Jon Heder remains best known as the title character in Napolean Dynamite, his breakthrough role. Heder isn't straying too far from the formula that made him famous in Loudermilk, the forthcoming comedy that Heder, his identical twin brother Dan, and their older sibling Doug are producing for Rogue Pictures via their Greasy Entertainment production company.

Heder and his brothers came up with the original idea for the film about an oddball who gains superpowers after being contaminated by a strange substance. The character is supposed to be reminiscent of Napolean Dynamite, and follows him as he deals with the consequences of his new powers.

The film is currently undergoing a script rewrite courtesy of writer Craig Zobel. Production and release dates are not available at this time.
