"Battlestar Galactica" executive producer David Eick and "Alexander" screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis are teaming to remake "The Bionic Woman" for NBC reports the trades.

Eick and Kalogridis will executive produce a new take on the 1970s "Six Million Dollar Man" spinoff in which Lindsay Wagner played tennis pro-turned-superwoman Jamie Sommers.

Instead of focusing on terrorism and militarism, the new "Bionic" will explore the role of professional women in contemporary society and how they juggle their various roles.
