Proving he can reboot a franchise with his Transformers spin-off movie BumbleBee, Warner Bros. has officially recruited director Travis Knight to take over The Six Billion Dollar Man, which has been lingering in development Hell for most of this decade.
Warner Bros. acquired the rights to The Six Billion Dollar Man back in 2017, buying them from The Weinstein Company as that studio crumbled under the weight of a huge sexual misconduct scandal involving Harvey Weinstein.
Mark Wahlberg has long been attached to star in The Six Billion Dollar Man, which is an updated reboot of the classic sci-fi action series The Six Million Dollar Man, with a few extra dollars tacked on.
Mark Wahlberg has been attached to The Six Billion Dollar Man as far back as 2014, confirmed to star as Steve Austin in November of that year.
