Heroes Roundup for January 28
EW’s Michael Ausiello reports that former Pushing Daisies star Ellen Greene is in talks with Heroes to return as Sylar’s mom during May sweeps. Her Daisies sister Swoosie Kurtz is already scheduled to appear on the show this season as a friend of Angela Petrelli’s.
Ausiello also confirmed that one of the Heroes actresses has indeed asked to be released from her contract, but says NBC is "unlikely to allow it."
In her latest Spoiler Chat, E! Online’s Kristin dos Santos tells us that we won’t be seeing much of The Haitian in the "Fugitives" volume. She also reports that it is very likely that at least one Hero won’t be returning next season. It is being sorted out right now just who will be going.
Kristin also reports that J.J. Abrams has finally broken his silence about whether his pal Greg Grunberg is in his upcoming Star Trek movie. "I will say that Greg Grunberg has something to do with this movie, but you have to find him." So it’s like "Where’s Waldo" with Grunny? I’m up for the challenge.
NBC has handed down a pilot order for a new series from former Heroes writer/producer, Jesse Alexander. Day One is a futuristic drama that follows a small band of survivors who try to rebuild after a global event that devastates the world’s infrastructures.
Fans in the UK, get ready! Wolf Events has announced that Jack Coleman and Greg Grunberg will be appearing at their first Heroes event, Wolf Timeline One. The convention takes place at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel in Middlesex the weekend of April 10-12. For more information, visit http://www.wolfevents.com/joomla/.
