Tim Kring Addresses Adrian Pasdar Rumors, Heroes Death
9 November 2009 12:15 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
The rumors are true: Adrian Pasdar is leaving Heroes.
But the manner in which the actor learned of his character's fate is nothing but conjecture. Sources have claimed Pasdar was never told about Nathan's death; he reportedly read the storyline in a script.
Not true, says creator Tim Kring.
“We talked openly with Adrian about [his departure] several months ago and have kept him abreast of where his arc was headed - he always knew what was going on,” Kring told TV Guide Magazine. “This is a guy who is much loved by us all, and these disparaging reports about the way things were handled couldn’t be further from the truth. Adrian is a leader among the cast, a true friend and a real gentleman.”
Fans have been dismayed over the news of Nathan's death. After all, this is a character that's already dead! It feels like a rip-off.
However, Kring »

'Heroes' death to be "an epic battle"
4 November 2009 8:22 AM, PST | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Heroes producer Adam Armus has promised that "an epic battle" will take place before a leading character is killed off on the show. Speaking to Sci Fi Wire, Armus revealed that Adrian Pasdar's exit from the NBC series follows the climax of the Nathan-Sylar story. "We all know that Nathan Petrelli last year was killed, and his mind was put into Sylar's body and shape-shifted into Nathan," Armus said. "We made some commitments last year, and we've committed that there is going to be an epic battle between two characters and who's going to win and who's going to lose. "That's something we've been planning all this year. So we know that someone has to lose. "This whole Sylar (more) »

Clarification on the Big Heroes Death…..Just in Case You Were Confused (As We Were)
3 November 2009 4:54 PM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
Were you as confused as I was by the news that Adrian Pasdar was the actor who had been let go from Heroes? We all saw Nathan die at the end of the last season and a lot of people, myself included, thought that he was definitely dead when Nylar got shot and Sylar regained possession of his body. Apparently we were wrong.
The confusion over this was rampant (and a lot of people called out Heroes for the un-classy way in which Pasdar was fired – he apparently read about it in a script instead of being told face-to-face), so an executive producer (Adam Armus) has given an interview to SciFi Wire:
"We all know that Nathan Petrelli last year was killed, and his mind was put into Sylar's body and shape-shifted into Nathan," said Armus. "We made some commitments last year, and we've committed that there is going to »

Buzz Break: Up From the Past

· Just in case Pixar's original marketing for Up just wasn't high-concept, arty or sophisticated enough for you, a collection of designers revised a few of the film's components for a retro-style campaign. If they can ever figure out what it means, those Pixar-averse Academy blue-hairs will love it!
· Vincent Kartheiser acknowledged that he cried at his Mad Men co-stars Elisabeth Moss and Christina Hendricks' recent weddings. Ouch. That'll ding Pete Campbell in next week's final Power Rankings.
· So about those Adrian Pasdar-leaving-Heroes rumors: Don't click here if you want to know whether or not they're true.
· Kathy Griffin will host ABC's new show Let's Dance, in which celebrities will team to comically recreate famous dance sequences from movies, TV and music videos. Joan Rivers in Flashdance is literally the first idea that came to mind for me. Sure, I'd watch that.

The Many Deaths Of Nathan Petrelli On 'Heroes'
3 November 2009 11:49 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Last month, some controversy arose in the "Heroes" department following word that a male series regular — one who had been with the show since its first season — would be unceremoniously written off at some point in the near future.
After weeks of fan speculation, Deadline Hollywood Daily has let the cat out of the bag that the soon-to-be-deceased character is none other than flight-worthy politician Nathan Petrelli, played by actor Adrian Pasdar. It's hard to classify the news as a spoiler, particularly considering Petrelli's death at the end of the last season... and the season before that... and the season before that.
To date, the ill-fated senator has gone through more deaths than any one super-man should have to endure. Here are all of the ones that I can remember—head to the comments and let me know if I'm missing any.

Major Heroes Death: Revealed!
3 November 2009 4:05 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
As previously reported, Heroes is killing off a major character this season. Stop reading now if you don't want to find out this individual's identity.
Multiple sources have confirmed that the end is near for Adrian Pasdar as Nathan. The actor is reportedly angry over being let go, as producers never even told him about Nathan's fate.
He read about it in the script.
“He was hurt that the producers didn’t tell him first,” said a source. “He deserved better.”
We know what many of you are thinking: isn't Nathan already dead?!? Didn't he technically die at the end of season three; and again, even, a couple weeks ago?
Yes and yes. Considering how much the series has built up this supposedly shocking death, it's disappointing to learn it will be Nathan.
To many critics, it's storylines such as this which are a significant reason NBC is likely to »

Zachary Quinto's Sylar Could Find True Identity in 'Heroes' Soon
2 November 2009 11:10 PM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
Rumor has it, Sylar, a character portrayed by Zachary Quinto, will find his original identity in the fourth season of "Heroes". It has been known that, in season 3 finale, psychic cop Greg Grunberg's Matt Parkman shoved the memories and personality of Adrian Pasdar's Nathan Petrelli into the villain's head after he killed the senator. Since then, Sylar lives as Nathan while trying to figure out his true identity.
Recently, Sylar is said to get his memories back and transform his Nathan's body into the real one. The speculation raised after E! Online reported that the biological father of Hayden Panettiere's Claire Bennet will be killed off once again in the show's fourth season. "I know Adrian is getting killed off and was pissed about it because they didn't tell him," a source told the site.
Previously, Greg stated in an interview with a radio station that Nathan »

