BLOG QUESTIONS - WEEK 2

Remember to write your questions in to: herosite@gmail.com

From Karim in Bordeaux:

1. What does it take to get in the business besides damn good ideas and perseverance?

Mostly it takes good ideas and perseverance. Also living in Los Angeles. The film and TV business is absolutely centered here and almost all jobs come from here.

2. Will HEROES have a solid ending on the soon-to-come-apocalypse and enter season 2 with a fresh new story? I hope it won’t go on forever and ever like LOST.

Yes. Yes. And it won’t.

From XvSablevX:

1. Are you killing off Peter and Mohinder? Cause to me they are the central characters of the show that can bind all the others together.

Only Tim Kring knows all. But if I were laying odds in Vegas I would bet that both of them have better than average chances for survival.

2. What does the future hold for Hiro and Ando?

There are many futures with many possibilities. Some are happy. Some are not.

From Charles:

1. What’s it like working with Michael Green? We are fans of EVERWOOD who’ve turned into this lovely series, have loved Michael’s writing for some time now and we were wondering if you could give us some insight into him and his work!

Michael Green is a lovely, hard working and charming guy. He worked on SMALLVILLE in season one, but I didn’t get to know him then because I was exclusively up in Canada that year. He has been a big creative contributor to the show this year – but as for insight?... Michael remains mysterious.




MICHAEL GREEN, MAN OF MYSTERY

2. When are you directing again? You are definitely in my top ten (it’s a pretty intense list) directors list. Keep up the good work!

I will direct episode 22. Intensely.

From Arnaud Bodet:

I was curious as to the region of Peter’s face in which the scar appears. Many are suggesting it’s at the forehead, considering what Sylar is currently doing to him, but I’m thinking it could be elsewhere. Milo requested a scar and future Hiro made a reference about it so I doubt there’ll be no scar at all. Hopefully one with as much insight as you could help clear up my muzzled mind.

Tune in to EP 20 on April 30th and all will be revealed.

From Brad Butler:

1. I read in an interview that you were going to take a “24”esque take on the seasons, meaning each season is a different story. All right, I can see that. I’m a fan of 24 as well! Does this mean though, that the heroes from this season (those who survive at least) will fade into just a memory of the beginning? Will some return as main characters and others as re-occurring? Going with the “24” theme, and without reveling specifics, will there be a “Jack Bauer” of HEROES, one character that stays persistent through the entire series?

Kind of a hybrid of all your hypotheses, based on the little I know. But then, Season 2 is just now being theorized by Tim Kring and our crack writing staff.

2.I know you don’t have any direct control over this, but I’ve yet to hear back from NBC. The HEROES 360 Experience. It’s beautiful, wonderful, interactive…and seemingly unavailable in Canada. Canadians are people too! I don’t know how much sway you can give with the Network, but any at all would be helpful! As I said, I need my HEROES fix.

Sorry. I know nothing of this. But I lived in Canada myself recently for 4 years working on a different TV show. Things are different there, even when they feel like they shouldn’t be. The TV stations, and Internet service for two. I know I couldn’t buy mp3s on iTunes in Canada two years ago, for instance – even though I could in France and Germany… Your problem sounds similar.

3.While I’m here, anything I can answer for you? You’ve asked all these people to ask you questions, I think it’s only fair that I offer you the same courtesy!

Is iTunes available in Canada now?

From Stephanie:

My question is about the HEROES music. I’ve noticed that the score is very unique and the background music often feels like an orchestral style, almost like the background music in epic feature films. The musical score from “Company Man” was especially strong and poignant and I think was strong in itself, and it made me wonder. To the composer of the music on HEROES, are you planning to put the music together in a soundtrack? If not, do you have clips of your music without episode dialogue? Sheet music? I’m as fascinated in the music as I am fascinated in the background score of movies like TITANIC, ET and anything John Williams wrote.

Our music is composed by Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman. You might remember them as Wendy and Lisa, who played with Prince and the Revolution in the 80’s. Besides continuing to play rock and roll, they have had a long career doing film and TV scores.


WENDY AND LISA

Here are some of their credits:

- Nominated for a Grammy for Best Music Video, Long Form for Prince and the Revolution LIVE! (1985)
- Won a Grammy for Best Album of Instrumental Score Written for a Motion Picture or TV Special for PURPLE RAIN (1984)
- Composers for: HEROES, CARNIVALE (TV, which Clea DuVall was also on), JUWANNA MAN (film), CROSSING JORDAN, SOUL FOOD (film)
- Both also acted in PURPLE RAIN

I agree that HEROES music is haunting and unique. Tim Kring, from the very beginning, had a strong sense of what he wanted the show’s music to be. Evocative, world music, heavily percussive without traditional instrumentation.

I plan on doing a more extensive blog exclusively about our music at some point in the future. Probably for the season finale.

From Acacia:

Is there going to be more Eden stuff in future episodes? Further reveals on her storyline, characters who knew her talking about her, anything about such an excellent character would win my eternal worship.

None is planned, as far as I know. In the present reality Eden is dead.

From Anna-Maria Jurma:

Hi, I’m a big fan of the show and thought Episode 18 was fantastic! There’s just one question I had… If Sylar’s abilities were impaired by the drug Mohinder had given him, how did he stop his IV in the first place? If there were a shot in the show that tells us this, I’d love to know. Thanks!

