a show like Heroes, you may not always [stay] dead. And with our ability to go back and forth in time, you may be dead, but you may show up on the show a few more times.”

The season finale will also set up the show for season two, Kring said. “There is a cliffhanger quality to some of the episode, but more in terms of what is the fate of some of our characters, as opposed to what the story is going to be,” he said. “Although we do have a one, I hope, shocking sort of spoiler for what season two is going to be. A premonition of … what we’re calling volume two.” Heroes, which airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT, returns with the last new episodes of the season on April 23.

3 new faces at Season Finale

8 Comments 18 March 2007

We reported about some new Heroes and a new story for season 2 are planning by Tim Kring. However according to SpoilerFix.com, we’ll see 3 new faces at Season 1 finale – and maybe these’re the new heroes for season 2?-,..

The episode will feature a Paris Hilton-like blonde woman in her late 20s, an Asian woman also in her late 20s and a male model.

I guess that Asian chick will be Hiro’s sister or “potential” love-affair for Hiro, but I hope Paris Hilton-like blonde woman actually is not Paris Hilton,.
