Disney Studios is looking to bring the long-lost 1980s superhero series THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO to the big screen in a big way.
According to DAILY VARIETY, legendary TV producer and owner of the HERO mythos Stephen J. Cannell and the studio Walt built have tapped Paul Hernandez to develop the script for the first big screen outing of a sickly school teacher who becomes a clutzy superhero when aliens bestow on him a suit of immense power. Unfortunately for his heroic fate, the teacher (played by curly haired William Katt) misplaces the info on how to work the suit, so must go through his days fighting crime with powers and abilities he can barely control.
According to the trade, Hernandez persuaded Cannell and Disney to give him a crack when he brought in the original superhero suit from the show which he acquired from the original costume designer.
