[INDENT]Stephen J. Cannell, creator of the cult ’80s TV series The Greatest American Hero, confirmed to fans that a feature film is in the works.

“We’ve written a screenplay, and we’ve hired a director, and we’re in the midst of putting this together for the future,” Cannell told an audience in Hollywood on Sept. 7 at the Screen Actors Guild’s 25th-anniversary reunion.

The Greatest American Hero ran for three seasons on ABC, 1981-’83, and centered on Ralph Hinkley (Katt), a teacher who comes into possession of a red alien suit that endows its wearer with superpowers–but not the instruction manual.

The show is enjoying a renaissance of sorts, with a new comic book produced by Katt and producing partner Chris Folino under their Catastrophic Comics banner.

Additionally, there are plans for a series of four-minute animated Web shorts, voiced by Katt, Culp and Sellecca.

[/INDENT]I just got done crying in a corner. William Kat, who happens to be the son of Perry Mason’s hot secretary you KNOW he was doing, starred as the Greatest American Hero who couldn’t figure out how to be a hero and just kinda stumbled his way through the whole thing. Circa early 1980’s, I<3 this man and his fucked up blond afro. Now they’re making it into a movie. Kill me now.
