Variety is reporting that NBC pulled the plug on Heroes: Origins because of the possible Writer's strike.
The side project for Heroes is dead like Claire for the time being. Meaning at this point it is like a piece of wood in her head, as long as it is in there she is dead, but pull out the stake and she is alive.
Heroes: Origins had names like Kevin Smith and Eli Roth attached to it but that was not enough for the NBC, who is having financial problems due to falling ratings, to save the the side project for now.
While NBC is not saying it is officially dead, but once they kill something it is more like Issac Mendez's death than Claire's. I am rooting it is more like Claire's death and NBC will pull the stake out soon.
