I am – Hercules!!


I’m old enough to remember how people said Michael Chiklis would be dead in Hollywood for agreeing to play John Belushi in the horrible film version of “Wired.” Well, cut to 21 years later and the star of “The Commish,” “Daddio” and “The Shield” is still plugging away.

The “Fantastic Four” star will now play the superpowered father of a superpowered clan in the pilot for ABC’s “No Ordinary Family,”

The proposed series’ premise sounds a lot like “The Incredibles,” which of course sounded a lot like “Fantastic Four.”

Before you get too excited, note "No Ordinary" was created by two veterans of numerous ABC dramedies: Greg Berlanti (“Dirty Sexy Money,” “Eli Stone,” “Brothers & Sisters”) and Jon Feldman (“Big Shots,” “Dirty Sexy Money”).

ABC tried combining its well-worn dramedy formula with sci-fi last summer, resulting in the reviled "Defying Gravity."

Berlanti was also once going to write and direct Warner’s “Green Lantern” superhero movie before Martin Campbell (“Casino Royale”) replaced Berlanti in the directors chair and ordered a rewrite by Michael Goldenberg (“Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”).
