Variety reported on Friday that Revolution Studios has reached a deal to make a movie version of the '60s sitcom, which previously was in the hands of the defunct Destination Films. The original series, which aired from 1965-71, starred Bob Crane as Col. Robert Hogan, an American in a Nazi POW camp.
Revolution hopes to cast a major star as Hogan.
The twist was that Hogan and his odd-ball prisoners used the camp, overseen by Werner Klemperer's incompetent Col. Klink, as an underground Allied base of operations. We want 'Hogan's Heroes' to be a smart movie for everyone. The project was most recently in development at Destination Films, which went out of business earlier this year.
