"It's been talked about for a while now, but at the Screen Actor's Guild 25th-anniversary reunion, Stephen Cannell confirmed that a film version of The Greatest American Hero was on its way. SCI FI Wire reports that there was a Q&A session featuring the cast and crew of the original series, where Cannell confirmed information about the film...
The director for The Greatest American Hero is reportedly Stephen Herek, though Cannell did not confirm this during the panel.
Originally a television series on ABC, The Greatest American Hero ran for three seasons and it still holds a soft spot in the hearts of many fans. Katt starred as Ralph Hinkley, a teacher who gains possession of a red alien suit that grants superpowers - although he does not get the instruction manual. Culp also starred as Hinkley's FBI minder, Bill Maxwell, and Sellecca portrayed Pam Davidson, Ralph's long-suffering girlfriend.
Interest in the series is riding high at the moment, with the announcement of the film, as well as a new series of comics produced by Katt under the Catastrophic Comics banner. In addition, there are plans for a series of animated shorts to be voiced by Katt, Culp and Sellecca."

I loved the show when I was a kid. I haven't cared for most of these retro-TV to movie products, though. I just hope it doesn't absolutely suck.
