That guy seems very sorry, honest.
May the Hollywood Reporter, Jason Bateman is a collaboration with author Mark Perez (Game Night) to adapt the novel Superworld, recently released by writer and film producer Gus Krieger as an Amazon audiobook. . The story takes place in 2038, in a world where everyone has superpowers except the eccentric named Ignatius Lohman. Lohman works a job with white collar, while everyone, probably, does cool super things all the time. But he will get his chance to be a hero when a villain rises up who can ignore superpowers.
Jason Bateman will direct the project, remember, not act in it (as far as we know) – in recent years he has taken a turn as a director and it looks pretty good in it. Bateman and Perez have previously collaborated on the film Game Night, a 2018 action comedy starring Bateman opposite Rachel McAdams. It was a fun movie, and shows that Bateman has the kettles to pick up something in the superhero space.
The project will take place under the Warner Bros. banner – they own the rights to the books – with Bateman directing, Perez writing, and producing David Kanter and Jeff Okin of Anonymous Content. It has no release date yet.
