Tim Kring unsure about 'Heroes' movie

Tim Kring has suggested that it may be some time before a Heroes movie is made.

The showrunner first floated the idea after it emerged that NBC had cancelled the show.

Kring has now told Entertainment Weekly that no decision has been made on possible spinoffs.

"The Heroes brand is an extremely broad premise," he continued. "It was a premise about ordinary people, an undisclosed number of people all over the world, who were waking up to these extraordinary abilities. Any number of stories could happen around that."

He added: "We never posited a single ending or a single premise. It wasn't about getting off of an island or stopping something from happening. We told stories in volumes that had a beginning, a middle and an end. Those volumes could go on and on and on with many different characters. As a result, that Heroes universe is something that can be tapped into again in many ways."

However, Kring hinted that he would like to wait a while before working on a movie.

"Clearly, there is an entire world and a number of platforms that this property could live in," he said. "Movies sometimes need a little distance from the television show."
