The film was released on November 20, 1987. The film featured [[teen idol]] [[Jason Bateman]] and veteran actor [[John Astin]]. Loeb would re-team with Kring almost two decades later for the TV series ''Heroes''. Four years later, Loeb was working on a script for ''[[Flash (comics)|The Flash]]'' as a feature with [[Warner Bros.]] While the script deal fell through, Loeb met then publisher [[Jenette Kahn]] who asked Loeb to write a comic book for [[DC Comics]]. In 2002, Jeph Loeb wrote the script for the episode of ''[[Smallville]]'', entitled "Red", which introduced red [[kryptonite]] into the series. He became a supervising producer and has written many episodes since then. He signed a three-year contract, and although producers Miles Millar and Alfred Gough offered to keep him on for future seasons, Loeb left to care for his son, who had cancer (''See Comics career below'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kryptonsite.com/loeb0805.htm|title=Interview with Loeb at Kryptonsite|publisher=Kryptonsite.com|access-date=October 14, 2010|archive-date=February 22, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222050040/http://www.kryptonsite.com/loeb0805.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Loeb later became a writer/producer on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] TV series ''[[Lost (2004 TV series)|Lost]]'' during that show's second season. Leaving ''Lost'', Loeb went on to become Co-Executive Producer and writer on the NBC drama ''[[Heroes (American TV series)|Heroes]]'', which his colleague Tim Kring had created. Loeb wrote the teleplay for the first-season episodes "[[Heroes season 1#ep3|One Giant Leap]]" and "[[Unexpected (Heroes)|Unexpected]]".
