James Cameron developing True Lies as a TV show
In order to slake the public’s insatiable thirst for sexy spies, director and humanitarian James Cameron will provide much-needed relief by adapting his own True Lies into television form. Strands of the 1994 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a government spy, whose double life as a quiet family man unravels once his wife Jamie Lee Curtis discovers his secret and uses the opportunity to explore her inner stripper, can be found in seemingly half of the film and TV projects released in the last few years—everything from Mr. And Mrs. Smith to Killers to the upcoming Undercovers—so Cameron probably realized that the time was ripe to reclaim what was rightfully his, and render unto Cameron what is Cameron’s.
