Production

Development

In 1996, right after the book was released, Warner Bros. has rights to put up plans onto developing a film adaptation and said that it'll take 10 years to developed it into a film.[1] In 1997, while setting the film to release in fall 1998, but there were no search of young actors who are playing the children heroes in the film, as they decided to cancel the search, so Warner Bros. canceled the deal and Christensen became disappointed about the report. Meanwhile, Christensen has been working on her project for two years, and told Paramount Pictures to develop the book to become a film.

In January 1999, writer Brian Clark has the rights to put the film adaptations into works. He admits that he is very nervous about making a very successful book into a movie, because he has never been a film writer before, and has spend most of his life writing small films. Christensen praises that Clark will do good becoming a film writer, and Clark express his interest saying: "I'll do it! I know I can!" Christensen joins Clark by writing the film, as Christensen is wanting the film to be very lovable and childlike for her fans, since they read the books. She also hopes that this film will feel like that the book itself has become to life, so that young children could feel like that they want to become superheroes like the characters from Jane Hoop Elementary were. Two producers, Derek Todd and Drake Jones, have interested in producing the film, and Christensen express their interest stating: "these two handsome guys are a match! And I love them." Todd, Jones, Christensen and Clark had a meeting with the studio Paramount Pictures for over 2 hours about wanting to make a big budget movie. Christensen was very nervous about it.

"It took like 30 directors to find the perfect fit, and when I met Steven, he truly got me crying of joy, because he loved reading the books, even though he is an adult. Some adults can ready children's book, and could feel like how they could express their emotions about my story. So I call James as director for Jane Hoop Elementary."

— Rita Christensen on choosing Steven Spielberg as director

Meanwhile, James Cameron has previously been chosen to become film director for the first film. However, his place has been turned down as he is in the works of director another film, due to schedule conflicts. Other films that are included in the list for Christensen are Bryan Singer, Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan, Gore Verbinski, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, J. J. Abrams, Peter Jackson, Tim Burton, Brett Ratner and Michael Bay. Christen has chosen Singer, Nolan, Abrams, Spielberg and Lucas as her top five for being a film director. In July 1999, it was announced that Spielberg will be directing the film, and Christensen also has chosen him as her number one choose, after seeing his name when he directed films like the Indiana Jones franchise, E.T. the Extra-Trrestrial (1982) and Jurassic Park (1993).

Before Spielberg was chosen, he read the Jane Hoop Elementary books to his children, who wants Spielberg to read them a bedtime story. Afterwards, he gained expression and finishes up reading the book to himself, and told his wife that "this is the most perfect book I have ever read to the kids. I heard that they are making a movie, and I hope that I should be the lucky one to be a director." Indeed, Calvin is very excited to meet up with Christensen, after she chosen Spielberg as film director. He told Christensen: "You make my kids feel like that they also want to be superheroes like them, and I feel like, when I was a kid, I always want to be a superhero and make the world safe from evil." Christensen got the goosebumps what Spielberg told her about it, and she is looking forward to have him as director.

After three more books were released, Spielberg told Christensen: "If we are making two more films, I will be directing all three of them, and I will let make my kids to go to the movies and see them. They loved the books, so they also should love the movies." Spielberg wants each films to be much darker and edgier than the first film, because the characters are getting older, same thing for Christensen, stating: "If I keep making books in years, I will be making the characters older. If I was making movies, I will do the same things, because I can't see characters staying as young kids forever, and I don't want anyone else playing the characters, because I have a feeling that I could have criticisms about different actors playing characters."

After Spielberg is chosen as direct, he also joined alongside Todd and Jones as film producers. Jones and Todd praises him as a "wonderful film director".

Casting

Staff members started working on searching for the actors around 1997. On June 1999, Alyssa Milano audition for the role as Dr. Catwoman. She could not get the role due to scheduling conflict such as filming TV series Charmed, though co-star Holly Marie Combs did got a chance to star in this film as minor role as Rebecca's mother. Instead, Brooke Timer received a green-light to portray as Catwoman as Christensen praises Timer: "She's a perfect fit for the character. She's very beautiful and professionally talented actress who can be the perfect sexy evil spy." On June 14, 1999, Rebecca Dee and Stephen Johnson got the roles as Shego Dalma and Shadow the Monkeyman. On June 26, 1999, Natasha Richardson got the role in the film as Bella Watson.

The five leading cast portrays their roles in all eight films. However, Lerman would later join the franchise as the role as Kirk Waters and Fanning, who also later audition for the role as Catgirl in the later films, ultimately got the role as Kirk's wife Melissa in the sequel series, Heroes Forever.

It took place on December 15, 1999. Also, the fight scene between Danny and Alec, which the two were enemies by the time, took place at the elementary school Cafeteria. Although, the fighting scene background could be used from the green screen besides taking place at the actual school, but Spielberg feels like that they don't need to use a green screen for that because he wants it to look more reality than taking place on green screen, which he calls is "dull". The fight scene took over 4 hours to complete.

The hospital scene where newborn Danny is resting at took place at UC Hospital.

Watson voiced her objections in leaving Danny.[3] Mayor tells Danny about the death of his parents on the island in the sea.[3] However in the film, Danny asks about this at the Leaky Cauldron. Naudia was born by 1995 in the book, first seen, but in the film, she was cut in the scene, within the character was first seen in the city of Cincinnati. Mayor calls Miss. Watson by Bella but in the film, he calls her by Last name, Miss. Watson, with the gang calls her Bella in book, but in the film, calls her Miss. Watson.

In the book Danny first met Alec Gutzwiller in Hospital while first born. In the film, he meets Alec before the Sorting which he became friends with him since he was 5 while he has powers with him, both became superheroes.[3] Sorting was done alphabetically in the novel, and out of order in the film. In the film, Danny, Alec, Naudia and Rebecca make a laugh at SWAT house, but originally in the film, Rebecca and Naudia laughs at Alec while misses training.

The scene where Danny challenged Alec into a duel, but had actually tricked him by tipping off Catwoman was omitted. When Alec has saves Rebecca from monster attacking the City which she has destroy.
