Rotten Tomatoes has received intel alerting them to a possible Ralph Hinkley - and shit if this one don't drive you bonkers!
Former "90210" star Ian Ziering has tested for the role of the schoolteacher cum superhero in Stephen Herek's big-screen retool. Yes, Ian 'Steve Sanders' Ziering.
Surely they're going to cast bigger than that, right? What about Owen Wilson? Heck, even Leo Sayer would be better!
Penned by Chris Matheson and Ryan Rowe, “Hero” is based on the classic TV show about Ralph Hinkley, a high school teacher. He is a good, decent, likeable guy who is selected by aliens to defend the Earth against Harvey Lundy, a remarkably dislikeable high school teacher who is the representative of a group of intergalactic strip-miners. But he doesn't have to fight Lundy alone - he's got a superhero suit that gives him super powers.
The casting breakdown for Hinkley says he's “29-39, an all-around good guy, with boyish handsome good looks, smart, decent, honorable and resilient, Ralph is a high school history teacher in Tempe, Arizona, a bachelor who hasn't yet found the right girl. Selected by a bunch of aliens as the perfect hero to champion the rights of humankind against an evil nemesis, Ralph gets a superhero suit and a rather gruff squire in the form of FBI agent Bill Maxwell - neither of which yield easily to his control. Stuck inside the suit while awaiting for a duel-to-the-death challenge from his sinister opponent, Harve Lundy, Ralph proves to be honest, upright, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent as he prepares himself to do or die, without losing his Eagle Scout-ish honor or his suit in the process. Oh, and he gets a girlfriend along the way.”
