They've been pushing that one for awhile now. Jim Carey was supposed to do it way back in 2003.

Eh, whatever.

I even remember one that was supposed to be a comedy starring Chris Rock (and I don't remember the Jim Carey one, it would have probably been a comedy too).

All I remember about the comedy version is that Lee Majors would make a cameo as the original Bionic Man who was suffering from Erectile Dysfunction and he needed a bionic upgrade.

I LOVED the wipe out - at the very open of the sitcom show -
and the thought that the guy could actually survived such a crash !
Like the Wide World Of Sports - when the ski jumper wipes out !

I wonder if they'd change the name due to inflation?  

Could be interesting. But please God no comedy. Remember the abomnation Land Of The Lost movie? Terrible !

At least they're not using Duane "the rock" Johnson. I can't stand his acting. They ruined the Walking Tall remake using him.

Mark Wahlberg? Are you sure it's not the Six Million Dollar Midget?

He'll have bionic legs that extend to make him taller.

Or the other actors will be in little trenches...

He's 5' 8'', that's 1 inch taller than the average American male.

I guess it depends where you look:

Average MaleAverage Male Height
The average height for the adult male is roughly 5'9" historically. The tallest man recorded being around 8'11" tall, and the shortest being around 1'10.5" (who is also the shortest known adult human). A chart outlining average male heights around the world is illustrated in the following table.
Country Average Male Height
Canada 5'8.5"
United States 5'9.5"
China 5'7"
India 5'5"
United Kingdom 5'9.5"


Remind me how cool I must be to be above average.

The figure I found was 5' 7".

Regardless, doesn't matter, 5' 8" is not short.

I'm not quite sure where you guys get your averages from but I'm 5' 7" and have always been considered an utter shortarse!

Or even 5' 11"

I'm 6-foot-6. To me everyone is short.

I want to see more Dancing Banana and Dancing Cheese bedazzled comments.

I'm 6' 2" and my younger bro is about 6' 4".
We're tall, but not too tall.

I ended up taller than either of my parents, but still just come in at an average 5' 9'' (my dad was 5' 6'' and my Mother is 5' 5'').
