from Kevin Smith\'s blog: Silent Bob Speaks he also discussed it in his podcast.
Quote from: Kevin Smith
Yes - I?m directing an episode (maybe the first episode) of the ?Heroes? spinoff ?Heroes: Origins?. It?s gonna be fun, to say the least. Big thanks to Tim Kring and Jeph Loeb for not only inviting me to play in their sandbox, but to pop in on their panel with the news. I?m a huge fan of the show, and now to be a part of it is pretty amazing.
But coming out to that rapturous reception from the audience has officially entered my list of top ten career moments ever.
edit: my apologies, I went a little crazy on this post kinda forgot heoroes existed, and then went on a news finding spree tonight, to those who are interested: enjoy.
FYI: NBC is doing "cast favorites", with interviews with cast members and such, it should be starting this monday, the ad made it sound like it was to prep for season two. I kinda figured that was still a long ways off. :shrug: Hey, if so, bring it on.
just checked NBC\'s site, season 2 September 24th!!! SWEET!
also, just a reminder DVD on August 28th
