‘Batkid Begins’ Movie Coming Soon Starring Julia Roberts

Date:

Julia Roberts is creating a ‘Batkid Begins’ movie.

Everyone is jumping on the Batkid bandwagon including Oscar-winner Julia Roberts. The actress and producer has just closed a deal to make a Batkid movie.

From Deadline:

The actress and producer just closed a deal to adapt Batkid Begins, the Slamdancepremiere documentary about the 5-year-old leukemia patient who got his wish to be a superhero granted when thousands of volunteers, and even President Obama, helped turn San Francisco into Gotham City for a day.

Batkid is the superhero name of Miles Scott, an American child and cancer survivor who is in remission. His wish was to be “Batkid”, a sidekick of the eponymous comic book superhero Batman, the subject of books, radio, television, and films. Once the request went out, thousands of volunteers, city officials, businesses and supporters rallied to turn San Francisco, California into “Gotham City” – the fictional home city of Batman – on November 15, 2013 for one of the largest and most elaborate Make-A-Wish projects ever staged.

Julia Roberts is expected to star in the upcoming feature film and produce the production as well.
