The latest rumor is that the perennially stalled Six Million Dollar Man film has found its star in Mark Wahlberg. It's an unsourced, unconfirmed rumor, so it may mean nothing.

Then there was a Jim Carrey-starring comedian version kicking around. And, lastly, one with Leonardo DiCaprio as Steve Austin and with Bryan Singer directing.
