Dis 'High' on Angarano for superhero pic Borys Kit May 27, 2004 Walt Disney Pictures has found an up-and-coming superhero in Michael Angarano, who will star in "Sky High," a superhero teen comedy movie that Mike Mitchell is directing and Andrew Gunn is producing. "Sky High" centers on a high school for superpowered teens in a world where superheroes are an everyday occurrence. The story follows Jeremy, the son of superheroes Commander Stronghold and Jetstream, and his trials and tribulations of being a regular teenager and a possible future hero. Brigham Taylor and Louanne Brickhouse are the execs on the project, which has a start date of Aug. 20 in Los Angeles. Gunnfilm's Ann Marie Sanderlin is executive producing. "It was really hard to find the perfect 16-year-old kid, and luckily we found him," Gunn said. "We watched his audition tape, and everybody reacted the same way: 'Oh my God, this is the kid.' Usually in the casting process, there's at least one person that's like, 'Well, maybe,' but this was unanimous." Angarano played the young Red Pollard, Tobey Maguire's character, in last year's "Seabiscuit" and played the young William Miller, Patrick Fugit's character, in "Almost Famous." He also was a series regular on NBC's "Will & Grace." He recently wrapped "Dear Wendy" and is filming the skateboarding movie "Lords of Dogtown." Angarano is repped by Meredith Fine at Coast to Coast Talent.
