Zwigoff and Clowes will build "$40,000 Man" movie

played by Steve Austin's evil twin no doubt

Zwigoff and Clowes will build "$40,000 Man" movie: "Terry Zwigoff will rewrite and direct 'The $40,000 Man' with Dan Clowes, with whom he collaborated on 'Ghost World,' according to an item in the Hollywood Reporter: Link. The tale centers on a famous American astronaut who is badly injured in a car wreck, and is then rebuilt by the government to be a 'bionic man' -- but on a skimpy budget of $40,000, he's one cheap cyborg. (thanks, Susannah Breslin!)
