Julia Roberts will star in and adapt the dramatic feature film version of the Batkid story, based on the documentary Batkid Begins: The Wish Heard Around the World. The crowd-funded doc is making its debut at the Slamdance festival in Park City, Utah, this weekend.
Batkid, of course, is Miles Scott, the young boy and leukemia survivor who became a superhero for a day in 2013 when thousands of volunteers helped fulfill his Make-A-Wish event and transform San Francisco into Gotham City. Scott became a social media sensation along the way.
Check out our Batkid slideshow above.
Roberts is attached to star in and produce the remake of the doc with her Red Om Films partners Lisa Gillan and Marisa Yeres Gill. Batkid Begins director Dana Nachman will executive produce, as will Submarine’s Josh Braun and Dan Braun.
