Bryan Singer Hasn't Wasted Enough Time on 70s Nostalgia – Attached to Six Billion Dollar Man

Adding to the slate of revival fare clouting his directorial judgment as of late, Latino Review reports Bryan Singer is attached to helm The Six Billion Dollar Man, the cost-adjusted movie take on The Six Million Dollar Man, the popular sci-fi action series from the 1970s.
The 1970s, the same decade that gave us Battlestar Galactica on television, an expensive and glossy, camp-tastic Logan's Run (both on the big and small screens) and Superman: the Movie. All properties Singer got his hands on, spent a lot of studio dollars developing, and frankly wasting his talent and time, with Superman Returns as the only one to actually get made.
Seriously, Bryan, stop! The general public isn't warming up to your child nostalgia repackaged for today. Your Superman turned out great (Fuck the haters!) and holds up incredibly well, but even that wasn't met with universal acclaim.
Alas he's not giving that up anytime soon, and as Kristina did to Johnny Depp on Movie Moan, my interest following his filmmaking career as a fan is gone. Good buddy of mine put it best couple of weeks back. Bryan needs to go back to 20th Century Fox full-time and just make X-Men movies.
