News: Heroes

Francis Capra who played Weevil on Veronica Mars is joining the cast of Heroes this fall and has secured a recurring role, TV Guide has reported. Capra will play "a mysterious character who turns out to be evil". The story will have him cross paths with Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia).

The role may reunite him with fellow Veronica Mars cast member Kristen Bell. Who will be returning in her role as the Elle Bishop in the upcoming third season. I'm looking forward to see both of them again on the small screen.

We've had a few tips from readers that JJ Abram's latest television series Project entitled "Fringe" has had its pilot episode leaked online.

It didn't take much digging to confirm with many torrent search engines showing it available. An amazing 85 days before it is due to premier savvy net users are downloading and previewing the show in large numbers. At the time of posting the torrent is showing 10,000 users connected to one of the torrents alone.

Users report that the Pilot is "a little unpolished" and "the shows introduction is missing but overall the pilot lacks any Studio Water Marks or copyright messages" which normally are found on such "DVD Screeners".

Jericho fans found themselves in a similar situation when the first three episodes of season 2 found themselves online weeks before they were scheduled to air. I'm sure Fox will begin investigations into how the leak occurred. Unless it was a planned promotional stunt, hoping to sir up a fan base before the shows launch to help ensure its success. We have seen Fox focusing on increase positive fan relations of late.

News: Dollhouse

Quite a few Dollhouse fan sites are reporting that Fox has ordered that some scenes of the pilot episode of Joss Whedon's new television series Dollhouse be reshot.

Many could read into this as Fox continuing to medal with Joss's vision. But this may just be that Fox's plans to have less advertising during Dollhouse means that a few extra minutes are needed to fill the gaps.

Fox have also taken a step to better communicate with would be fans by starting their own blog. A welcome change, as many fans blame Fox for Firefly's cancellation.

News: Jericho

SCI FI Wire is reporting that Jericho Fans have sponsored more than 200 local advertisements on cable TV in an hope to return the show to the air.

"Fans of the twice-cancelled CBS series Jericho are continuing their campaign to bring the show back by sponsoring more than 200 local ad spots to air on cable TV stations in the Los Angeles area."

Based on what we saw last season, i would rather see the show dead. As it was clear that the production team had run out of ideas and stories. Only time will tell if the fan's efforts are in vain.
