  • Hayden Panettiere Not Asked to Appear in ‘Heroes’ Reboot

    Hayden Panettiere recently told Cosmopolitan that she hasn’t been asked to appear in the upcoming Heroes reboot.

    “Well, it was a shock to me, and, in fact, I believe I became privy to that through my cousin,” Panettiere said. “She sent me a text message and told me about it, and, I mean, we had nothing, nothing to do with it; it will definitely be interesting to see how they reinvent that.”

    News broke in February that NBC plans to bring the popular show back in 2015 as a 13-episode miniseries.

    When asked what she thought her Heroes character Claire Bennet might have been up to in the years since the series ended in 2010, Panettiere said she thought the miniseries would include an entirely new set of characters.

    “It’s a little bit of an interesting feeling because you go, ‘That was our show, our home, our family,’ something that we had a major part in creating,” said Panettiere. “I hope that they don’t have somebody else playing our characters, that would be a little dagger in the heart. But, you never know. I wish them success in it, for sure.”

    The original series creator and executive producer Tim Kring will work on the reboot, which is titled Heroes: Reborn.

    Jennifer Salke, President of NBC Entertainment, has said “we won’t rule out the possibility of some of the show’s original cast members popping back in.”

    Panettiere is currently busy working on ABC’s hit country music drama Nashville. She plays rising country music star Juliette Barnes opposite costar and producer Connie Britton’s more seasoned country music legend Rayna Jaymes.

    In October 2013 Panettiere announced her engagement to world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.

    She met the Ukrainian-born boxer at a book launch party six years ago and the two have dated on and off since then.

    They haven’t set a date, but Panettiere is already thinking about how she’d like to look on the big day:

    “I would like some really long, loose boho beach waves and just a nice golden tan … I want to be classy and elegant and sophisticated, but I also don’t want to forget my age. I want to be comfortable. I want it to be just sexy enough, but youthful at the same time.”

  • NBC’s Heroes Will Return With 13 New Episodes

    For those people that were watching the Olympics at just the right time, some fans may already be aware of the big news involving NBC’s Heroes. The series has been a cult favorite for years, and previously ran for four seasons before getting cancelled.

    NBC teased the die hard fans of its old show with a new series that will premiere next year during last night’s coverage of the Olympics, and revealed that the new series will be called Heroes: Reborn. NBC will bring the show back for 13 more episodes during the 2015 season.

    With all of the people that have been watching the Olympics, it has been used as an outlet for others to premiere new videos in relation to upcoming films as well, with the film Divergent releasing their latest clip during Thursday’s Olympic coverage.

    NBC’s Heroes has had a large number of fans since its departure from the network in 2010, as people continue to re-watch it, and discover it through its addition to Netflix. The series blended elements of drama, action, and science fiction, and was a thrilling show with an ensemble cast that was used to launch the careers of several actors.

    While the new show is scheduled to have its own cast and plot, there is a chance that at least a few characters may return to the limited event series.

    Entertainment President Jennifer Salke teased the news when saying “Until we get closer to air in 2015, the show will be appropriately shrouded in secrecy, but we won’t rule out the possibility of some of the show’s original cast members popping back in.”

    The upcoming Heroes: Reborn is set to center on a new set of characters, with a brand new plot for people to get excited for. While the show started out with virtually none of its stars being well-known when it premiered in 2006, a few have gone on to receive starring roles in their own films and television shows, most notably Hayden Panettiere and Zachary Quinto.

    NBC’s new version of Heroes will come from the show’s original creator, Tim Kring. He has clearly been paying attention to the news that has been buzzing about the upcoming reboot of 24, and will be making a revival of Heroes, which may share some similarities.

    Science fiction continues to be a hot genre with the revival of several other comic book heroes such as Spider-Man and Fantastic Four, and ABC has also had success with the recent Agents Of SHIELD, paving the way for a revival of another series of the past. Although the plot for Heroes: Reborn is being kept under wraps, fans are likely to theorize about what could be happening with the new series.
