If they stay true to the story (either books OR TV show) I can live with him.

If it's another Bionic Woman (new series) nothing will save it.

I like him as an actor. Boogie Nights is my favorite by him.

Given the news lately about all the private space crashes, it's a very appropriate time to announce it! I agree with you that they need to stick to the story (and update it obviously). If they do so, I'll enjoy it!

Isn't this the bloke from the reboot of POTAs?

I kind of was hoping for Chris Pratt for some odd reason but Wahlberg is an interesting choice.

And somewhere the rest of The Funky Bunch sit gently weeping...

I think they live with Jazzy Jeff.

i hope it's not a comedy.

Wahlberg has a kind of Lee Majors twinkle in his eyes

Meaning he's generally likable

I kinda hope they go more the TV show style than the novels.

If they do the novels I don't think most fans would be happy

All I ask is they keep it serious. If they turn it into a stupid comedy I won't go see it.

[Earth 2 Chris]

It could go either way. He's done quite a few comedies in amongst his action and drama roles. His certainly fit for the role.

I like Wahlberg well enough but sometimes that soft voice and Boston accent sounds a tad whinny ... "Transfoamerzzz".

Still, he's pretty good in Lone Survivor so I know he's got the acting chops. And Peter Berg isn't really known for light and fluffy movies. I'm really with Chris, this could go either way.

No problem with Wahlberg--I'm with Dwayne, though: No interest in a comedy.

[EMCE Hammer]

I hope they also give him the ability to talk to animals.

[CrimsonGhost]

I was hoping it would be Donnie.
