Heroes: Origins Killed

The looming writers strike has claimed its first victim -- NBC has cancelled plans for HEROES: ORIGINS, reports VARIETY. The planned six-episode spinoff would have been an anthology series revealing the origin of a new hero each episode. Eli Roth, Kevin Smith and Michael Dougherty (SUPERMAN RETURNS) had been tapped to write and direct an episode each. Insiders are saying that, like all superhero deaths, the permanency of the move is never certain. Some say the new show could make a valiant return as soon as next season.
