Probably the only thing I've ever like Tom Arnold in, he was great in the movie and arguably deserved a Best Supporting Actor nod. He's not doing anything now, maybe they can get him to be in the TV show.

Actually I will watch it if they cast him, he was great in that movie (and as mentioned, awful in everything else).

They should get the guy from "Son of the Beach" to play Harry Tasker, he looks just like a young Governator

Hahaha I skipped the part where it said Tom, I just saw Arnold and forgot there where two in the cast. Tom Arnold is working as well, he showed up for a couple episodes last season on Sons of Anarchy, and I recently heard that among 20 or so direct to DVD movies this year he's also in Peter Berg's Battleship.

DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD: After smashing box office records with Titanic, James Cameron segued to television with a primetime series. Now, after topping Titanic’s record haul with Avatar, Cameron is returning to TV with what is one of the hottest projects this development season: a TV series take on his 1994 action comedy True Lies that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis. I hear the project, from Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment and 20th Century Fox TV, is about to be taken out to the networks. Rene Echevarria is the writer/showrunner, exec producing with Cameron and Lightstorm’s Rae Sanchini and Jon Landau. The 1994 movie centered on Harry Tasker (Schwarzenegger), a computer salesman/family man who lives a double life as a government spy. During a top-secret mission, Harry discovers that his mousy wife Helen (Curtis), is seeking adventure. Harry sets out to give her the excitement she craves while battling Middle Eastern terrorists who threaten nuclear war with the U.S.

After Titanic, which nabbed 11 Oscars, Cameron co-created and exec produced his first and only TV series to date, Fox’s sci-fi drama Dark Angel starring Jessica Alba. Echevarria worked on the show for its entire 2-season run, first as a co-executive producer and then as an exec producer. Lightstorm president Sanchini also served as a producer on the series. Echevarria, who co-created/executive produced the USA Network series The 4400, most recently served as an exec producer/co-showrunner on ABC's crime dramedy Castle and also exec produces the upcoming MTV series Teen Wolf.

On the feature side, Cameron is considering several projects, including Avatar sequel(s), Battle Angel and The Dive. But 16 years after its release, True Lies continues to be a fan favorite, with speculation about a potential sequel never dying. Cameron wrote and directed the movie, which was based on the 1991 French film La totale! penned by Claude Zidi, Didier Kaminka and Simon Michael. The trio shared screenplay credit with Cameron on the Hollywood adaptation. Like Titanic and Avatar, True Lies was at the time the most expensive movie ever made, rumored to be in the $100M-$120M range. True Lies also marked the first Lightstorm project to be distributed under Cameron's multi-million dollar production deal with 20th TV's sibling movie studio Fox.

I wonder who will play Arnold and Jamie's characters? I hope this means a True Lies blu-ray will be coming soon!

Yup. Who merged this? I went to do it, but someone already had?

Sounds like a bad idea...I'm not feeling it.

True Lies TV series Lands at ABC

James Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment is developing a television series based on (or spinning off from) the film True Lies, and the show will now air on ABC. When we reported on the development earlier this past week, we knew very little — only that Lightstorm and Cameron were producing with Rene Echevarria (The 4400, Castle) as writer and showrunner. 20th Century Fox TV is still involved, though ABC will now air the show.

This is the spot where I could recap the plot of the original film, in which family man / government agent Arnold Schwarzenegger gets his wife (Jamie Lee Curtis) involved in a plot to take out terrorists with nuclear ambition. But (a) you probably know the plot and (b) we have no idea how closely the TV show will relate to the film. Cameron lovers, go ahead and hope that he’ll direct the pilot. Stranger things have happened, and Cameron did direct the end of Dark Angel, the earlier series he produced…
