Bruno Heller is getting a lot of buzz for his new show The Mentalist, but he was also the producer of the critical darling but cancelled drama Rome for HBO.
The premature cancellation of the series is leading Heller to think of doing a feature film to continue and possibly give closure to the series. HBO executives have actually admitted that axing Rome may have been a mistake because the show posted great ratings for the second season even without the Sopranos lead-in it enjoyed for the first season.
