Batkid, aka Miles Scott, the sweet little boy and cancer survivor who captivated hearts around the world when he got to fulfill his dream of becoming a superhero, is coming to the big screen.

Julia Roberts is set to produce and star in a movie about the child’s heartwarming story that is based on Batkid Begins: The Wish Heard Around the World, Dana Nachman’s documentary, which debuts at the 2015 Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on Saturday, Variety reported. Nachman, the outlet said, will serve as executive producer of the new film.

“It’s thrilling to me that Ms. Roberts and her team watched our film and were so moved by it that they want to dedicate their time and creative capital to make sure the widest audience possible will know and love Miles’ story and the spirit of this intimate special event that went global, as much as we do,” Variety quoted Nachman as saying.

Miles, 6, was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 18 months old. His Make-A-Wish Foundation wish was to transform into Batman for a day. On Nov. 15, 2013, the organization helped the child, who was 5 years old at the time and had completed his final treatment five months prior, fulfill his dream.
