Variety:

Travis Knight has come on board to direct Warner Bros.’ film adaptation of the classic TV show “Six Billion Dollar Man" with Mark Wahlberg attached to star.

Sue Kroll, Bill Gerber and Steve Levinson are producing with Bill DuBuque penning the script.

“The Six Billion Dollar Man" is based on the sci-fi TV series “The Six Million Dollar Man,“ which is about a former astronaut, Colonel Steve Austin, portrayed by Lee Majors. Majors’ character, employed as a secret agent, had superhuman strength due to bionic implants. The series ran for five seasons on ABC between 1973 and 1978, and was based on Martin Caidin’s novel “Cyborg.“

I loved Knight’s work with Laika, and was surprised by how enjoyable Bumblebee was. I’m not too sure about this one though.
