Jim Carey's next adventure will be as Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man.
Carey has signed on the for the big screen version of the classic TV show that originally starred Lee Majors as Austin.
The movie will be written and directed by Todd Phillips. Phillips has just wrapped up work on the $470 million production of Starsky and Hutch which features Snoop Dogg in the role of Huggy Bear.
The Six Million Dollar Man was about Colonel Steve Austin, a government agent who made into a bionic man after an accident and then becomes somewhat of a superhero. The show was based on the novel Cyborg by Martin Caidin.
It may be some years until we see The Six Million Dollar Man at the movies. Phillips' next project is the movie 'School for Scoundrels'. He won't start writing the script for The Six Million Dollar Man until he is through with Scoundrels.
