I am – Hercules!! Jack Bender, the longtime “Lost” executive producer who also served as the series’ first-string director, has signed aboard to direct and produce “Alphas,” the new pilot for the Syfy channel scripted by Zak Penn (“Elektra,” “Fantastic Four,” “X-Men: The Last Stand,” “The Incredible Hulk”) and Michael Karnow (“House of Buggin’”). The 90-minute pilot follows a team of civilians who possess overdeveloped neurological abilities. A version drafted for ABC featured a hot girl who could bend people to her will, a “Rain Man”-type autistic savant, an ex-FBI agent who could use adrenaline to give himself super-strength, and a woman who could destroy stuff with her voice.
