Kristen Bell - Kristen in Heroes #3: Because they all love her, from the cast to the composers!

**the echo fades** · 12-09-2007, 04:25 PM

Kristen will star in "Heroes" this fall on NBC.

The announcement was made by "Heroes" executive producer/creator Tim Kring, who said: "This was not easy to pull off. But since we're an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in her schedule. I pitched her the idea we have for the character, which she loved, and we're off and running."

"Kristen Bell is a very special actress," said Universal Media Studios President Katherine Pope. "With so many studios chasing her in both film and TV, we're beyond delighted that she chose to star on our show. Viewers are going to love her in this role. The depth and complexity that she brings as an actress is a perfect fit for 'Heroes.'"

I thought it was appropriate! Hee.

TWoP must be down, the link's not working.. tried accessing it from the main site but won't work that way either

**silvercrystal** · 12-10-2007, 04:53 PM

You are the grand master of thread making! :bow:

Volume 2 was pretty Elle packed. She was in it to a greater extent than some of the characters, at least it seemed like that. Not that I'm complaining! I just hope this is a sign that she'll be a main character in Volume 3.

**the echo fades** · 12-10-2007, 05:35 PM

Hee! Do I get a cookie for that?

Oh yeah, I really think/hope that Volme 3 (whenever we get it) will have tons of Elle. There are so many places for her storyline to go, it's great. They've left lots of doors open for her

i like cookie

Of course you get cookies! *takes out a tray of freshly baked cookies*

Ahhh! Elle based Chapter! Yay! Can't wait to read more, Elle/Claire stuff is always interesting.

thanks for the new thread it is absoulutly awesome!

Interview with Heroes artist Tim Sale

Quote:

Q: Who is your favourite Hero and who do like to draw the best, is it Ali Larter, I read somewhere you have a crush on her?

I don't really have a favourite favourite, but I enjoy the Claire and HRG story line every time it's on. I like drawing the bad guy, Sylar, the best because he is so dramatic and similar to many evil do-ers that I've drawn in comics. Ali is certainly beautiful, but as far as crushworthy, Kristen Bell, a new character this season, is on the top of my list.

It really does look like everyone associated with Heroes loves Kristen!

And thanks for the links, Chris.

Yay! Just like Ali Larter was passing out on the picket lines yesterday

I'm glad Kristen was down there with them

The chapter was fun, but we're not supposed to take it as canon, right? Because I can't imagine Bob actually letting Elle loose in a high school

And hee, I love that quote from Tim Sale. Everyone really does have a crush on her

**silvercrystal** · 12-13-2007, 02:56 PM

Haha yes! Just like Ali! That's what Volume 2 was lacking. Elle/Nikki clips. or Elle/Jessica. We need more of them in Volume 3, well dependant on what happens with Nikki.
