"Do it doucement. Do it very slowly." That's right, Boris and Doris fans. According to Deadline.com, a True Lies TV series is in the work with mega-movie director, and Lies helmer, James Cameron producing.

The series is about to be shopped around the networks with Rene Echevarria (The 4400) as the writer/showrunner. Should this series, about a husband and wife spy-team, get picked up it will mark Cameron's official return to TV after producing the Jessica Alba series, Dark Angel. We also don't know, at this point, if the series will reboot the Harry Tasker (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie) story, or continue on from where the movie left off.

Weird....I'd probably watch it

Wow! Didn't see this coming. I might check out the first couple episodes.

Sounds like a show fit for USA or the CW.

True Lies is probably my favorite Arnie film. This will be a fail without Arnie of JLC both of whom I have no doubt will not be in it. Jmo of course.

Now that I think about it. This show needs Tom Arnold or it will be awful.

Arnold, Jamie, and Cameron's over the top budget and stunts are what made True Lies "True Lies." Obviously none of that will translate to a television series.

it'll definately work for TV.

if 1000 tv shows based on crime fighting psychics can work, then so can one with secret crime fighting married guy.

Interesting.

True Lies is one of the best action movies.

Spy-marriage on the small screen? Yeah it's called "Undercovers" and it premieres Wednesday, September 22 on NBC.

Years into their retirement, a husband and wife team are re-activated as CIA agents.

lol, yea I was thinking the same thing when I first saw the commercials for that.

And commercials for Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Knight and Day, Killers, etc, etc.

I think Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman, would be perfect for this!!

No Arnold, No Tom, No Dice. True Lies is my favorite Arnie movie and this show will be an abomination to it.

if it does get picked up by a network, I don't see it lasting long

I guess this is the closest we are going to get to a sequel. Damn brilliant movie. Let's hope the show does it justice.

Pfffft......

I know right. Instead of giving us an actual sequel, they try this?? Fail. I don't see this show getting the light of day on a channel. It'll probably end up like that Aquaman show that only shoots a pilot episode only to have it aired once....on a Wednesday night at 11 pm
