The Six Billion Dollar Man....

Hmm, looks like this might happen: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/02/mark-wahlberg-six-billion-dollar-man-release-date

You know the old dirge: "Long as they treat it seriously, I'm in."

Wahlberg is a good choice. He's a worthy successor to Lee Majors and Ben Browder.

I just started watching the original series recently and there a lot of potential for a great modern remake.

...if it is as serious as the pilot movie. That still holds up over 40 years later.

Agree. It could be a great film, if done right. Maybe, even a franchise.

Yeah, the pilot movie was pretty cool. I'd be down for a remake, as long as it was just serious enough, but still had an occasional fun element to it.

And in truth, I am one of the few that actually liked the all too shortly lived "Bionic Woman" of recent years.

I can't wait, I love the old show and this has been floating around for a while Im glad the movie finally has a release date. I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do modern visual effects.

I'm up for a respectful adaptation ($6 billion? There's inflation for ya!). Not sure that Mark Wahlberg is who I'd have chosen as the lead, though I do like him in general.

I just want to see someone turn that Venus Probe into a super Dalek

$6B inflation probably to make it believable that there will be very few bionic men or women in this film and it's sequels[if a franchise happens]. I am surprised he wasn't the Six Trillion Dollar man.

I agree on Mark Wahlberg. Let's hope he brings more acting to this science-fiction reboot, then he did to Planet Of The Apes (2001).

I think he's always been better as a supporting actor than a lead. The Departed, Three Kings and The Perfect Storm come to mind though he was good as the lead in Boogie Nights (arguably more of an ensemble movie admittedly).
