Cool news for fans of NBC’s Heroes: it looks like the show is going to start filming a lot earlier than it usually does.Shows usually start filming in July/August for the fall season, but according to Heroes star James Kyson Lee (Ando), the writers strike means that the show will start filming in June, and maybe as early as May. He says that NBC plans to really push the show this year, using the Olympics to hype the show.
That’s the good news. The (possible) bad news is that TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello is reporting that Kristen Bell isn’t signed for the new season yet.
He does believe that she will eventually be signed though, because fans like her so much.
I’m curious though: Veronica Mars memories aside, do you Heroes fans like her character on the show? Is she necessary to the plot? I like her story arc. I see her either coming over to the side of the good guys (if she signs a long-term contract) or completely going crazy because of the way her father has been treating her and trying to destroy everyone and eventually dying in a really dramatic way.
Bell turned down the role of Charlotte on Lost to take the Heroes gig.

February 25, 2008 – Universal’s WonderCon 2008 presentation for its upcoming comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall was exactly what you think it would be: hilarious. With stars Jason Segal (who also wrote the screenplay), Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis, Russell Brand, Jack McBrayer; director Nicholas Stoller; and producer Shauna Robertson all in attendance, what else could you expect?
In fact, Stoller kicked off the festivities by showing an extended trailer very similar in nature to the international red band trailer (which you can see below — 17 and older only) only toned down for the mixed WonderCon audience.
Then he brought his cast and producer out onto the stage. But before opening the panel up to questions from the audience, he felt it was important to put Segal (who plays Peter Bretter in the film — the lead character who is trying to forget his ex-girlfriend, actress Sarah Marshall) on the spot by asking him how he prepared for his many nude scenes.
“I had a little bit of whiskey and I tried to get the room as warm as possible because there were 300 people there. That was about it. I tried to focus on good things,” said Segal as the audience burst into laughter. “OK. Look. If we’re going to do this, let’s do it. You have this short window of when you can shoot the scene and you don’t want to go out and look like you’ve been in a freezing cold room. But you also don’t want to go out like you’re ready to go. You know what I’m saying? So there’s a fine line of the proper amount of… five minutes, that’s all I need.”

I’m very late, I know, but I had lots of work this week, so sorry. Anyways, it seems like Kristen has a new project and it looks pretty good, read a part of a Cheryl Hines (the director) interview:
Johnson: Can we talk a little bit about the film? You just directed your first feature.
Hines: I just directed a film called Serious Moonlight, which was written by (the late) Adrienne Shelly. It stars Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton, Kristen Bell and Justin Long. It was a pretty amazing process. We shot it in three weeks. It was very intense.
Johnson: What’s the plot?
Hines: A man is trying to leave his wife, and she basically takes him hostage and says, “No, you’re not.†It’s a bit of a dark comedy with a little romance. Very little.
