1-ON-1: TALKING WITH “HEROES” CREATOR TIM KRING
by Jonah Weiland, Executive Producer
Posted: September 21, 2006
Tim Kring, the creator of the Monday debuting “Heroes”
on NBC, is no stranger to television. He’s worked on a diverse array of
series, from “Providence” to “Chicago Hope,” finding success in each of
his creative ventures. Six years ago he launched “Crossing Jordan” on
NBC and despite all the challenges television programming presents, the
show has been a real success and is beginning it’s seventh season this
year. While he certainly has his hands full with “Crossing Jordan,”
it’s clear that Kring isn’t one to sit still for very long.
His latest series
“Heroes” presents a world filled with a handful of people who exhibit
extraordinary power. Many who’ve seen the show’s pilot have compared it
to “Lost,” based on the similarities of a large, ensemble cast and a
greater mythology that runs throughout the show. But as you probably
gathered from the CBR review of the show run yesterday,
while the powers these individuals exhibit will play a factor, the
primary focus of the show is on character and how these people deal
with these new found powers.
And while the show
isn’t based on a pre-existing universe or comic, the show’s production
staff is filled with comic fans and two very prominent comic creators –
Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, who both add legitimacy to the concept amongst
comic fans.
A couple of weeks back
I spoke with Kring at length about the series, it’s development, the
mythology of the show and much more. Kring’s an affable and friendly
guy, which made the 35 minute conversation feel like five minutes by
the time we were done.
