Thanks to Esteban for the heads up.
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.

I guess the sequel isn't happening...But this sounds like it might be good because I always liked that movie! Love the stripping scene by Jaimie Lee Curtis!!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Nikita!
ReplyDeleteWith Burn Notice, Covert Affairs, Chuck, and Undercovers, they are starting a spy gluttony to rival the police procedural. I don't think this one is necessary.
