Syfy has ordered a 90-minute pilot for the offbeat semi-superhero dramedy Three Inches. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the script “centers on an underachiever who gains the power to move any object using his mind, but only for a distance of three inches. He recruits a team of fellow heroes, each with their own less-than-spectacular abilities.” It’s from writer Harley Peyton (Twin Peaks) and executive producer Bob Cooper.
Syfy also tells the trade it’s hoping to spin off Battlestar Galactica beyond Caprica.
The idea of “lame” super powers was brilliantly executed in the novel Playing For Keeps by Mur Lafferty. Highly recommended.
Please… this has “Misfits of Science” written all over it.
Can’t wait to see it….I haven’t seen a date of when it might air….
