Tim Allens SuperHero ZOOM in trouble ?

Posted by:

According to Variety Tim Allen is starring in a new comedy called Zoom, but a lawsuit is in the works to put the freeze on the movie. Apparently it is far to similar to the X-Men movies and its enough to get the lawyers going.

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 plays Marsha, a scientist with the secret agency that runs the superhero program and Chevy Chase will play the head of the agency. Apparently their is concerns since the script is so similar to the X-Men ( not sure how have not read it ) and it is coming out the same time as X-men 3 so the studios are sueing to try and at least get a date change.
