Jim Carrey is the Six Million Dollar Man!!

[FavaBeans CBM]

This is from Variety:<br><br>Dimension Films will adapt the 1970s TV series The Six Million Dollar Man for a feature comedy to star Jim Carrey and to be directed by Todd Phillips. Phillips will team with his ("Old School") writing partner Scot Armstrong to script a vehicle for Carrey to play the bionic man.<br><br>The project is based on the Martin Caidin novel "Cyborg" that was turned into the Lee Majors ABC drama series. Carrey pitched a take of the movie that persuaded Phillips to make a deal. He and Armstrong will begin writing as soon as they complete scripting the Dimension remake of School For Scoundrels, which Phillips plans to direct next.<br><br>After Carrey stars with Cameron Diaz in the Dean Parisot-directed Columbia Pictures remake "Fun With Dick and Jane" and Phillips completes "School," they hope to meet in fall 2004 to get The Six Million Dollar Man into production.<br><br><br>Awesome!! <br>FavaBeans <p>**---------------------------------------------------**<br>Visit my comic book movies website.

As usual the critics are going crazy over this announcement. They say it shouldn't be turned into a comedy and that Jim Carrey is no Lee Majors (the guy who played the title character on the TV show).<br><br>I say, poo-poo to them! Just look at what they're doing to Starsky and Hutch, another "action" TV-show turned comedy feature film. So, its not a big deal.<br><br>I just wish the critics would wait to see something before they jump all over the guy!<br><br>Down with the critics!! <p>**---------------------------------------------------**<br>Visit my comic book movies website.
