'BATKID BEGINS' Documentary Set for June 2015 Release

According to Deadline, Warner Bros. will release Dana Nachman's documentary BATKID BEGINS: THE WISH HEARD AROUND THE WORLD on June 26, 2015.

Julia Roberts, who is also attached to produce and star in a narrative adaptation of the story, is on the producing team for the doc.

The official description of the film reads: "One child. One wish. Millions touched. Who would have thought a 5-year-old boy who fought leukemia would transform a city and a nation for a day? No one. Not his family. Not his friends. Not the thousands of volunteers who came from near and far to help make his wish come true. But it did. Batkid Begins is a documentary that takes you back to November 15th, 2013, the day San Francisco turned into Gotham City, and the day the internet was nice. More than a billion people took to social media to cheer on BatKid, even President Obama! In all, the #SfBatKid and #BatKid hashtags reached more than 1.84 Billion people on Twitter and Instagram. This wish and this little caped crusader resonated with so many people, including us, and we wanted to find out why."

Nachman directed and produced BATKID BEGINS alongside Liza Meak.
