Offers "Variety," "Segal and [producer Michael] Ewing began working on the film three years ago at New Line before it moved over to Warners. Pic centers on teenaged Billy Batson, who transforms into the superhero when he says the word 'Shazam!' The studio is now looking to go back to the original DC Comics source material for inspiration. Previous drafts have been penned by John August, William Goldman, Bryan Goluboff, and, the team of Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow." No release date has been suggested at this point.