The looker gets killed off in 'Heroes'
2 November 2009 6:48 PM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
The good looking guy on "Heroes" is being killed off. Adrian Pasdar has been revealed as the "major character" who Heroes' writers have planned his demise as this season's twist. Actor Adrian Pasdar has portrayed lead character Nathan Petrelli since the very first episode. Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood broke the news, and writes, "Given the failure of NBC network primetime these days, and Jeff Zucker's zeal to save money on shows, I wonder if the 4th season Heroes cast now will be whittled down to just people who can lift a fork from their plate to their mouth in order to save CGI costs." »

Big Heroes Death Revealed
2 November 2009 6:47 PM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
A few weeks ago we reported on a story about a major death planned for Heroes. E!Online's Kristen refused to name the victim and speculation ran rampant, since we were told that it would be one of the original, core characters.
Earlier today, Greg Grunberg insisted that the Petrelli brothers would be safe. I myself had thought that Peter would be the one killed off, but Grunberg's statement seemed to disprove that.
Then Nikki Finke over at Dhd said that Adrian Pasdar (Nathan Petrelli) was the person who had been fired from the show. Those of you who have been following the storyline know that Nathan died at the end of season 3, but Parkman and Mama Petrelli turned Sylar into Nathan. Sylar recently transformed back into himself and Nathan disappeared, but there was always the hope that he would return.
Well, something got lost in translation, because Kristen is »

Nathan Petrelli Is Killed on 'Heroes'
2 November 2009 6:35 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
The "Heroes" character who will be killed off is none other than Peter's flying brother. Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood said that Adrian Pasdar is let go from the show and Kristin Dos Santos from E! Online added that the actor was not fired but he found it out from reading the script.
Nathan was actually one of the characters whom actor Greg Grunberg said was safe when the news about a major death in "Heroes" leaked last month. Santos' source said, "I know Adrian is getting killed off and was pissed about it because they didn't tell him...Greg could be talking about another death but I think he's probably covering and throwing fans off." There is still no word on how Nathan's exit from the show will be.
"Heroes" which is struggling to stay on top of the surface with its rating, has been killing off characters in »

Major Death Revealed: Heroes Is Killing Off Adrian Pasdar

As I have been teasing for weeks, Heroes is killing off a major character later this season. The death is a huge twist for the show, so I didn't want to ruin the surprise for you, but now that another outlet has leaked the secret, it's time for me to reveal the truth: Adrian Pasdar's Nathan Petrelli is the major character death happening on Heroes this season, and no, he wasn't told he was getting fired, he learned about it from a script. But what about reports from fellow Heroes castmembers that the Petrelli brothers were definitely safe?

Adrian Pasdar Let Go From NBC's 'Heroes'
2 November 2009 3:39 PM, PST | Deadline Hollywood | See recent Deadline Hollywood news »
So I watched this show its first season, loved it, and then never watched again. (My inner geek was satiated.) Still, Adrian Pasdar's forced exit is surprising unless flying is no longer considered a cool enough capability. More likely is that the show keeps suffering lousy ratings because it never recovered from being interrupted during the writers strike. (Poor Tim Kring was collateral damage as well as his Heroes sequel.) Here are all the superheroes who've been axed from the series since Day One: Season 1 -- Tawny Cypress, Santiago Cabrera; Season 2 -- Noah Gray-Cabey, Dana Davis, Kristen Bell, Leonard Roberts; Season 3 [...] »

Heroes' Adrian Pasdar to Be Killed Off!
2 November 2009 1:31 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
We reported a few weeks ago that a major character would be killed off from Heroes this season, and now we know who. E! Online is reporting that Adrian Pasdar's Nathan Petrelli will be killed off this season on Heroes.
It was said that Pasdar wasn't warned about his fate and learned about it through his final script. It wasn't said when Pasdar's Petrelli would be killed off exactly, only that it would be sometime this season.
One of the show's other stars, Greg Grunberg, recently told a radio station that both Pasdar and Milo Ventmiglia, who plays Nathan's brother Peter, were both "safe" this season, but the site's source confirmed that it was in fact Pasdar.

'Heroes' To Part Ways With One Of Its Original Stars
2 November 2009 1:22 PM, PST | AirlockAlpha.com | See recent Airlock Alpha news »
This story contains possible spoilers for NBC's "Heroes." For the last couple weeks, there have been a number of hints -- many of them confirmed by series star Greg Grunberg -- that there would be a major departure from "Heroes." But now it has been confirmed: One of the original actors on the NBC show that has been rumored to be ending this season is gone. The sad part was, he apparently didn't know until after he read the script and discovered his death. The dearly departed? Nathan Petrelli, played by Adrian Pasdar. "Adrian Pasdar's Nathan Petrelli is the major character death happening on 'Heroes' this season, and no, he wasn't told he was getting fired," E! Online reporter Kristin Dos Santos reported. "He learned about it from a script." This news flies in the face of statements ... »
31 Days of Horror: Near Dark
20 October 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Near Dark (1987) Synopsis: A cowboy (Adrian Pasdar) meets a pretty, young gal at the local saloon and discovers too late that her kiss includes a double-pronged love bite of vampiric proportions. Mae (Jenny Wright) and her blood-sucking vampire family (half the cast of Aliens) take Caleb for a ride in their Winnebago and try to make him one of them. But as any good cowboy would, Caleb fights his transformation and sets about rescuing the pale-skinned love of his life. The family isn't too keen on that idea of course and soon the small Texas town is awash in blood, burning flesh, and bar fights. Killer Scene: Speaking of bar fights... Caleb's introduction to the family's unique hobby occurs in a sleazy bar almost halfway into the movie. After insulting the bartender and patrons ("shit-kicker heaven"), the blood-letting begins with a waitress getting her throat slit. More deaths follow including a broken neck, shotgun »
