Malcolm In The Middle star Frankie Muniz is returning to acting for the first time in five years for a new movie currently being filmed with the title of “Pizza Man.”
The film is executive produced by Foz McDermott, known to many online fans of Heroes as “TheMightyFoz” on Twitter. McDermott was involved in many aspects of the show’s production, also producing for the BBC “Heroes Unmasked” series in addition to writing episodes of the Heroes “Slow Burn” tie-ins as well as writing for the online graphic novels.
“Pizza Man,” envisioned as a family-friendly feature that could be enjoyed by fans of the genre as well as their kids, also features former championship wrestler “Diamond” Dallas Page as the villain.
Why is this on KSiteTV, you ask, as this is primarily a television site? The answer is simple: The hope is to incorporate some folks from past superhero-related projects either in full roles or cameos. Most of the appearances are yet to be announced or officially confirmed, although we do know that David H. Lawrence XVII, aka Heroes’ Puppet Master, will be in the movie as a character who is very different from his Heroes role.
Writing the script will be Marco Mannone. whose previous credits include 2008’s Vampire Killers.
Directing the film is Joe Eckardt, who directed High Hopes starring Jason Mewes of Kevin Smith movie fame.
Stay tuned for more information about this project as it becomes available.
