"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 director is reportedly Stephen Herek, known for such '80s kitsch as Bill &
Ted's Excellent Adventure and Critters--a fact Cannell did not confirm at the
reunion panel.
The entire cast, producers, writers and famed stuntman Dennis "Danger" Madalone
joined Cannell for a lengthy Q&A session moderated by John Tesh, a Hero
historian and husband of star Connie Sellecca.
After Cannell's movie announcement, Sellecca took the opportunity to lock in
roles for herself and fellow original cast members William Katt and Robert Culp.
"I'm going to put Stephen on the spot," Sellecca said with a grin. "Cameos for
us?"
"Absolutely guaranteed," Cannell responded. "More than cameos: acting jobs."
