2006 film by Peter Hewitt
Zoom (also known as Zoom: Academy for Superheroes) is a 2006 American superhero comedy film based on the children's book Amazing Adventures from Zoom's Academy by Jason Lethcoe. The film was directed by Peter Hewitt and written by Adam Rifkin and David Berenbaum, with writing assistance from Tim Allen, who stars alongside Courteney Cox, Chevy Chase, Spencer Breslin, and Rip Torn. It features a former superhero who is dragged into training four superpowered youths to become superheroes and combat an approaching threat.
Released theatrically on August 11, 2006, by Columbia Pictures, the film was panned by critics and it was a box office bomb, earning just $12.5 million on a $75.6 million budget. Zoom was nominated for one Razzie Award, Worst Actor for Tim Allen (who was also nominated for The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause and The Shaggy Dog), but he lost to Marlon and Shawn Wayans for Little Man (also produced by Columbia Pictures and Revolution Studios).
