Greatest American Hero filming in July!
They’ve been trying to get a “Greatest American Hero” up for, well, longer than Alan Tudyk’s been talking up a “Serenity” sequel. Today, we got confirmed that the film version of the classic 80s TV series is finally on track for a July start.
A casting call is being e-blasted around Tinseltown’s top agents at the moment, alerting interested parties that the film’s director, Stephen Herek (“Dead Like Me”, “The Mighty Ducks”) is in need of a Ralph Hinkley (played in the series by William Katt) and Bill Maxwell (played in the series by Robert Culp).
Penned by Chris Matheson and Ryan Rowe, “Hero” is based on the classic TV show about Ralph Hinkley, a high school teacher. He is a good, decent, likeable guy who is selected by aliens to defend the Earth against Harvey Lundy, a remarkably dislikeable high school teacher who is the representative of a group of intergalactic strip-miners. But he doesn’t have to fight Lundy alone – he’s got a superhero suit that gives him super powers.
