Sorry but it’s not True Lies unless James Cameron’s name is attached to it, particularly on the Directing side of things. I’d like to to see them try regardless.

reply

Funny you say that since this doesn't really feel like a James Cameron movie to me despite him writing and directing it. But I think it's more that he never did comedies outside this movie. When I think of James Cameron the first movies that pop up in my head are Terminator 1 and 2, Aliens, and Titanic. I admit I never cared for the Abyss. I somehow don't feel someone besides Cameron directing a sequel is necessarily a bad thing.

reply

Agreed on Cameron. Not so sure I want to see them try.

reply

It doesn't say it's going to be True Lies. It just says an Arnie spy series from the production company that produced True Lies. There's no title either.

reply

i hope it's a mini series with arnold but they say it's for cbs

reply

So it actually is happening .. but as a remake? is this the same thing Arnie is involved in?

McG? Oh we're fucked.

The fact that it's a CBS show tells me all i need to know.Worst broadcast network on the air right now.I wonder what black woman they will get to play Arnold Swarzeneggers character.Queen Latifa is too busy doing her crappy woke version of the Equalizer.

TL:TV to focus on the JLC character?

I gues JLC would be the lead in this (with Arnold maybe cameoing) as pretty sure she's done TV recently and Cameron is involved

Idk if this is the TL series or not it definitely sounds like it and the girl looks like an older version of the daughter ?(but then why not just cast Eliza Dushku?)

reply

Wow. That might not be True Lies the TV show. But that's True Lies the TV show.

reply

Arnold emailed me and said its going to be called FUBAR (so not True Lies)

reply

LOL

I wish I could bet money on how bad this is going to be.

reply

True Lies the TV show casts its Harry Tasker

How ridiculous the 'official' Cameron produced True Lies series is going to be a remake with a new no name guy playing Harry , yet Arnold will be appearing in like a rip off TV series in a similar set up

reply

If it's a remake I doubt I'll watch it. Then again I don't watch regular TV and also sometimes work into the evening so I doubt I could watch it anyway.
