Novedades de Heroes en el Comic Con

Comparte

Por el tremendo rebote en los medios, el de este año ha sido el San Diego Comic Con más mainstream de su historia. Las productoras gringas han aprovechado que toda la atención friki se concentra en esta convención para lanzar sus grandes anuncios: desde la prometedora película de Iron Man hasta la cuarta entrega de Indiana Jones y mucho más.

En medio de la vorágine noticiosa, han pasado casi desaparecibidas las novedades del volumen 2 de Heroes. Quizás la mayoría no sabe que la serie se lanzó oficialmente en el Comic Con 2006 y, como agradecimiento por el éxito de la serie, este año todo su elenco asistió a la conferencia. Las novedades y SPOILERS, vía Newsarama:

• Kevin Smith will write and direct an episode of Heroes: Origins, the six-episode anthology spinning off from the hit NBC series.

• (Jeph) Loeb (el ~~historietista~~ escritor de cómics que también guioniza la serie) showed Alex Ross and Jim Lee’s covers to the forthcoming Heroes graphic novel collections from DC/Wildstorm.

• Origins was then discussed. It will use separate writers and directors from the regular show, to avoid further taxing the existing staff.

• Loeb said that Origins would run at the end of April as six consecutive episodes. It was clarified that the show was a stand-alone anthology series in the Heroes universe, and was not a way of mining new characters for the main show.

• The idea, according to (Tim) Kring (el creador de la serie) is to reinvent the show each season. Volume 2 might not be an entire season long.

• Asked if the cast would ever feature “any strong female characters who aren’t cheerleaders or strippers,” Loeb replied, “absolutely” He mentioned another new character, Monica, from the flood-ravaged area of New Orleans. Kring pointed out cheerleading and stripping was where the characters started, but the show was about defying expectations, as the characters found “the hero within them” during the arc of the show.

Además, Kring mostró un adelanto exclusivo del Volumen 2. Aquí lo tienen, la calidad es pésima, pero yo sé que no les importa:

Por si no se entendió, Newsarama lo describe: The fast-paced montage of clips showed the characters all over world. Suresh is being followed again. Nathan has a thick beard, and is being reprimanded by his mother for “killing” Peter. There’s a dark, evil voice threatening the others. Claire cut off something that made the crowd gasp (su dedo). And yes, there’s David Anders from Alias as a samurai.
