CBS has started production of a pilot for the
True Lies
TV reboot

James Cameron's film starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, released in 1994, has been the subject of several adaptation attempts since 2017, when Fox attempted to bring the project to the screen with Mark Guggenheim, creator of
Arrow
.
This time, things are already much more advanced.
According to
The Hollywood Reporter
, not only is James Cameron involved, but Burn Notice's Matt Nix has been recruited to write the pilot and is already being tipped to produce the series if confirmed by the network.
Director McG (
