Didn't see a thread about this anywhere. These articles are somewhat old though.
Sounds like a pretty interesting show. I'll give it a try at least. Plus it has Ali Larter, mmmmmm

TV Guide's Michael Ausiello has posted a great rundown of NBC's upcoming pilot Heroes, which he says might just be the next "Lost"! Dave Semel ("American Dreams") will direct the pilot about ordinary people who discover they have superpowers. The show stars Greg Grunberg, Ali Larter and Milo Ventimiglia. Here's a clip:
Just as Lost isn't really a show about a haunted island, Heroes isn't a show about crusaders, caped or otherwise. It's about people albeit ones with extraordinary quirks. "I kind of want to stay away from the superhero aspect," says Kring. "It's about very ordinary people all over the world who literally discover that they have special powers, and it's their dealing with that." The superheroes, er, ordinary people include a 30-year-old male nurse who believes he can fly and, unlike R. Kelly, really can; a 28-year-old junkie who has the ability to paint images of the future; a 33-year-old Las Vegas showgirl who can do incredible things with mirrors; a 24-year-old Japanese comic-book geek who literally makes time stand still; a 31-year-old inmate who can transport himself through walls (eat your heart out, Michael Scofield); and a 17-year-old cheerleader who defies death at every turn (think of Bruce Willis in Unbreakable, only with blonde hair and big pom-poms).

April 21, 2006
Emmy-winning "Alias" and "Lost" producer Jesse Alexander has signed a two-year overall deal with NBC Universal Television Studio, reports Variety.
Coming off a five-year stint on the J.J. Abrams' ABC/Touchstone TV dramas, Alexander was looking for his next project by reading pilot scripts when he came across Tim Kring's teleplay for the two-hour NBC pilot Heroes, about a group of seemingly everyday people who discover they have superpowers.
"The script was fantastic," Alexander said. "I liked Tim's vision of the world he created, and I liked the writing."
If Heroes goes to series, Alexander would serve as co-executive producer.
Alexander had been with "Alias" since the show's beginning, rising to executive producer this season. Last season, he was a co-executive producer on "Lost," helping to launch the hit series.