I think Sylar has incredible will power and physical strength. I think he used his telekinetic abilities to reverse his blood flow and willed the drug back into the i.v. (That was actually in an earlier draft, but we didn’t end up shooting it that way.) Basically Mohinder monologued him for too long and should have shot him while he had the chance.

Next week: more questions answered.

Yes iTunes is available in Canada now, but only music, music videos and audiobooks.
No TV shows or movies, alas.

Great use of the term "monologued"!

Another nice entry, though I must admit Hiatus Week 1 questions were a little bit better.

I was too excited wondering if I'd see my "hiro's powers question" posted, mostly because I'm really intrigued about them... especially after being deeply involved in Hiro's blog puzzle (which has been satisfactory solved by a bunch of users at 9th Wonders' Forums.)

Anyway, it's been to weeks already. We're getting near Episode 19 :D

I've read that Heroes will imitate 24 narrative style. Please tell me it's not true. I personally love the majority of the characters from season 1 (especially the Petrelli brothers) and was hoping to see them again in future seasons. Before this, I thought what you guys meant was more like similar main characters but different supporting/villains.
Anonymous said…
Ha! That silly Mohinder, always getting his bad self into buckets of trouble. He knew who he was dealing with and totally couldhave taken him out, but what would be the dramatic tension in that? Nowhere, fast.

The wait until episode 20 is totally going to be the end of me! Twice the Hiro, scarified Peter... what won't this show do to make me happy?

I will, however, be EXTREMELY saddened if my favorite characters go byebye at season's end. If there's no more Hiro to come I may have to cry. That is all.

hi!

this is my first time commenting for a TV show. i love heroes! and i watch every week with my 13 year old son. i can't wait for the next installment! i really hope that the producers and writers don't killed off the brothers, mohinder and hiro. because i feel that mohinder is the link. the brothers need to be on several season to add to the continuity of the show otherwise i think the show will lose viewers. don't kill off the main characters for rating and hype! if the story line needs a character to die, then so be it-but don't just knock of a beloved character for the hype.

i think sylar needs to suffer more-and maybe the writers should make it look like the heroes killed off sylar, but like lazarus he keeps resurrecting back to maim and steal another hero's powers.

great job! the best ride ever!

That's funny what you said about Mohinder. During that scene I told my husband that Mohinder must never watch TV or he would have already learned a valuable lesson: always shoot the bad guy immediately when you have a chance.
Flit said…
"present reality" it's words like that which give me hope...

“Mohinder monologued him for too long and should have shot him while he had the chance” and ones like this make me laugh.

Hi Greg,

How did certain actors got selected to do the commentary for the NBC site? Would we ever see Adrian Pasdar and Milo Ventimiglia doing a commentary about their characters together?

Also, what's the plan for the DVD? What kind of extras will be in it? Would there be bloopers reel? Unseen cuts? Test screen? More commentary?
Abby said…
God, I loved the music on Carnivale! I always sang along with the opening score, even though it didn't have words.

I really, really want to get my mom into Heroes. She loves Lost and always has theories I would never even dream up. However, it's the type of show you have to watch from the beginning to get. I was just wondering if you were planning to re-air the season during the summer? If you were, I would love you forever. (Not that I don't already, just saying.)

Stephanie - You can download songs from the show here: http://heroessongs.blogspot.com/

Abby – You can purchase the episodes from the iTunes store, for $1.99 an episode ($35.82 to get caught up), or a season pass that will include the next five episodes for$42.99. IMHO It's worth it, you can rewatch episodes at great quality whenever you want.
Abby said…
Anonymous - thanks for the info, but my mom can't sit up in a chair for 45 minutes at a time. She had major neck surgery just recently. In short, YOU BEST RE-AIR THE SEASON HEROES PEOPLE.

Also, I don't have $1.99, as sad as that is.

spoilers everywhere! arrgh! Hope I see more Petrelli. are there any spin-offs in the offing? What was the use of Charlie if she is dead right now and wont come back in any form in the show? Just to show that Hiro's powers have limits? duh, we knew thaat.
and a really interesting question, Greg, do you need another assistant? I would love to work for this awesome show :)

Please don't let Peter and Nathan be dead. I've already stopped watching Lost which turned into a silly nightime soap and 24 which had no coherent story line this season. Without an adult and a maturing young moral center as lead characters, Heroes is left with leads I'm not particularly interested in - a comic book character, an absent minded professor and a schizophrenic.

Hey Greg:

Great blog, man!

Thanks to you, Tim and all the crew for the show, is awesome, I love it.

I'm waiting for the next episode (I'm from Chile, we're on the "Godsend" episode the next friday) and the next season.

I hope the dvd, with all the stuff, making of, interviews, bloppers, deleted escenes, etc will show soon :D

Greetings from Chile to y'all

hi!

I would really appreciate if you could answer these questions for me please.

1) If peter can absorb charles's power (presumably seeing invisible people) why is he not able to see the future himself as the RN talking to Charles's daughter?

2)What is Peter's mother's power,(if she has one, Even if it has not been revealed in season 1, its effects should become apparent with peter's absorbing it, rt? Was there an unexplained power that peter has?

3) it took suresh, bennett et al molly's help to find out that sylar is at issac's loft, how did ando know this by himself ?


4) If people in the older generation (Charles, lindermann etc) know of the impending bomb, how come none of them are trying to stop it? there should be at least some like peter and claire etc in the younger generation.

Thanks
