Not content with stopping time and generally bending the laws of physics on Heroes, Masi Oka has sold a family adventure film to DreamWorks.

Dubbed The Defenders, the story follows a group of teenagers from around the world who play a multiplayer video game, unaware of who they really are behind their avatars. However, they are forced to come together for a real adventure, inadvertently becoming heroes in the process.

Gary Whitta is writing the script, while D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye) is negotiating to direct.
