Wednesday, August 29th, 2007M&C Heroes DVD Review
Monday, August 27th, 2007
‘Monsters & Critics’ have reviewed the Heroes DVD ahead of it’s release tomorrow. It’s a positive review and as always i’ve pulled out the most relevant bits for you.
I never took the time to watch “Heroes” when it aired on NBC, and honestly was only halfway interested in watching it on DVD. I thought that I would put on the first disc and see if it caught my interest. About 20 minutes into the first episode, I was hooked.
Unlike some TV on DVD sets (where the series’ flaws and formulaic feel starts to show upon watching episode after episode), “Heroes” manages to keep each episode feeling fresh, and holds your interest all the way through the set. As I said before, the characters never get annoying, and I never found myself waiting for one episode to finish so I could simply get to the next one.
The DVD packaging is also extremely nice and features more of Sale’s artwork mixed with stills from the show. Universal Studios Home Entertainment did this set right. They packed it full of bonus features that reward diehard fans of the show and make the set worth its price. Features include five featurettes, over 50 deleted scenes, and the 73-minute Tim Kring cut of the original series premiere that has never aired on television.
Further breakdown of the features are as follows:
Unaired Pilot: The Tim Kring Cut with Audio Commentary – A full 73 uninterrupted minutes of the original, unaired, extended pilot episode, as Heroes’ creator Tim Kring first envisioned it, with a character never seen.
The Making of Heroes – From concept to pop culture phenomenon, a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest new series on television
Special Effects – The secrets behind the eye-popping visuals that give the Heroes their amazing powers.
The Stunts – A back stage look at the show’s hair-raising stunts.
Mind Reader – Matt Parkman’s mind reading abilities reveal your inner Hero with a series of simple tests.
Profile of Artist Tim Sale – A look at the Eisner Award-winning comic book artist (Spiderman, Batman, Daredevil) behind much of the Manga-influenced artwork used in the show.
The Score – Go behind the scenes with Wendy Melvin and Lisa Coleman (of Prince’s The Revolution) as they create their ASCAP Award-winning musical score.
50 Deleted and Extended Scenes

Nichols is ‘Nana’, Pressure at the Top & Ali Larter Interview
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007A spokesperson for NBC has confirmed that former Startrek icon, Nichelle Nichols, will play ‘Nana’ – the New Orleans-based grandmother of fellow newbie, Monica (played by Dana Davis). We first brought you the news of Nichelle Nichols arrival yesterday.
Tim Kring and friends have also be talking about the pressure that the show is under to exceed expectations in Season 2.
“It’s pressure to keep it going,” Kring says. “This particular show has become a show defined by its ability to defy your expectations. People want that experience of watching the show and not knowing where it’s going to take them.”
I agree with that – Heroes is the type of show that has those impact moments each episode. It’s going to be interesting to see whether they can keep it as fresh and exciting.
Ben Silverman, NBC Co-Chairman, has also been speaking about extending the Heroes brand and reaching new viewers. One of the way they hope to achieve this is through the release of the Season 1 DVD (which goes on sale from August 28th – You can buy it through Heroes-Hype ;)).
The goal: gain viewers who haven’t watched and please fans with extra content.
“There’s like 50 extended and deleted scenes,” says Masi Oka, who plays Hiro. “You get to see the behind-the-scenes things, the making of, Tim Kring’s commentary on the 72-minute pilot that we premiered at Comic-Con.” (NBC aired a shorter version.)
I think just about everyone is looking forward to the DVD – personally I can’t wait for Kring’s commentary! Read more here.
Craveonlinehave an excellent interview with Ali Larter, who plays Nikki/Jessica. One of the things she reveals is that Season 2 will see the merging of her two alter-egos
They’re coming into one character. It’s only Nikki and I think the writers are so smart on this show that they really looked at what worked and what didn’t. To be able to focus on the one character is I think going to be the best move.
It will be interesting to see how they do this. Personally I loved how Ali switched between the 2 characters – perhaps they’ll still do this but using a slightly ‘tighter’, more contained formula?
