Believe It Or Not - They're Updating Greatest American Hero!




Fresh off the heels of successful pictures a'la The Dukes of Hazard and The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, Sony has opted to give '80s series Greatest American Hero a redux. Details are currently scarce, as neither screenwriter nor director has been choiced.

My sources are telling me that the studio is considering Tom Welling for the role, but it's all wrong. Personally, Heroes' Isaac Mendez kind of reminds me of a young William Katt.

If anything is certain, it's that Sony is looking to make a much darker film than one would expect, nixing the comedic route of the source for something for emotional. And Heroes sure has a shitload of scenes like that. But not done in the faggy way that Scrubs keeps doing me with every week.
