‘Heroes Reborn’ Is Getting Killed Off By Angie Han/Jan. 13, 2016 1:00 pm EST Back in 2006, long before superhero shows had saturated every corner of your TV guide, Heroes was a smash success for NBC. Critics loved it, and audiences adored it. But the wobbly end to season one portended dark times ahead, and not just within the narrative. Season two was a confusing mess mercifully cut short by the WGA strike, and by the time Heroes finally limped to a finish with its fourth season in 2010, it was a mere shadow of its former self....

Alex Garland Came Up With The Story Idea For ‘28 Months Later’ By Russ Fischer/May 13, 2015 6:00 am EST Ex Machina director Alex Garland’s second major film was 28 Days Later, which he wrote for director Danny Boyle. The sequel to that film was only exec produced by Garland, and in general the writer/producer/director hasn’t seemed much interested in making sequels.
