The REBOOT onslaught continues… this time with a True Lies TV Show.
James Cameron and McG (Director of Terminator Salvation) will team up to Executive Produce the show…
True Lies comes to us from 20th Century Fox Television and will be executive produced by Cameron, who wrote, directed and produced the original film. McG will also executive produce and is set to direct the pilot. McG’s Wonderland Sound and Vision president Mary Viola and Lightstorm Entertainment’s Rae Sanchini will executive produce. Sanchini executive produced the film as well.
Sadly it doesn’t look like Harry Tasker (Schwarzenegger) will be the focus but you can bet he might appear in some cameos or be in the role/position that Charlton Heston had in the movie! If this isn’t an all out TOTAL reboot that is…
The reboot will reportedly be a modern take on how a couple deals with the reveal that one of is, and had been, a spy.
McG also recently revived Lethal Weapon as a TV Series….
The film True Lies took in a worldwide total of $378.8 million and also starred Tom Arnold, Bill Paxton, Charlton Heston, Tia Carrere and Eliza Dushku. It was a remake of the French comedy La Totale! from 1991. Curtis won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and the Saturn Award for Best Actress for her role in the film. Cameron won the Saturn Award for Best Director. It was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
What do you think about this news? Are you open to a full reboot or do you want it to be a continuation reboot/reconnect?
Does the word Reboot scare you as much as it scares us?
