THE SKINNY: Kristen Bell fans won't have to wait long to spot the her on HEROES: The VERONICA MARS actress will be appearing on the second hour of the season premiere on Sept. 22.
According to creator/exec producer/writer Tim Kring, "You will see her in the second hour of the first night's act. She is integral and plays a very large part in the entire volume. You'll see plenty of Kristen."
Kring goes on to reveal that "what's interesting is that one of the fun things about doing this show with this big of a cast is that the audience will be surprised at the pairing up of the cast. Characters that have never even crossed paths with each other will have very interesting pairings. There are are several of the actors on the show that have literally never been in scenes together before. Finding those combinations keeps it very fresh."
On the show, Bell plays Elle Bishop, the daughter of Company head Robert Bishop. She possesses the power to manipulate electricity.
As far as other famous guest stars, Kring emphasizes that "this volume focuses on the core characters."
"In this volume, it's not about bringing in side casting," he says. "With people like George Takei, they were the right person for the part."
The third season of HEROES kicks off with a two-part event on Sept. 22 at 9 PM.

Veronica Mars Movie Details
Filed in: Movies
It's sounding more and more likely that a "Veronica Mars" movie might actually happen and I think it's got to do a lot to do with who the producer on the thing is, Joel Silver. Silver can pretty much snap his fingers and have Warner Bros lick his boots if he'd wanted them to - and you'll have noticed how shiny his shoes are.
Silver loved the show. He was a huge fan of it - and Kristen Bell (read into that what you will). I'm sure he's one of the driving forces that's helped inch the movie forward.
So what do we know? Well, we know Rob Thomas is writing it. We know Kristen Bell has committed to starring in it. And we know Silver is dead-keen to roar at the WB when they turn the project down.
Michael Ausiello reported this week that the film wouldn't take it's cue from the unsuccessful season 4 pilot pitch that saw Mars joining the FBI. Instead, it'll be set not-too-long after the events of Season 3 - with the cutesy tweenage investigator in university.
"The FBI scenario was more of a 'What if...?' aimed at getting us a fourth season [before the show was canceled]," Mars boss Rob Thomas tells Ausiello."I would want to bring back our key players, and it would be tough to believe that the FBI stationed Veronica in Neptune."
I, for one, would love to see a "Veronica Mars" movie. So much spunk there.

Veronica Mars Movie Mission?
Filed in: Movies
Yeah, yeah, okay, so it would've been kinda cool to be in Beijing last week when Michael Phelps won his record-shattering eighth gold medal. But it would've been even cooler to have had a ringside seat in Rob Thomas' office instead: At around the same time the man from Atlantis was making the splash heard 'round the world, the creator of Veronica Mars was sitting down with his beloved, lamented series' star, Kristen Bell, to discuss bringing the cult hit to the big screen.
Seriously.
The impromptu powwow took place last week in the offices of Thomas' Hollywood-based production company, which just so happens to be located on the same lot where Bell is shooting Heroes. "Kristen and I ran into each other, and we did discuss a Veronica movie," confirms Thomas, who says he has also had "a few conversations" with Mars executive producer Joel Silver.
"It's very tough to focus on it right now with two pilots on my plate," adds Thomas, referring to his two ABC projects, a reworking of his '90s dramedy Cupid and an adaptation of the New Zealand series Outrageous Fortune. "But as soon as I have any free time, that's my top priority."
For her part, Bell considers it a "major compliment" that people are still interested in Mars. "[Fans] still ask me all the time if the show's coming back. Emotionally, I don't want to think about Veronica Mars every day because it really does make me sad."
Regarding her recent chat with Thomas about a Mars feature, the star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, perhaps not wanting to jinx things, flashes a Cheshire cat grin and says, "We'll see."
