Trini March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 (edited) Nice! I like Hiro, but with Masi Oka having a steady gig on a competing network, I thought that he'd be the last character to make an appearance. Edited March 30, 2015 by Trini Link to comment
MarkHB March 29, 2015 Share March 29, 2015 He actually tweeted a Thank You to CBS and NBC for working out a deal. I was hoping Grunny would make it back, but he just filmed a pilot so who knows? Link to comment
Trini March 31, 2015 Share March 31, 2015 Comments about 'Reborn' from director Matt Shakman: “You could absolutely come to this show completely new, without having watched any of the previous show,” Shakman confirmed. “You can also have been an ardent fan of the previous show and come and find things in there that you will respond to. There will be Easter eggs and just little sort of tidbits and nods to the old show, ... “We’ve done a little bit of shooting already and then we’re still in prep,” he said about the production plans. “We did some complicated pre-shooting stuff, and then we really, really start in on this on April 6th. It’s going to be really fun. It’s big. It’s going to be really ambitious.” 2 Link to comment

MarkHB May 1, 2015 Share May 1, 2015 Pruitt Taylor Vince, Francesca Eastwood and Eve Harlow have also signed on (Harlow is recurring, not sure about the others). As reported by our sister site Deadline, The Mentalist alum Pruitt Taylor Vince and onetime Perception guest star Francesca “Daughter of Clint” Eastwood have boarded the project as an unassuming but persuasive guy and a manipulative young woman (respectively).Additionally, The Wrap reports that The 100‘s Mountain Woman Eve Harlow has landed an undisclosed role on the secretive continuation of the supernatural series. "unassuming but persuasive". Given his look, I wonder if he'll be set up as a relative of David Lawrence's Puppet Master from the original. Link to comment
Trini May 10, 2015 Share May 10, 2015 (edited) And we have a time slot: This Fall, Thursdays at 8pm From original creator Tim Kring, the supernatural phenomenon begins again with a fresh crop of inspiring heroes who take on the ultimate struggle between those with extraordinary abilities and those with nefarious motives to hunt and harness their powers. Epic adventures await these newly empowered allies as they cross paths with some of the original characters (such as the beloved "HRG" and fan-favorite time-traveler Hiro Nakamura), unlocking the mysterious fate of the universe and their place within it. (Will we need a new sub-forum for this show?) Edited May 10, 2015 by Trini Link to comment
MarkHB May 10, 2015 Share May 10, 2015 I don't think we need a sub-forum; we can do per-episode threads here and hopefully get some traction on a rewatch later on. Link to comment

Trini June 1, 2015 Share June 1, 2015 (edited) Looks like Mohinder will make an appearance, too. I don't even remember how his story left off; I skipped most of the last season. 1) Nothing against the actors or characters, but I still wish they didn't bring the old castmembers back. I'd prefer a completely fresh take. 2) Looks kinda iffy that all the returning cast are male. Edited June 1, 2015 by Trini Link to comment
shapeshifter June 1, 2015 Share June 1, 2015 Looks like Mohinder will make an appearance, too. I don't even remember how his story left off.... I still recall Sendhil Ramamurthy doing what amounted to a reenactment of Jeff Goldblum's The Fly, but I can't recall whether he met the same unfortunate(?) end. Link to comment
MarkHB June 1, 2015 Share June 1, 2015 Does this mean we'll get to know the outcome of his father's research????? Now I'm thinking it would be funny if they just brought him on to do the opening narration of each episode. 3 Link to comment
TJtrack99 June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 Another familiar face is returning. Though I look at that picture and think, what happened to his hair?? Link to comment
MarkHB June 4, 2015 Share June 4, 2015 I'd love to see Adair Tishler (Molly Walker) alongside him, but I think she's left acting (a quick search finds her having started at DePaul this past fall). Also: Greg Beeman will be directing Episode 2. He and Allan Arkush were two permanent directors on the original series (except for S4), who acted almost as consultants for the individual episode directors. I'm very glad to see him on board!

Trini June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Angela Petrelli returning. Ugh; the more former cast members they announce, the less excited I get. (Not that I was that excited to begin with....) Link to comment
MarkHB June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I had seen complaints that all the returnees were male, so at least Angela's coming back. Hayden's tied up with Nashville and I'm pretty sure Ali was happy not to be called, so other than Cristine Rose the only other major female cast member I can think of would be Ashley Crow (HRG's wife Sandra) and she had gotten the hell out of that marriage by S4 anyway. Now I want to know how we can get Kyle Bennet and Molly Walker in! Link to comment

