The original show followed astronaut Steve Austin (Lee Majors) whose body is rebuilt with cybernetic technology after he received a traumatic injury from an aircraft crash.
The site claims Wahlberg's "Lone Survivor" director Peter Berg is attached to produce and possibly direct should the project come together.
Several attempts have been made to adapt the property before. Leonardo DiCaprio was attached in 2011 with Bryan Singer ("X-Men: Days of Future Past") set to direct. Jim Carrey was linked at one point too. However, the property was stuck in a rights tussle between TV series owner Universal Pictures and The Weinstein Company who own the rights to author Martin Caidin's novel Cyborg on which the show was based.
