“Heroes World Tour” presented by Nissan, the first global marketing initiative of its kind, as 12 cast members of the Emmy Award-nominated drama will travel to eight countries around the world in eight days, beginning August 26, 2007. The promotional tour celebrates the launch of “Heroes” Season One DVD and HD DVD on Aug. 28, the Second Season Premiere on NBC, Sept. 24 at 9:00 p.m. ET and the debut of the show in multiple international territories.

The “Heroes World Tour” will be highlighted by personal appearances in the various markets, “meet & greets” with fans, television appearances, media events and activities as well as visits by the cast to iconic international landmarks and city hot spots.

For NYC Fans:
One highlight of the North American leg will be the appearance of cast members Gray-Cabey, Lee, Quinto and Ramirez along with artist Sale and co-executive producer Loeb at the NBC Experience Store in New York City on August 28, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Fans can visit the store and participate in signings of the “Heroes” Season One DVD and HD DVDs and other show merchandise on the floor. The “Heroes” Season One DVD will be an elaborate seven-disc set loaded with bonus features, including 50 deleted scenes and the 73-minute never-aired version of the pilot episode. The HD DVD offers a web-enabled Download Center that allows users unique access to exclusive online content, as well as other groundbreaking features such as the Heroes Abilities Test, The Helix Revealed, Character Connections and Picture-in-Picture Commentary.

Immediately following the autograph session, the stars will join with The Conservation Fund in a ceremonial tree planting to highlight the carbon zero “Heroes World Tour.” Next spring, the fund will plant 188 trees in a Texas wildlife refuge to offset the tour’s carbon footprint, including the emissions that will result from the air and auto travel, as well as hotel stays. As the trees grow, the new forest will safeguard the habitat for wildlife and trap more than 250 tons of carbon dioxide. The green message of the “Heroes World Tour” will be an important aspect of the campaign as NBC Universal and their international broadcast partners hope to raise awareness globally about the importance of environmental stewardship. Special limited edition green t-shirts, featuring art by Tim Sale, have been created for the “Heroes World Tour” and 50 percent of the sales proceeds will be donated to The Conservation Fund. Ten percent of all “Heroes” merchandise sold at the NBC Experience Store on Aug. 28 will also be donated to The Conservation Fund. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, STAR TV is sponsoring a “Heroes: Save the World Party” in conjunction with the World Tour to honor local heroes tied into their local CoolChange Green initiative.

Later on Aug. 28, Loeb and Sale will also appear at Midtown Comics Times Square, a popular local comic book and collectibles store, at 4-6 p.m. for a special autograph session for fans.
