Thumbs down Guess who is to be the next Bionic Man?

Yep, remakes are the next BIG thing and Col. Steve Austin gets a make-over in the remake of the Six Million Dollar Man (due to be released in 2005).

But who is playing Steve Austin?

Jim Carrey :scared:

Now, I like Jim Carrey, but the Bionic Man. No way!

Edited because I thought Steve was worth 6 billion not 6 million.

I wish. I used to love the show when I was a kid. My mother has a great story about trying to talk me down from my bedroom window as I said I was bionic and could jump to the ground. Trust me, I was only 6. I also believed I could hold my breath under water like The Man From Atlantis

More info on the movie here.

I've been sitting here thinking who would be better suited to the role.

What about Mark Wahlberg? He was good in Planet of The Apes.

I bet Lee Majors makes a camio appearance

Now, who is going to play Oscar Goldman?

#1 choice: Kevin Spacey.

Just hope they don't wreck it like they did with Starsky and Hutch.
Did anyone else have the Steve Austin action figure? It had rubber skin you could roll up so you could see the bionics and the magnifying eye!!!

How about the Six Million Dollar WOMAN!!!!

Topping my list of ideal and not so ideal candidates are...

1) Anna Nicole - ditzy, trim, and Texas-size 'tude when she's ready to tussle!
2) Fergie - bionic woman with a toff accent!
3) Cameron Diaz or Charlize- show me a man that does not drool over these!

No way list....

1) Angelina Jolie - isn't she going off to be a pilot for the UN.
2) Halle Berry - groan
3) Scarlett Johansson - come in #9 your 15 minutes is up!

Yeah, that was cool!!

I had a rocket thing that opened up and became an operating table for the doll.

Man, toys were better when I was young

Edited because I thought Steve was worth 6 billion not 6 million.
