'Heroes' creator 'hopeful' for revival
By Morgan Jeffery, TV Reporter
Heroes creator Tim Kring has revealed that he is still in talks with NBC about the possibility of reviving the show as a mini-series.
The show was originally cancelled in May. Kring confirmed last month that he was meeting with NBC to discuss bringing the program back.
He has now told TV Guide that talks are still ongoing and that he is "hopeful" that the series will return soon.
"There's certainly talk about [a mini-series] right now and I am very hopeful," he said. "I strongly believe that the Heroes universe is a very big and very potent brand. It is for the fans that we feel that [the show] should continue."
He added: "NBC has expressed an interest in finding a way to wrap it up in a way that honours the fans and the show, and I'm very interested in pursuing that."
Kring hinted that if the planned television revival did not come to fruition, the show could return in another medium.
"It can continue in any number of platforms, not simply broadcast," he said.
The final episode of Heroes aired on February 8.

Heroes: Greg Grunberg Still Believes the Movie Will Happen
Published: August 28, 2010
In a recent interview with the NY Post, actor Greg Grunberg said that he believes that a Heroes movie will eventually be made.
The NBC series was cancelled last spring after four seasons and a decline in ratings. Heroes creator Tim Kring has said that he wants to make a movie and would like to keep his fictional universe alive.
Grunberg said, “I think there has to be [a movie]… But I also predicted they wouldn’t just out and out cancel it, so what do I know?”
He continued, “It makes business sense to do something — there’s a huge fanbase that wants some sort of conclusion and I think the actors want to do it. It’s not about making a fortune to come back — we all appreciate the fans so much, I think if the call went out, we’d all be on board.”
