Former Disney and Warner Bros. animator Jason Lethcoe is very hot. DAILY VARIETY reports that Revolution Studios has optioned his HARRY POTTER-like graphic novel, ZOOM'S ACADEMY FOR THE SUPER GIFTED, which concerns an unpopular high school girl who enrolls in a superhero academy, with the help of her mysterious father. Screenwriters are now being wooed for the live-action feature.
Lethcoe recently joined Sony Pictures Animation and is story editor on another of his adaptations, HEROBEAR AND THE KID, which is set up at Universal. ZOOM'S ACADEMY and HEROBEAR were both published by Astonish Comics.
Bill Desowitz, former editor of VFXWorld, is currently the Crafts Editor of IndieWire.
