"Hogan" Heading Back to Hollywood
Sony-based Revolution Studios is launching an operation to make a movie version of Hogan's Heroes, Daily Variety reports.
The series, which ran from 1965 to 1971, starred Bob Crane as Colonel Robert Hogan, the head of a ragtag group of imprisoned Allied inmates in a Nazi POW camp. There were laughs aplenty as Hogan and pals ran an elaborate espionage and sabotage campaign right under the radar of the bumbling camp director, Colonel Klink (Werner Klemperer) and his henchman, Sergeant Schultz (John Banner).
According to the Variety report, Hogan's Heroes: The Movie will reincarnate the spirit of the original sitcom, while re-imagining it for a more contemporary audience.
"You try to think of movies that you grew up with and loved," says Tom Sherak, cochair of Revolution who will also executive produce the film. "Things like Stalag 17 or The Great Escape. We want Hogan's Heroes to be a smart movie for everyone."
The idea for a big-screen Hogan has been bouncing around Tinseltown for several years. Mel Gibson nearly signed on to play a celluloid Hogan back in 1998, but later dropped out to pursue other projects.
Then, earlier this year, rights to the Hogan property went AWOL when the production company that controlled them, Destination Films, went belly up. Revolution stepped in, snatched up the rights and has since been looking to enlist a major Hollywood star.
Meanwhile, another movie related to Hogan's Heroes is in the works, but it's doubtful it will be quite as funny. Director Paul Schrader (Affliction) has teamed up with writer-producers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (Man on the Moon) to develop Auto-Focus, a feature film based on the life of Crane, who's bizarre sexcapades led to his murder in 1978.
