I wonder which story they are thinking of doing, or if it will be something completely new? Astro City is one of my favorite comics, I hope this manages to make it off the ground without some studio head deciding that they need to stick their hands into it and muck things up.

Me too; I hope they at least give Kurt Busiek a veto vote on any stupid ideas the executives want to stick in there. This has the potential to be really good, but I don't think I'm even going to go to the effort of getting my hopes up until I hear more about it.
