Chevy Chase starring in Zoom

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chevy Chase ("Christmas Vacation", "Fletch")is joining the cast of Peter Hewitt's upcoming SciFi movie Zoom. It will be his first studio movie since "Orange County" (2002). Based on Jason Lethcoe's comic book "Zoom's Academy for the Super Gifted",  Tim Allen stars as the aging superhero Captain Zoom who has lost his powers and is forced to mentor a group of very gifted young people.

He has to encourage their handicaps, which are, in a sense, super powers. But on the surface they're handicaps. He tells them that all super powers are that, handicaps on the surface. And by this resurrection of his caring spirit and a big, huge villain, Captain Zoom gets his very powerful powers back, and saves the world.

Courteney Cox will play the scientist Marsha, who works for the secret agency that runs the academy. Besides starring in the movie Tim Allen also co-wrote the script together with Adam Rifkin, David Berenbaum and Matt Carroll.
