Eli Roth to Write/Direct Heroes Origins

IGN report that Hostel writer and directer, Eli Roth, will be writing/directing an episode of Heroes spin-off series, ‘Origins’.

IGN also report that two other writers will be contributing in ‘Origins’:

The other two names were John August, writer of Big Fish and writer/director of the independent film The Nines, along with Michael Dougherty, who was co-writer of Bryan Singer’s X2, as well as Superman Returns. It appears that Kring may have jumped the gun in the interview however, as NBC has not confirmed the involvement of anyone other than Smith. However, they’re not denying it either. And as far as details about Heroes, there are probably few sources as credible as Tim Kring. What he may not have known was the details of the particular deals for each of the writers or directors, so anything can still happen at this point.
