Julia Roberts to Star in a Feature Film Version of the Batkid Story

A pretty woman is coming to the rescue of Batkid! Julia Roberts will produce and star in a feature film remake of the documentary Batkid Begins: The Wish Heard Around the World.

In case you weren't anywhere near the Internet on November 15, 2013, Batkid is the moniker given to then 5-year-old Miles Scott, a leukemia patient whose Make-A-Wish event went viral and turned hearts into puddles of feelgoodness. Miles' wish was to be Batman for a day, and the city of San Francisco pulled out all the stops to make it happen, complete with a Batmobile duplicate, a mystery to solve, actors dressed as Batman and villains, police escorts, and a key-to-the-city presentation at City Hall.
