Hostel writer/director Eli Roth and Superman Returns co-writer Michael Dougherty have each been hired to write an episode of Heroes: Origins, the anthology spinoff from NBC’s hit series. Roth will also direct his episode, which introduces new characters as they discover their extraordinary powers. Roth and Dougherty, both Heroes fans, join another big supporter of the show, Kevin Smith, who was previously set to write and direct an episode of Heroes: Origins. Dougherty, who also co-wrote X2, recently made his directorial debut with the upcoming Warner Brothers/Legendary Pictures horror movie Trick ‘r Treat, which he also wrote.