JessePinkman June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 That looks...cheap? Stock footage and badly drawn CGI graffiti? I mean good for them for trying and I must say I'm intrigued, it seems they're going for a post-apocalyptic vibe which is very in right now so that's smart of them. Link to comment
MarkHB June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 Also, here is the Heroes: Reborn Comic-Con info: “HEROES REBORN” (Sunday, July 12, 1:45-2:45, Hall H; sponsored by Universal Television)From Tim Kring, who imagined NBC’s original critically acclaimed “Heroes” series, comes “Heroes Reborn,” an epic 13-episode event series that chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities. “Heroes Reborn” takes over Gaslamp Square with a first of its kind 4-D interactive experience where fans will have the opportunity to access their own extraordinary pyro-kinetic ability. Through a multi-sensory experience of interactive visuals and kinetic effects, fans will enter the world of “Heroes Reborn” and use their power with fire to escape a dangerous scenario. Fans will also be able to take an animated “heroic” photo and tour through a “Heroes” gallery featuring iconic props from the previous series. The “Heroes Reborn” Q&A panel, which will include an exclusive look at the extended trailer, will be moderated by returning cast member Greg Grunberg. Panelists include Tim Kring, Jack Coleman, Zachary Levi, Robbie Kay, Ryan Guzman, Gatlin Green, Henry Zebrowski, Judith Shekoni, Danika Yarosh and Rya Kihlstedt. “Heroes Reborn” premieres Thursday, Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. on NBC.

MarkHB June 29, 2015 Share June 29, 2015 NBC is starting to release motion character posters of some of the characters... Ryan Guzman as Carlos: Francesca Eastwood, whose character name hadn't been revealed before, as Molly: Given that Eastwood is only 3 years older than Adair Tishler, and the latter just finished her freshman year of college, is it possible, or probable, that this is the return of Molly Walker with a new actress???? 1 Link to comment

Interesting... you're probably right; it would be weird and unlikely to have another character with the same name. Link to comment
darkestboy June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 (edited) I'm cautiously optimistic for this actually. Season 1 was amazing but Seasons 2-4 were all over the place at times and with a mixture of familiar faces and mostly new people, it could actually work again. I am hoping though that there are some LGBT characters (look how Sense8 does it well) and that they don't make the mistake of simply keeping characters on because they like the actor. Look at what happened with Sylar - brilliant in the first season and then struggling for decent material in subsequent seasons as well. Shallow note but Carlos is pretty. Moving on though, fingers crossed this is a return to Season 1 goodness. Edited June 30, 2015 by darkestboy Link to comment

MarkHB July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 Two more came out yesterday... I can't get to the GIF versions right now to post them. Robbie Kay as Tommy: Awkward teen Tommy just wants to be normal and win the girl of his dreams, but normalcy is virtually impossible after learning of a new ability that terrifies him. Judith Shekoni as Joanne: Joanne is a vigilante, who has teamed with Luke (Zachary Levi) to avenge a tragic loss. Link to comment

MarkHB August 10, 2015 Share August 10, 2015 This was an interview with Masi Oka from SDCC. No real spoilers other than how many eps Hiro will appear in... and perhaps this (and this is Masi talking, not the interviewer): It’s just the way it is. It’s kind of like Nathan will be killed every season. Hiro’s power will be nerfed somehow. No, I don't think that means Adrian Pasdar is coming back :) . Link to comment
MarkHB August 13, 2015 Share August 13, 2015 Scheduling notes: the premiere has been changed to 2 hours, still on Sept. 24 starting at 8, bumping The Blacklist for the night. Also, if you want to see said premiere ahead of the rest of us poor schlubs, it's going to be part of the first-ever television programme at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.

henripootel August 18, 2015 Share August 18, 2015 As a binge watcher, I just don't think the last three seasons were nearly as bad as all that. Yeah, they were. Just found the show on netflix and, just as I recalled, the wheels came right off the wagon in season 2. I'm like 4 episodes in and it's getting so stupid I can hardly watch. I'll give Reborn a shot but they're starting with one strike. Link to comment
Anela August 19, 2015 Share August 19, 2015 What's with all of the shows coming back? X-Files, Prison Break, Heroes, and something else that I'm forgetting. I'll probably tune in, to see what it's like, but I also finally stopped watching the original, back in 2009/2010, before the season ended. Link to comment
seamusk August 19, 2015 Share August 19, 2015 Maybe you are thinking of Twin Peaks? I didn't realize Prison Break was coming back. I enjoyed that but was ready for it to be done when it ended. Link to comment
shapeshifter August 20, 2015 Share August 20, 2015 I also finally stopped watching the original, back in 2009/2010, before the season ended.I can't remember if I stayed to the end--which sort of implies that even if I was "watching," I wasn't really. I remember hating what they did to Mohinder--especially because it was a ripoff of The Fly. Link to comment

shapeshifter August 22, 2015 Share August 22, 2015 That promo reminds me how much I loved the first season Hiro. He was sweet and naive and fun. I hated the feudal Japan arc. Now I would never stick with a show that bored me that much. I'm much more fickle. I see Robbie Kay, who played a believably evil Peter Pan on OUaT--which I no longer watch. 1 Link to comment
MarkHB August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 Heroes Reborn made the cover of the 8/31 TV Guide Magazine. Some minor spoilers. Yes, showbiz is brutal, but it also packs the most insane surprises. One night, out of nowhere, NBC ran a 15-second promo for Heroes Reborn during the 2014 Winter Olympics. “The cast just went nuts texting each other because this was the first any of us had heard about it,” Grunberg says. “To have this second chance is incredible…well, except for the fact I’ve put on 25 pounds since the original and I’m on the treadmill every day trying to look like the old Matt!" 1 Link to comment
