New York artists sue NBC over Heroes concept | Entertainment | Television | Reuters: "Two artists sued NBC Universal and the creators of the network's superhero drama 'Heroes' in U.S. district court this week, claiming their work had been wrongfully copied on the television show.
New York-based artists Clifton Mallery and his wife Amnau Karam Eele charged in a suit filed on Thursday in Manhattan that 'Heroes' creators based their plot line -- about an artist who can paint the future -- on a short story, a painting series and a short film the couple exhibited in 2004 and 2005.
A spokesman for NBC, a unit of General Electric Co., said in a statement the network believes the suit is without merit. 'We intend to defend it vigorously and expect to prevail.'"

BILL, TIM KRING STOLE THE NYC ARTISTS ART AND STORYLINE. A STORY RAN ON THE TWINS AUGUST 5, 2004 IN THE NY DAILYNEWS TITLED: FUTURE TRIBECA STARS WRITTEN BY VANITY FAIR MAGAZINE WRITER LLOYD GROVE. TO READ ENTIRE STORY GOOGLE ENJAI EELE OR AMNAU EELE. THE STORY ALSO RAN IN THE JEWISH FORWARD AUGUST 6, 2004 WRITTEN BY LLOYD GROVE TITLED: WEIRD PREMONITION. REMEMBER IN MANY INTERVIEWS TIM KRING CLAIMS THAT HE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF HEROES AND THE ARTIST THAT CAN PAINT THE FUTURE IN OCT-NOV 2005. THE TWINS STORY ABOUT THEIR ABILITIES TO PAINT AND WRITE THE FUTURE RAN IN A MAJOR NYC NEWSPAPER IN 2004. YOU BE THE JUDGE. THE TWINS LEFT TEXAS HEADED
TO NYC WITH A PAINTING CALLED THE ATTA PAGE BEFORE 9-11-01 TO STOP 9-11-01 BEFORE IT HAPPENED. ( ISN'T THIS THE STORY LINE OF ISAAC MENDEZ AND HIRO ? ), THE ATTA PAGE IS BASED ON THE FACTS THAT THERE ARE 9 LETTERS IN MANHATTAN AND 11 LETTERS IN MOHAMED ATTA. THE NAME ATTA IS ALSO IN THE WORD manh ATTA n. THE TWINS TOLD THE AUDIENCE AT HUNTER COLLEGE APRIL 22, 2005 THAT ATTA WAS SENT BECAUSE WHENEVER WE LOOK AT THE WORD MANHATTAN WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE NAME ATTA AND WHAT HE DID TO THE TWIN TOWERS ON 9-11-01. THE TWINS ARE FROM TEXAS AND IT MAKES ME WONDER WHY SO MANY GIFTED AND SMART PEOPLE COME FROM TEXAS ? I DOUBT IF TIM KRING HAS THE BRAINS TO CREATE ART OR A STORYLINE ON THE LEVEL OF THE TWINS ATTA PAGE. WHAT DO YOU THINK ?
I don't know anything at all about Kring or how he came to create the show. It's going to make an interesting trial, for sure.
