The awards are in honor of Greg Berlanti’s late mother Barbara, who died of lung cancer. The inaugural Heroes Gala was held in 2018 and honored “Arrow” star Stephen Amell and Fuck Cancer co-founder Yael Cohen Braun. The evening, hosted by Jeff Garlin, featured an appearance by Trevor Noah and a performance by Kristin Chenoweth. Berlanti remembered his mom as a “larger-than-life” figure who was “an incredibly proud mother.”
Berlanti is set to direct Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson in the tentatively titled “Project Artemis.” It is an Apple Original Films production reportedly set around the moon landing.
Berlanti launched production company Berlanti Productions in 2000.
