Bruce Campbell's "Sky High" Idea for a TV Series
Get ready, because "Sky High," that beloved Disney flick from 2005, could be making a comeback! And who better to give us the inside scoop than Bruce Campbell? If you're not in the know, Bruce plays Coach in "Sky High," which totally rocked those superhero themes, bringing us some awesome high-flying action alongside some seriously funny moments. With superheroes as popular as they are these days, Bruce Campbell knows just the revival to give those superhero fans some classic, high-flying, high school entertainment!
Now, while "Sky High" has been living in the realm of “remember that?” nostalgia, it was definitely a fan-favorite and even garnered some critical love, with a pretty iconic moment featuring Bruce and Kurt Russell together (can you say, legendary team-up?) . And as Bruce told The Direct, he’s on board for a continuation, but not just in some typical “sequel” form — he wants a “Sky High” television series!
Campbell’s "Sky High" Pitch – The Super High School
He’s already got a story to tell. Imagine Wil Stout, the student who has no super powers (remember that wild subplot about a few students lacking that supergene?) as the center of the story, and the original characters coming back to give us those classic “Sky High” moments alongside some brand new ones! A “Sky High” series could actually delve deep into the world they established and let viewers get to know a bunch of those quirky, high school heroes (or even, not-so-heroic villains) better!
Honestly, I'd be first in line to check it out! This sounds so much fun! Imagine how interesting it could be with those quirky high school hero dynamics - imagine "Sky High" reimagined with the added depth that a TV show can provide - a deep dive into that unique "super school." It’s basically a guaranteed win for Superhero fans! Maybe those powers even get amped up, maybe they create even more cool villains and those superhero kids get involved in their wildest adventures! Just thinking about it gets me super hyped!
A “Sky High” Reboot For a New Era?
We know the original Movie made a big splash, and it's time to take advantage of all those fans that grew up watching those crazy stunts and epic powers - but with a new series on TV! The "Sky High" series has huge potential for those kids to grow up and rediscover the story, bringing their own generation’s perspective. There’s this magical energy that those "Sky High" fans bring, a love that's lasting, a bit of that nostalgic nostalgia for a movie we really wanted more of!
It might take some work, finding a streaming platform to embrace this new venture and finding the right talent, but if there was ever a Superhero show to be greenlit in the universe of Disney superhero films, "Sky High" should be it! Maybe we’ll even see more of that super team-up between Bruce and Kurt Russell – you just never know what those big-time superhero movie ideas can spawn.!
“Sky High” - One of the Greatest Disney Superhero Movies of All Time
It’s pretty clear how much "Sky High" still means to a lot of Movie lovers! With an incredible cast and fun twists (superheroes, but high school too, that was so unique!), it’s a really satisfying superhero adventure! It’s not too shocking to see fans still clamoring for more, because a story this entertaining deserves to be retold in this new age of television shows and movie adventures!
With those awesome stunts, hilarious action moments, and those hilarious moments (especially when it came to Coach's role) "Sky High" totally rocked it! So, whether it’s the "Sky High" television series that gets made or some other iteration, we’re totally hoping those superpowers keep flying! Maybe that television show will get more fans invested, a chance to look back at the history of "Sky High" and a whole new generation of fans ready to fall in love with those high-school heroes!
