Loudermilk: Napoleon Dynamite with Super Powers?

Perhaps not exactly, but something along those lines. Jon Heder, star of Napoleon Dynamite, is set to portray Loudermilk, who is described as a “Napoleon Dynamite-like oddball” who gains “what could arguably be called superpowers” with consequences. Craig Zobel has been tapped to rewrite and direct.

Now whether or not he’ll actually be just like Napoleon or if trade papers don’t necessarily have the wherewithal to describe oddball characters in any other way remains to be seen.
