Mark Wahlberg offers an update on his THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR Man reboot

Way back in 2014, it was announced Mark Wahlberg and director Peter Berg they were going to develop a cinematic reboot of The Six Million Dollar Man 1970s science fiction series. The film should have had a new title The Six Billion Dollar Manand after all these years Wahlberg has offered an update on the film.

During an interview with ScreenRant, he said: “We have the rights again, we’re trying to make that movie – hopefully soon.” He then noted that there’s a “ticking clock” to playing an action hero, adding, “Thank God it’s an older guy who they think has some real-life experience that’s worth being objectified for.” of this experiment.”

The original show follows the story of Steve Austin, a former astronaut and test pilot who is seriously injured in an accident and is later rebuilt with bionic implants, making him superhumanly strong and fast. With his new abilities, Steve becomes a secret government agent, undertaking missions that require his unique abilities. As he grapples with his new identity and the moral implications of his enhanced powers, Steve navigates a world of espionage, intrigue and danger, all while trying to maintain his humanity despite his cybernetic enhancements.

Speaking about the film after the initial announcement, Wahlberg said: “We’re talking about making The Six Billion Dollar Man, who is really a superhero, but I don’t have to wear any kind of spandex cape. So that would be nice.

The actor also said: “We had a great idea and it’s something that’s been in the works for quite some time, so hopefully if we get the right script maybe we’ll make it happen next. Deep water horizon (2016).”

The film’s most recent screenplay was written by Bill Dubuque (The accountant). If this movie gets made, it could be interesting. I tend to like the films Wahlberg and Berg make together.
