Heroes: Origins, the much anticipated spinoff/side-project said to be featuring a new hero each week and calling on the powers of some of Hollywood’s most creative minds has been officially dealt the final blow. Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC, said that the Origins project is now officially scrapped and noted that NBC felt like the project would be too taxing on the Heroes creative team and that it would be better for the main show not to spread themselves too thin.

The WGA strike first docked the project in November, but now it seems like it wont enough support to get off of the ground again. It’s a shame to see such a great idea go to waste, but we have high hopes that more interesting collaboration projects in the same spirit as “Origins” will show up again in the future.
