Mentioned today in Variety is a new television project in development at ABC as a movie of the week. Titled ACTIONHEROES INC., the project is about three washed-up television action heroes that decide to start up their own private investigation film, using their remaining star charisma and experience playing make-believe heroes to fight crime in Los Angeles. What makes the show that much more interesting is that the producers have three real former TV action stars attached to play the characters, namely William Shatner (STAR TREK), Robert Wagner (HART TO HART) and Lee Majors (THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN).

The name of the project? BRAT PACK CONFIDENTIAL, of course.
