Casting Update: Tessa Thompson

July 30th, 2009 by Joe | 1 Comment

tessa-thompson2Veronica Mars Alum Tessa Thompson will be joining the cast of Heroes.  Along with four movies due out in 2009, Tessa is finding time to appear in volume 5, “Redemption.” At this point we’re not exactly sure how many episodes she’ll be appearing in. What we do know is that Tessa will play the part of Becky, “an upperclassman who is protecting a secret of her own.”  It looks like Claire and Becky are going to be at odds and it will be interesting to find out exactly what secret Becky is hiding.  Could it be an ability of her own?  We’ll find out in the fall when Heroes starts back up on September 21st.

Comic Con: Highlights from the Heroes Panel

Heroes Panel

The Heroes panel at Comic Con 2009 was a blast! First, we apologize for not being able to provide live updates this year. The Indigo ballroom at the Hilton was a giant telecommunications dead zone. So without further delay let’s get to what you all really want to hear!

At the panel this year was Tim Kring, Jack Coleman, Masi Oka, Hayden Panettiere, Adrian Pasdar, Zachary Quinto, Milo Ventimiglia, Robert Kneppler, Dawn Oliveri, Ray Park, & Madeline Zima.

Tim Kring started out the panel by thanking the fans at Comic Con for helping Heroes grow into the show that it has become since introducing the show at Comic Con 2006. The cast even stood up and applauded the fans (pictured above). Kring then gave the audience the setup for Volume 5. Essentially, now that the government is no longer a threat to the heroes, they’re all trying to get some normalcy back into their lives.

“Everyone’s going back to their ordinary lives. But what IS an ordinary life? Do you hide, assimilate or try to fit in? That’s the question this year…”

Kring also says that we’ll be introduced to a new set of characters, a group of people who’ve found a unique way to hide their abilities in plain sight using a traveling carnival as their cover.

July 17th, 2009 by Graham | 3 Comments
Hello everyone! We’re back with a special “Summer” edition of the 10th Wonder podcast! With Comic Con rapidly approaching next week, we knew we just couldn’t wait any longer. So we got the band back together and fired up our webcams for a special live recording of the 10th Wonder on Ustream today. This isn’t your typical 10th Wonder episode, but we hope you’ll enjoy it nonetheless!

Programming Note: An error with our recording software meant that we had to salvage some of the audio from this episode from Ustream’s lower quality recording.

Heroes’ Comic Con Presence: An Off-site Panel?

July 7th, 2009 by Graham | 5 Comments

comicconWe’re hearing reports from all over that Heroes’ planned “presence” at Comic Con does include a 1-hour panel, but here’s the interesting part… it will be held off-site at the nearby Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel. Plans include the screening of a special Season 4 trailer created specifically for SDCC, as well as a Q&A session with Tim Kring, Jack Coleman, Masi Oka, Adrian Pasdar, Zachary Quinto and newcomers to the cast Robert Knepper, Dawn Olivieri, Ray Park and Madeline Zima.

Last year’s SDCC Heroes panel completely packed the San Diego convention center’s largest venue Hall H, which seats more than 6,500.
