If you’ve always wanted to share some spotlight with your favorite Heroes character, this may be your chance.
Spoiler TV has just posted casting sheets for the first two episodes of Heroes Season 3. If you remember our previous post, the first two mentioned are The Butterfly Effectť and Dreamtime.
The sheet offers very little information but there are some important ones. For example, they are looking for someone to play Jessie: an intense guy with an explosive temper. Violent. Cruel. A mean looking S.O.B. Cool thing about this is that this will be a recurring character in the show!
Another actor they’re looking for is someone who can play an African Aborigineť, described as a member of the Maasai, Samburu or another similar nomadic pastoral tribe. A storyteller with great wisdom. Is this Mohinder’s replacement?

The Final episode from the last season left us at a cliffhanger: Nathan Petrlli shot by an assassin, and Niki blown up to pieces. It’s a great thing then that TV Guide was able to corner the Heroes Executive Producer and Director, Allan Akrush, and interrogate him on next season.
According to Arkush, there will be some big surprises and changes come next season. Some changes will be that new characters will be coming out of the woodwork. “There will be characters coming that you’ve heard about.” Another cool thing coming would be involving quite a lot of physics. We are going to play with time and we are playing a lot with space and where people are on the planet.”
More here.
If you get two new characters in already filled-up show, will it affect your viewing? I thought I was watching Heroes, not a TV series adaptation of War and Peace.
Nevertheless, the creators of the show has decided to put in two characters. Will they have powers or will they just be acting as support? Well, according to TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello, its a go:
Two new recurring roles are being cast, both of which are slated to debut in the Season 3 premiere. Joyť is in her early twenties and described as quick on her feet and adept at getting herself into and out of trouble. Senator Robert Malden, meanwhile, is in his fifties and a political straight shooter.
The clues he left us looks like these two will be powered up as well. But will they join our Heroes or go with the Villains?

Whats interesting is the first one, called, The Butterfly Effect.” It actually has a Wikipedia entry, if you’d like to read it. It’s basically how a small event can cause a catastrophe some point in the future. Does this mean someone goes back in time and does something that drastically changes the present (or future?) or is it something else?

As a total eclipse casts a shadow across the globe, a genetics professor, Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), is motivated by his fathers mysterious disappearance to delve into his missing fathers secret theory there are people with unique and special abilities among us. They thought they were like everyone else, until one day they woke up with unbelievable powers.
Yesterdays post is related to todays news. NBC decided to not go on with Heroes: Origins because they’re planning something gigantic on Season 3 premiere night:
“We consciously chose to rest [Heroes] this spring so that [creator] Tim Kring and his team could get ahead of the creative and build up to a massive event–a three-hour Heroes night,” Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios, said during the network’s upfront presentation to advertisers in New York on April 2. “On Monday, Sept. 15, we’ll kick off with a Heroes clip show to try to bring back the audience and [then air] a massive two-hour Heroes film.”
Yep, you read it right! Two friggin hours!!!
I’ll need to buy more popcorn then.

Since Yaeko’s coming back into Hiro’s life, is Adam Monroe far behind? Viewers know his buried inside a coffin, six feet underground, but heck he’s an immortal right? Let’s hear it from the man (David Anders) himself:
“I believe so, yeah. I hope so. I know I’m going to be in one of the first six [episodes] so,Anders told SyFy Portal’s Alan Stanley Blair at this weekend’s Eclipse event in the United Kingdom. “But after that, it’s called “Villains,” and I am an uber-villain.”
The 3rd Season is supposed to be where the villains get to show off more of their powers and influence over our heroes.
We’ll see what happens when he meets up with Hiro again.

The girlfriend from Feudal Japan will return on Season 3. No, Hiro won’t be going back to the past, she’ll be going to the present! Yep, folks through the magic of NBC, she’ll be time teleported from the 17th Century to the present and screw with our heroes minds and hearts.
Tamura said that her character, Taeko, was supposed to be transported to the present in episodes that were scripted but not finished before the writers’ strike commenced last fall. “I am going to be in the present, yes,” Tamura said in an interview.
“I actually had a few episodes of the script then,” Tamura said, adding: “Suddenly, the strike happened, so we had to stop the shooting.”
Tamura added that she expects to return to the show for the upcoming third season, which begins production in May.
“We are not to that point where they think about the storylines yet … because of the strike,” Tamura said.
So more time travelling adventures with Yaeko and Hiro on Season 3!
